The Right Earrings for Your Face Shape

The Right Earrings for Your Face Shape

Earrings are a great fashion accessory! They come in so many different shapes, sizes and designs, which is great for styling different outfits and even face shapes. Of course, some of us have preferences, like studs only or drops for evenings, but some say that certain styles or earrings suit different face shapes. So, huggie earrings might suit one person more than the other, or studs may sparkle on someone else. It’s all about finding the right earring for the right face!

The title may sound straight out of TEEN Magazine, but earrings are a staple in your jewelry box and certain styles do work best to accentuate the shape of your face. Today David Mamane, CEO of MyJewelryBox.com offers tips on what styles work best with your face frame:

OVAL:

 

* Since Oval faces are well proportioned, studs and smaller hoops work best in order to not make a face look too long.

ROUND:

 

* Chandelier or dangling earrings are the best match for the classic round face shape as they draw attention to the cheekbones and jaw line and can balance out a wider forehead. Hoops are not a good match for a round face as they make the face appear rounder.

* Earrings that have rounded edges look best because they will soften a square face. Medium to long styles are best but large, angular styles can make a square face appear wider.

RECTANGLE:

* Rectangle shaped faces should look for Statement chandelier styles with lots of volume. Simple studs also work well as they draw the eyes horizontally.
