Pairing Earrings with Your New Hairstyle

Three Tips for Pairing Earrings with Hairstyles


Nothing puts the wind in your sails quite like sporting a brand new look, and nothing takes the wind out quite like having that look go unnoticed. If you want your friends to be as excited about your new haircut as you are, you need to draw attention to it with the right accessories. While the right makeup and the right outfit can do wonders, nothing can draw attention faster than a pair of earrings that complement your new style. By following these three rules, you can find your hairstyle’s new best friend.

Tip #1 – Bold Earrings for Hair in Front of Your Ears

 



Do you have silky, straight hair that you drape over your shoulder, wavy tresses that you let go slightly untamed, or show-stealing curls? Large loops and long dangle earrings will share the stage with your lovely locks instead of getting lost in the crowd the way that small drop earrings will. As a general rule, any hairstyle that involves hair in front of your ears should be accompanied by earrings that easily stand out.

Tip #2 – Delicate Earrings for Short & High Styles

 



If your new look involves wrapping your hair in a stylish bun, pulling it back or otherwise keeping your hair behind your ears, then oversized earrings carry the risk of distracting from your hairstyle. Instead, studs and small drop earrings are a great way to draw eyes upward without them lingering on your jewelry more than your hair.

Tag #3 – Close Crops & Pixie Cuts are the Exception to the Rule

If you have gone all out with cool and cropped look or a daring pixie style, you do not have to worry about your jewelry outdoing your new haircut. Your earrings should match the boldness and playfulness of the new you. Large drops, sparkling crystal and artsy linear earrings can be part of your look without the risk of overpowering it.

Product Review: Lauren Pearl Jewelry

Lauren Faux Pearl Jewelry



The Lauren collection introduces a new line of faux pearl jewelry to Dabby Reid’s online store. These sets of glass pearl necklaces and matching earrings come in a variety of styles: a cream color that matches the brilliance of saltwater pearls, a hematite color that resembles freshwater pearls, and a bold gold color to brighten any wardrobe. These brilliant, but neutral accessories can add sophistication to your eveningwear year-round. Whether you enjoy gold pearls for the fall or iridescent white for the summer months, the Lauren collection is sure to be a conversation starter.



The Lauren pearl drop earrings feature elegant gold metalwork—an open, braided loop and a filigree bead—terminating in a delicate, irregular pearl drop. The accompanying necklace has irregular beads along the back and sides followed by a pair of filigree beads that introduce alternating braided loops and perfectly spherical faux pearls. Sport a new look at your next special event or turn an old little black dress into a new favorite with a touch of gold and glimmering pearls.
