Different face shapes suit different types of earrings. Round faces should avoid studs and opt for drop or chandelier earrings, while heart-shaped faces should choose wider-bottomed earrings. Oblong faces suit studs and button earrings, while square faces should avoid square earrings and opt for round hoops or drop styles. Oval faces can wear almost any style of earring.
Earrings can add the perfect accent to any look and the styles of earrings that exist today are practically endless. However, earrings can be categorized into a handful of basic types, and some types tend to look better on some face shapes than others. Thinking in terms of what your basic face shape is can help you find your most flattering earrings.
ROUND: Drop earrings can help make a round face appear less round. Long drops and chandeliers are usually the most flattering for this face shape. Larger angled earrings can also work well. Stud earrings, stud earrings, and stud or ball earrings should be avoided for the most part, as they tend to do nothing for a round face. Round hoops may not be the most flattering earrings for a round face shape, but longer open oval or angled designs can work.
HEART OR TRIANGULAR – Since this face shape is wider at the forehead and narrower at the chin, the most flattering earrings for this type are often wider at the bottom and narrower at the top. Inverted triangles and regular tears tend to complement the angles of a triangular or heart-shaped face. Round earrings generally don’t flatter this face shape, but oval earrings can work well.
OBLONG: Studs and button earrings tend to suit this long face shape as they lift the eye and don’t seem to drag the face down. Round hoops usually look good and chandelier can often complement this face shape too as they are wider dangling earrings. Multi-layered styles can be the most flattering long earrings for oblong face shapes.
SQUARE: This face shape tends to have a strong jawline and larger round hoops can be the most flattering earrings to complement the look of a square jaw. Square earrings of any size or style are generally not the best type for a square face. Drop earring styles generally work with this face shape.
OVAL: Since the oval is considered the most versatile face shape, almost any shape and style of earrings can be flattering. The thing to remember is to choose sizes that suit your build and experiment to find the most flattering earrings for you. Round hoops and studs may work better than long styles.
