The fastest way to make a statement when accessorizing is with statement earrings.
They are often bold in style, color and texture and can bring out your very essence and taste.
But knowing how to wear statement earrings without looking overdone takes some finesse.
And in this blog, we’ll be sharing with you the exact steps to doing it right.
What Are Statement Earrings?
Statement earrings are bold, eye-catching pieces designed to be the focal point of your look.
They come in various styles, like oversized hoops, intricate chandelier designs, studs with bursts of colors, etc.
A statement earring makes a strong visual impact and express your personal style.
How to Style Statement Earrings
Basic Steps
- Keep your outfit simple when wearing bold earrings.
To avoid a clash, your statement earrings should be worn on simple outfits e.g. a plain t-shirt or sleek dress.
You want your earrings do the talking while everything else stays understated.
- Choose your hair wisely.
Updos and sleek ponytails show off statement earrings beautifully.
Side-swept styles work too.
You should avoid loose, voluminous hair.
They can cover your ears or get tangled with your statement earrings.
Styling Gold Statement Earrings
Gold statement earrings pair beautifully with warm tones.
Colors like camel, rust, cream, and olive green can complement well with your gold statement earrings.
You can style them with classic black and white outfits, formal dresses or casual jeans perfectly.
For daytime, choose smaller gold pieces.
And save the dramatic chandelier styles for evening events.

Styling Silver Statement Earrings
Silver statement earrings love cool tones.
You can create a stunning appearance when you combine them with navy, gray, emerald, and jewel tones.
Silver also pairs perfectly with black for a sleek, modern look.
If you want, you can mix silver statement earrings with other silver accessories.
But don't go overboard, your earrings should remain the star.

What to Wear with Statement Earrings
The rule is simple: less is more everywhere else.
- Skip the statement necklace when wearing bold earrings.
- Choose delicate chains or go bare-necked.
- Wear solid colors too. They work better than busy patterns.
Your earrings need space to shine without competing with prints or textures.
Can You Wear Statement Earrings with Statement Necklaces
The answer is no.
Don't wear statement earrings with statement necklaces.
Choose small studs or skip earrings entirely when your necklace is the star.
If you must wear both, make sure they're in the same metal and complementary styles.
But honestly, it's better to let one piece shine.
Are Statement Earrings in Style?
Absolutely.
Statement earrings are a timeless trend that comes and goes in waves.
Right now, geometric shapes, mixed metals, and asymmetrical designs are particularly popular.
How to Wear Statement Earrings for Special Occasions
For weddings and formal events, choose pieces that complement your outfit's neckline.
Strapless dresses pair beautifully with chandelier earrings.
You should also consider your hairstyle when planning formal looks.
Updos show off earrings completely, while side-swept styles create interest.
Next thing is to consider your face shape.
Longer earrings can elongate round faces, while wider styles can balance longer faces.
Finally, don't forget comfort.
Heavy earrings can become uncomfortable during long events.
Look for earrings made in lightweight materials.
