How to find the earrings that flatter you
Earrings are some of the easiest, and most versatile, jewelry designs to wear. They can make you look pulled together in an instant, call attention to your facial features, and can go from day to night effortlessly. Here are some guidelines as to earring styles, and how they flatter the shape and features of your face.
How Earring Styles Flatter Your Face
Some people will tell you that the shape of your face should determine the style of earrings you should wear. And although there is truth that certain styles may look better than others based on the shape of your face, it shouldn't restrict the types of earrings you choose to wear.
You should also consider your personal style and what you like, your hair, neckline, and lifestyle when choosing a pair of earrings.
Here are a few rules about various earrings styles and what they accentuate:
Dangling Earrings
Earrings that hang down from the ear, and/or move with you, call attention to your face. Their movement will soften the look of your face's angles.
Hoop or Curved Earrings
Curved earrings such as these soften the all over look of your face, and they look great on almost everyone.
Long Earrings
Earrings that hang vertically create an illusion of length, and depending upon their size, can be very dramatic.
Wide Earrings
Earrings that have a wide, horizonal design make the jawline and the chin become more in focus.
