Must-Know Tips for Wearing Earrings: Top Trends and Styling Advice

As we set out to create our first collection of statement earrings, we knew they had to be on point. Not just any earrings – but pieces that dazzle, suit every face, and stand the test of style. We dove headfirst into research, reading everything we could find, and, to our surprise, discovered a few gaps in our earring knowledge. Not ones to leave any stone unturned, we went on a mission to understand everything about earrings, from face shape harmony to the newest trends. So here we are, excited to share our newfound knowledge with you! Because, at Pindazzle, we’re not just about style; we’re about helping you discover yours, earring by earring.

First things first: Earring Vocab 101

We brushed up on a few terms, and we thought you might like a quick rundown too. Here are a few favorites:

• Huggies: Small hoops that ‘hug’ the earlobe. Perfect for everyday elegance.
• Climbers: Earrings that sweep up the ear from the lobe, adding a touch of drama.
• Ear Jackets: These beauties are designed with an ornamental piece that threads onto the earring post behind the lobe, giving a layered effect below the ear.

And a little secret: some earrings are designed specifically for your left or right ear, crafted to flatter the unique contours of each side. As a general rule, a climber should follow the natural curve of your ear, while jackets or drops work wonders along the jawline. But we bet you already knew that!

Here are five more things to keep in mind to dazzle with your earrings:

1) Face Shape is Key

Earrings are not just accessories – they're magic wands for accentuating your face. If you have a round face, drop earrings with elongated or angular designs can help create length and definition. Long faces? Opt for studs or climbers to add balance. Pull your hair back and get acquainted with your face! Diamond-shaped faces (cheekbones as the widest part) and hearts (tapering from forehead to chin) are beautifully balanced by longline earrings. And for a little insider tip: some earrings, like simple hoops, suit everyone – they’re the timeless shape shifters.

2) Flat Back Earrings: The Trend Everyone’s Talking About

Flat back earrings are all about comfort and style with a clean, flush finish behind the lobe. This trend has swept in, making its mark not only for being chic but for adding a subtle edge to any look.

3) Mismatched Earrings: Unapologetically Bold

Who says earrings have to match? The mismatched earring trend has dominated runways and isn’t just a playful style – it’s a strategic art form! This look highlights your face’s natural beauty and gives you the freedom to mix and match like never before. In a world where style is all about personal expression, accessories like these become powerful tools for self-discovery and empowerment.

4) Statement Earrings: Make Them Shine on Their Own

Statement earrings are subjective – it could be their size, color, or shape that makes them stand out. Even stacking a few simple hoops can make a statement if you have multiple piercings! The key is not to overdo it; if you choose bold earrings, let them shine by keeping other accessories minimal. Fun fact: Did you know Cleopatra was a fan of large, bejeweled earrings? Talk about making a statement!

5) Pearls: Timeless, But Cooler Than Ever

Pearls have found their way back, but this time they’re cooler than ever. Designers are playing with everything from traditional pearls to fresh, colorful, and unexpected shapes, bringing new energy to this classic gem. From bold baroque to delicate clusters, pearls are the perfect way to add elegance with a modern twist.

Hope this guide gives you some fresh ideas for styling your earrings and helps you dazzle with confidence! At Pindazzle, we believe earrings are more than just accessories – they’re reflections of who you are. So, go ahead, try something new, and let your earrings do the talking!
