How to Choose Earrings for Your Face Shape

Jewellery that has lost its shine or is damaged does not have to immediately end up at the bottom of the drawer.

Earrings are one of the most important pieces of jewelry that can emphasize beauty and add character to any styling. Choosing the right earrings largely depends on the shape of your face. Check out how to choose earrings for different face shapes.

SQUARE FACE

A square face is characterized by a pronounced jawline. To soften these angles, choose earrings with rounded shapes, such as round or oval earrings. Drop or arch earrings can also help soften the angular lines of the face.

Recommended for square faces:

ROUND FACE

If you have a round face, your goal is to visually elongate its shape. Choose earrings that are longer than they are wide, such as drop earrings, long studs, or teardrop earrings. Avoid large round earrings, which can further emphasize the roundness of your face.

Recommended for round faces:

OVAL FACE

The oval face is considered the most universal shape and almost all types of earrings will suit it. You can experiment with different shapes and lengths, from short hoop earrings to long dangling models. Earrings that emphasize your individual features and style will be the perfect choice.


Recommended for oval faces:

HEART-SHAPED FACE

A heart-shaped face has a wide forehead and narrow chin. To balance the proportions, choose earrings that add volume to the jawline. Drop earrings, dangle earrings, or earrings with wide elements at the bottom can help balance a wide forehead and narrow chin. Avoid large, wide earrings at the top, which can deepen the effect of a wide forehead.

Recommended for heart-shaped face:

RECTANGULAR FACE

A rectangular face is longer than it is wide and has prominent cheekbones. Choose earrings that add volume to the sides, such as round or wide earrings. Earrings with wide elements or fan-shaped elements will help visually shorten the length of the face and add balance.

Recommended for rectangular faces:

SELECTING EARRINGS TO MATCH YOUR HAIRSTYLE

Don't forget to consider your hairstyle when choosing earrings. If you have short hair, you can opt for more statement earrings. Long hair may require more subtle or dangling earrings that won't get tangled.
