Guide to Basic Stud Earrings & Simple Earrings for Daily Use

Choose earrings that are flattering on you:
- Based on your hair color – if you are a brunette avoid browns and darker warm colors, if you are blonde avoid whites, and if you are a redhead avoid reds or oranges. Any cute colors will work as long as they don’t blend in!
- Dependent on your skin tone – cooler skin tones look good in red, purple, and blue and warmer skin tones look good in yellow, orange, and green.
Top recommendations >> Faceted Tear Drop Earrings (Blue) for cooler skin tones and Lemon Drop Earrings for warmer skin tones. - Based on your face shape – if you have a long or oval-shaped face, try studs or shorter drop earrings. If you have a square or round face, pendant or drop earrings will help lengthen your face. If you have a heart-shaped face, statement earrings make a great pick. Hoop earrings compliment every face shape.
