How to Wear Earrings



An easy way to spice up any outfit is to add the perfect pair of earrings. Whether you prefer fine quality gemstones or a costume pair, select something that suits your fancy and wear them everywhere.







Things You'll Need:





Mirror



Diamond studs



Gold hoops



Gemstone earrings



Dangling earrings



Pearl earrings



Hair clip



Scoop neck top









Step
1



Try on different earring styles to see what looks good with your hair and your face shape. Small studs can be great for everyday, while larger earrings can work for special occasions.




Step
2



Wear diamond or cubic zirconia studs with both casual and dressy clothes. Whether you have on a jogging suit or a gown, these can work well. Find a size big enough to show up against your hair, but not so large they are overpowering.




Step
3



Realize that small gold hoops can be a classic touch to pair with your work wardrobe. Opt for a larger size or go for silver or two-tone to add a little more stylish look.




Step
4



Experiment with colors and shapes in your earrings. Look for dangling styles, unusual materials and sparkling tones that will create your own signature style.




Step
5



Shop second-hand stores for vintage earrings. Try large costume pearls, gemstones and metal options to find choices that match your wardrobe and your lifestyle.




Step
6



Learn about the different ways earrings sit on your ears. You can buy clip-ons if you don't have pierced ears. For pierced choices, you can find studs, hoops, huggies (half-hoops that sit tight against your ear) and wire styles. You may feel some are more comfortable than others, so try different ones to see what you like.




Step
7



Clip your hair back or tuck it behind your ears to show off your favorite pair.







Tips & Warnings









Remember that even if you like to dress conservatively, your jewelry is a great way to take some easy risks, so wear bold earrings if you dare.








Understand that you don't have to spend a lot for a nice pair of earrings.








Look for surgical steel or 14 karat gold if you have sensitive ears.








Always clean your ear lobe and your earrings to sterilize them when changing them or putting on a new pair.








Avoid wearing very heavy dangling earrings for long amounts of time, as these can pull on your holes and damage them if you aren't careful.
