How to Match Earrings With Your Style

How to Match Earrings With Your Style

Date Icon 25 September, 2025

At AAA Jewelers, our beautiful earrings and pendants are one of our largest sources of pride among all our jewelry products. Engagement rings and other jewelry often get more attention, but earrings are a wonderful complement to virtually any outfit, no matter how dressy or casual.

Once you’ve purchased some of our gorgeous earrings, though, your next step is matching them up to the rest of your fashion profile. Everything from your facial structure to colors on your outfit should be considered. What are some of the primary areas you need to be focused on for matching earrings, both before and after you purchase them?

Color

Matching color schemes is one of your primary goals, and this can be coordinated using everything from your outfit to your eye, hair or even skin color. Look for colors that complement each other and don’t clash. If you have lighter skin, look for silver or pearl earrings. Properly accentuating your best figures is a vital part of all elements of fashion, especially within the color realm, and earrings can go a long way to accomplishing this.

Occasion

Knowing your audience and your occasion is very important. In a professional business setting, glamorous diamond earrings likely aren’t appropriate – in a wedding setting, they obviously are. Gems and sparkling stones are great for dinners or formal events, and patterned or eccentric earrings are good for people in more casual settings looking to promote their individual style.

Facial Structure

The way your face is contoured can dictate much of your mixing and matching with earrings. Round faces tend to look great with long, dropping earrings, where people with longer faces can wear rounder earrings to contrast their features. Smaller earrings are great for people with more square faces.

Hair

Beyond just hair color, hair style also plays a role in your outfit and earring decisions. There’s no sense in wearing those beautiful diamond earrings if you’re wearing a hair style that will block most people from seeing them, for instance.

In addition, certain hairstyles lend themselves best to certain earring styles. Dropping earrings are great for elegant looks with long or braided hair, where short-haired women will also want to wear short earrings. Asymmetrical patterns in hair and earrings give off a welcoming feel to many people, and a classic bun behind pendant-style earrings promotes a classy image.
