image
What it is: The length between your forehead to chin is equidistant to the length between your cheeks.
Avoid: Drop earrings that end at the jaw, as well as angular pieces. These will simply accentuate your masculine jawline.
Go for: Hoops of all sorts. Traditional gold-plated hoops are your best bet for a classy and simple look, or go for bright and bold pieces to add a splash of colour to your LBD. If you don’t want to give up on drop earrings, get something that’s short and does not fall at the level of your jawline.

image
Spice up your traditional hoops with earrings that come with silk scarf details. Go all out with this bold pair by wearing it with a scarf printed maxi dress.
3. Earrings, $14.95, from H&M
image
Love a set of pearl earrings, but can’t afford the real deal? Not only is this retro-style piece from H&M highly affordable, it will look stunning when worn with a simple t-shirt and denim jeans combo.
image
What it is: The circumference of your face is rounder with no visible harsh jawline.
Avoid: Hoops as it’ll simply make your face even rounder.
Go for: Square or oblong earrings to visually break the circular shape of your face. For drop earrings, opt for those that are super long (à la Hollywood style) as it’ll create the illusion of a longer face.

3. Earrings, $29.90, from Zara
image
The trapeze shape of these Zara earrings makes it more contemporary as opposed to traditional rectangular pieces. Match them with a blazer dress for mornings and a sequin party frock for a girl’s night out.
image
What it is: The length between your forehead to chin is longer than the length between your cheeks.
Avoid: Nothing. You’re blessed with a universally attractive face shape that can carry off any type of ear accessory.
Go for: A simple stud during working hours and something fancier, like a pair of statement earrings, for the night. If your features are slightly longer (aka long oval), go for a pair that’s wider to balance out the width of your face.
1. Earring, $308, from Tiffany
image
Go for a playful piece to showcase your fun and flirtatious side. We recommend you purchase the single studded “Oui” piece to create a quirky, mismatch look.
2. Earrings, $910, from Pernille Lauridsen at NET-A-PORTER
image
Don’t be mainstream with your ear adornments — sometimes, a show-stopping, statement piece is just what you need to turn your ensemble from zero to 100. Show off the intricacies of this pair by sweeping your hair back into a high ponytail. Finish the look off by wearing it with a white summer mini dress.
3. Earrings, $23, from Lovisa
image
A simple pair of rose gold floral studs is a highly versatile accessory. Pair these with a white shirt and a midi skirt for a boardroom meeting and a slinky slip dress when you’re hitting the bar.
image
What it is: Length between your temples is longer than the lower parts of your facial feature (i.e. inverted triangle).
Avoid: Inverted triangle earrings, or thin drop earrings as they do not have the substantial “weight” to balance out your top heavy facial shape.
Go for: Bottom heavy earrings that fall at or below your chin (think triangular shaped earrings). This will help to bring volume and weight to the lower half of your face.
1. Earring, $146, from Hillier Bartley
image

image

image
What it is: Length between your cheeks is relatively wide. The length from your forehead to nose is equidistant to the length from your nose to chin.
Avoid: Anything that’s chunky and wide will make your face appear longer horizontally.
Go for: Drop earrings that can end at any level. We recommend texturised pieces that add volume to the lower part of your face shape.
