Choosing the earrings to suit your face shape

The shape of your face, the length of your hair and even your colouring have a huge impact on what shape and style of earring is best for you.

 

TIPS:

• Long faces look good in chandelier -shaped earrings
• Round and dangling earrings will make a fatter face and chin look thinner
• Round faces and double chins should stay away from studs or circular clip-ons

• Short necks become even shorter next to long, dangly earrings that hang to the shoulder.
• Plain golf-ball-sized hoops suit everyone
• Don't wear fancy earrings if you want to look professional and relatively serious
• Diamante studs look like something fake trying to be real. If you go with diamantes, go full on over the top and celebrate it's false origins.
