Every woman knows the struggle of finding the perfect pair of earrings to go with their new work outfit. Worry no more – we’ve got the fashion tips that will take the guesswork out of picking the right earrings for the workplace.


Long earrings aren’t just distracting to the woman wearing them and the people around her, they are also more likely to get caught on things and cause a workplace injury. Some drop in your earrings is ok, but leave the jangly, dangly ones for a night on the town.


• If you have a round face, studs and long, thin shapes can accentuate problem areas, but you’re more likely to get away with larger earrings. • Women with heart-shaped faces should wear teardrop earrings for balance. • If your face is more square, avoid square earrings. Go with small hoops and short drop earrings. • Round earrings can soften a triangular face.


Many women only pay attention to how their earrings match their clothing, and forget to check that they should match the color of their skin, as well. Gemstones in particular are a great way to accentuate your natural color.


Gold earrings are versatile, durable, and go with just about everything. If you’re having trouble choosing what seems appropriate for work, there are very few situations where a nice pair of gold earrings are the wrong way to go.


If you’re heading to a formal work event, a set of sparkly diamond earrings are sure to impress. But if you’re spending the day in the office meeting with clients, they’re likely to distract. Make sure the ornateness of your earrings matches the environment.


If you spend a lot of your workday talking on the phone, then you’ve probably had earrings get in the way of holding the receiver to your ear. One way to avoid this is to wear flat earrings that won’t get caught or scratch against the phone.


Classic earring designs have stuck around for a reason: they look good and they work in just about every setting. Rather than going for something trendy or attentiongrabbing, stick with the basics for a more reliable selection you can feel confident wearing in any situation.
