Ever tried on a pair of earrings and thought, “Something just feels off”? It’s not your imagination, different earring styles complement different face shapes! The good news? Once you know your shape, finding the perfect pair is easy. Whether you’re drawn to dainty studs, statement drops, or bold hoops, we’ll help you choose the most flattering style for you.
Let’s break it down 👇🏼
Round Face
You have: Soft angles, full cheeks, face width and length nearly the same.
Best earrings: Long drop earrings, angular styles, vertical shapes.
Why: These elongate your face and add definition.
Try:
💎 Elongated crystal drop earrings
💎 Geometric or edgy silhouettes
💎 Y-lariat styles for extra length
👉🏼 Avoid: Circular hoops or round studs; they can emphasize the fullness.
Oval Face
You have: Balanced proportions with a gently rounded chin and forehead.
Best earrings: Lucky you, almost anything works! Studs, drops, hoops; you name it.
Try:
💎 Classic studs for a clean, elegant vibe
💎 Bold hoops to show off your cheekbones
💎 Crystal drops to elongate even more
👉🏼 Pro tip: Mix it up! Your shape is the most versatile.
Square Face
You have: Strong jawline, broad forehead, and equal width throughout.
Best earrings: Round or curved styles to soften your features.
Try:
💎 Medium to large hoops
💎 Teardrop-shaped crystals
💎 Oval or circular drop earrings
👉🏼 Avoid: Harsh angles or overly geometric styles.
Heart-Shaped Face
You have: A wider forehead and cheekbones with a narrow, pointed chin.
Best earrings: Earrings that balance your face, think wider at the bottom.
Try:
💎 Teardrop earrings
💎 Bar or vertical studs (cross studs)
💎 Soft dangles that add volume near your jaw
👉🏼 Avoid: Large top-heavy styles that exaggerate the forehead.
Long or Rectangular Face
You have: A longer face with minimal width.
Best earrings: Styles that add width and drama to balance length.
Try:
💎 Wide hoops
💎 Cluster studs
💎 Short, chunky drops
👉🏼 Avoid: Long, vertical styles; they’ll elongate your face even more.
