Choosing the Right Size
Big chunky, chandelier earrings can be a lot of fun. But they may not always suit the attire and turn out to be a huge distraction.
For instance, when you’re in corporate attire, big bold earrings may not be the best thing to wear. It can draw unnecessary attention especially during meetings, seminars and interviews, where the focus ought to be on what you’re saying than on what you’re wearing. The last thing you want the person sitting in front of you is to be staring at your flashy earrings, rather than paying talking to you.
One simple basic rule you can follow while choosing the size of earrings is to make sure they are smaller than (or the same size) as your eye socket. Small elegant earrings add sophistication even when enhancing your style.
Choosing the Right Length
As with size, length also matters a great deal in enhancing your features and balancing the look. In some cases, it is perfectly ok to wear a pair of long earrings. However, in more conservative environments long earrings can be distracting and inappropriate.
Simple Trick to Ensure That Your Earrings Aren’t Too Long or Too Short
Using your index finger, find the base of your ear where your jawline ends. Now trace your finger down the jaw bone until you feel its angle. This point is the perfect length of earrings for you. Anything longer may distract people from your face.
Watch Out if You Have a Short Neck!
People with short necks have less space between their ears and shoulders. So wearing long chandelier earrings can look awkward and make necks appear even shorter than they already are.
So the best bet is to choose earrings of a modest length. By creating more physical space between the ears and shoulders you will create the illusion of a longer neck.
