Tips for Mixing and Matching Earrings
Your earrings don’t have to be an afterthought for your fashions. With the right planning, you can incorporate your earrings into your outfit and build a look that is going to be daring and creative. Earrings are more than just small accessories that can add a bit to your outfit. A good pair of 18k gold earrings could stand as a centrepiece for your outfit or help you make something that can create new themes for your outfits.
Earrings have an extensive history with sailors from generations past using them to protect them at sea to ancient cultures using them as symbols of beauty. If you want to truly change up your earrings and create a bold look for your fashions, you can start with mixing and matching. Do you have 18k gold earrings that you never wear? Consider mixing and matching with colours or a special piece to create something unique for your look.
Tips for mixing and matching:
Complimentary colours are a great way to start mixing and matching your earrings. If you have a set of earrings that match and you are planning on mixing and matching, you can think about styling and even mismatching the colour of an earring with something that is a little more classic. Try matching together an 18k earring design with a bright pop of colour or experiment with your styles so that you can create a specific vibe in your earring design. When you are wearing the right pieces of jewellery for your ears, you can have something that is going to be highly unique for your outfit.
Choose simple:
With any type of matching or mismatching earrings, it is better to try something simple. If you are going with two bold styles on different sides, it might make your entire outfit look cluttered. A simple 18k stud earring and an extravagant earring on the other side is likely the best way that you can match or mismatch.
Don’t worry about the metals or hardware:
Gold and silver together can create a striking contrast and there are many stores that are bringing together gold and silver looks with their fashions. Mixing and matching a striking 21k gold or 18k gold earring and a sterling silver earring can build a look that is very fashion-forward and quite subtle.
Hoop and stud:
Hoop and stud styles are a trend that has been popular since the 90s and when mixing and matching these styles it is usually best to try and go with a hoop that is not too large and stick to a minimalist stud style too. Going too big on either side can make the look seem disorganized.
Ear chains:
A longer-style earring that trails down the ear can be a wonderful way to mix and match. Elaborate ear chains when mixed with a stud or small hoop can build something special for your look.
