How to Pick Earrings That Flatter Your Face Shape: The Ultimate Guide to Looking Fabulous
Ever put on a pair of earrings and thought, "Hmm, something feels off"? It might not be your outfit—it could be your face shape! Just like how certain hairstyles make your features pop, the right earrings can elevate your look from "meh" to "magnificent." Whether you're rocking a heart-shaped face or a strong square jawline, we've got the ultimate cheat sheet to help you pick earrings that flatter your face shape. And trust us, your future selfies will thank you.
First things first: let's figure out your face shape. Stand in front of a mirror, pull your hair back, and trace the outline of your face with a lipstick or washable marker (no judgment here). Compare it to the shapes below, and voilà—you're ready to shop like a pro.
Round Face: Go Long or Angular
If your face is as round as a full moon (lucky you!), the goal is to add some length and definition. Drop earrings or elongated hoops are your best friends. Avoid small studs or chunky hoops—they'll only emphasize the roundness. Instead, try a pair of Roberto Coin diamond dangles or sleek geometric designs to create the illusion of a more oval shape.
Oval Face: The Jewelry Playground
Oval-faced folks, you've hit the genetic jackpot—nearly every earring style works for you! From stud earrings to cluster designs, the world is your oyster. Experiment with bold shapes like cocktail-style earrings or delicate huggies. Our Charles Krypell collection has some stunning options that'll make your face shine even brighter.
Square Face: Soften Those Angles
Strong jawlines are gorgeous, but if you want to soften your angles, opt for earrings with curves. Hoops, teardrop earrings, or even pearl studs will balance your features beautifully. Avoid sharp, geometric designs—they'll only amplify the squareness. Check out Gumuchian's elegant pieces for inspiration.
Heart-Shaped Face: Balance the Chin
If your face is wider at the forehead and tapers to a delicate chin, you're a heart-shaped beauty. The key is to draw attention upward with earrings that widen at the bottom. Think chandeliers or leaf-shaped designs. Avoid top-heavy styles that'll make your chin look narrower. Our Roman & Jules collection has some gorgeous options that'll flatter your face perfectly.
Diamond Face: Highlight Those Cheekbones
With high cheekbones and a narrow forehead and chin, diamond-shaped faces can pull off almost any earring—as long as they're not too wide. Studs, huggies, or short drops work wonders. If you want to go bold, try a pair of Roberto Coin diamond climbers—they'll accentuate your cheekbones without overwhelming your face.
Rectangle Face: Add Some Width
Long faces need earrings that create the illusion of width. Chunky hoops, cluster earrings, or even cuff-style earrings will do the trick. Avoid long, dangling styles—they'll only make your face appear longer. Browse our EFFY collection for some show-stopping wide designs.
Pro Tip: Don't Forget Your Haircut!
Your hairstyle plays a role too! If you have a pixie cut, bold earrings like statement studs will shine. Long hair? Try drop earrings that peek through your locks. And if you're a bun lover, hoops are your go-to.
