They're big, they're bold, and they're hard to miss! They're called "statement earrings" - named so for a reason: They make a statement! From their bold designs to their dazzling colors, these are the earrings you wear when you want to get noticed!
On the other hand ....you do want to get noticed for all the right reasons! Unfortunately, if don't wear your statement earrings in quite the right way, well, your statement could end being "I'm fashion clueless" !
Well, we don't want that to happen! So we asked our designers to come up with a few guidelines for making the best possible fashion statement with your "statement earrings!"
How To Wear A Statement Earring
1. Keep other jewelry to a minimum. And we do mean minimum! If you wear a necklace, limit it to a thin chain with no more than a small pendant. You can add a couple of bangles and maybe a ring - but you want the earrings to do all the work - so don't distract the eye with other baubles!
2. Statement earrings look best with simple outfits - like that little black dress or pantsuit or even jeans and a tee. If your clothing is garnished with lots of sequins, sparkles or other embellishments there's just too much going on for a statement earring to take center stage.,
3. If your statement earring is in a color , then choose one other accessory in that same color - and no more than two. If your statement earrings are red, for example, you can choose a red bag and red shoes - or red shoes and red belt - but not all three. Again, you want to keep the focus on the earrings.
4. Statement earrings look best when there's not a lot competing for attention - so try to keep necklines lower than your collar bone. The other option is to wear them with a solid color turtleneck to act as a "frame" for the earring. Neutral colors such as black, white, cream, tan, plum or navy form the most attractive frame for most statement earring styles.
5. Put on your earrings before you put on your make-up. More so than any other style of jewelry,a statement earring is right next to your face, so it's almost like part of your cosmetic look. That means you probably want to skip the glittery eye shadow or blush and opt for a cleaner simpler look. Having your earrings on while you apply your make up will help you build a total look without overdoing it.
6. Scale down your other accessories. If you're wearing a statement earring, skip the "statement bag" or "statement belt". You only need one outstanding item per outfit - so let your earrings shine!
