The Face Shape Rule (But Simplified!) Before even matching earrings to clothes, know what works for your face shape: ● Round Face: Go for danglers or long drops to elongate your look. ● Oval Face: Lucky you everything suits you, but try chunky studs or geometric styles to add width. ● Heart-Shaped Face: Choose teardrop earrings or small hoops to balance your jawline. ● Square Face: Round or curved earrings like hoops or chandelier drops soften your angles. Hack: Try earrings opposite in shape to your face for visual balance. ● 2. Pairing Earrings with Indian Outfits Whether you’re wearing a lehenga, saree, or kurta set, the right earring takes it from okay to OMG.

Pairing Earrings with Western Outfits Now comes the tricky but fun part earrings with jeans, shirts, blazers, or summer dresses. ● Turtleneck or High-Collar Tops → Go bold with hoops or geometric earrings. ● Spaghetti Tops & Off-Shoulders → Dangling earrings or drops add elegance. ● Blazers or Structured Outfits → Choose minimalist studs or sleek bars for a clean look. ● Summer Dresses or Co-ords → Colorful resin hoops or floral studs make it playful. ● 4. Color Matching Hacks No more guessing! Here’s how to match your earrings to your outfit’s color: ● Gold earrings look best with warm tones (reds, oranges, mustards, creams). ● Silver earrings suit cool tones (blues, greys, whites, blacks). ● Colored gemstones should pick up a color already in your outfit, or contrast smartly. ● 5.
