Dazzling Ways to Wear Dangler Earrings 

Updated: Dec 27, 2023


Glamorous dangler earrings offer dramatic flair elevating outfits and framing faces elegantly. Studded with dazzling gems, sculptural metals and gleaming drops, they lend eyes up stylish intrigue. But how best to showcase these substantial showpieces? Follow these six easy styling tricks that maximize the allure of dangler earrings:  


Go for the Perfect Pairing


When dressing specifically to accentuate your statement danglers, choose simple sleek clothing. Monochrome ensembles in muted solid colors effortlessly let ornate long earrings gleam as the central focus. Opt for cleanly tailored cuts rather than bold patterns or distracting embellishments.


Minimal neutral palettes refined with an interesting neckline, sleeve, hem or metallic sheen gives the perfect subtle foundation for danglers. Try classic little black dresses, crisp white button downs, tailored blazers. Keep jewelry to a minimum beyond the featured earrings.


Balance Proportions with Hairstyles  


Sweep that hair up to better showcase chandelier, plume and linear drop earrings. Chignons, French twists and sleek high ponytails with a center part elegantly frame the face while putting focus on long stem lines. So gather those short or long locks away from the cheeks and ears.  


Conversely, partially hide overly long or heavy danglers with loose effortless waves. Experiment with different hair lengths, texture and styles when wearing your assertive earrings. Find hairstyles that flatter your face shape to draw optimal focus towards your features.


Curate Contrasting Textures  


Beyond coordinating neutrals, inject depth by blending contrasting textures. Pair super sleek crepe, faux leather, silk satin or fluid jersey knits with the intricate beaded and jewel details of dangling accents.  


For instance, balance crystal chandelier drops against a matte jersey turtleneck sweater. Set swinging bezeled pearl drops amidst an opacity lent by velvet blazer. Chunky handcrafted clay earrings pop when juxtaposed against liquidy metallic skirts or trousers. Get tactile by mixing elements.


Flaunt Multiple Piercings  


Take the opportunity when wearing dramatic long and wide earrings to show off multiple ear piercings. Line additional piercing holes up, down the ears' front and back with tiny complementary studs or hoops


Or connect new piercing sites with slender chains across cartilage and rims. These supporting acts let boules, feathers and bold fringed tassels take main stage at the lobe level. Displaying assorted jewelry at secondary sites keeps them from competing with your scene-stealing headliners!  


Pick a Perfect Clothing Neckline  


Certain necklines and collars expertly showcase dangly earrings by leaving ears and neck area visually clean. Focus attention around your face with unfussy shallow scoop, sweetheart and square necklines. 


Jewel necks keep collarbones and Decolletage gorgeously bare as an ideal canvas for swinging ear baubles to shine. Off shoulder silhouettes lend another opportunity for unobstructed shine.


When wearing crewneck, mock necks, turtlenecks or high collars, add a sweeping updo to keep napes of necks clear. Keep things spatially simple and earrings take center stage.  


Play with Scale  


When selecting danglers, assess earring size and length against your facial proportions. Petite heart shapes and oval faces balance substantial volume best - try long chandeliers. Smaller button earrings better suit diminutive features, so stick with delicate dangling accents.  


Certain support pieces assist in handling the heaviest statement danglers. Clip on cushioned comfort pads that redistribute weight across the ear’s structure if lobes feel strained. Or connect a slender chain from earrings to upper ears to help bear loads. Add sparkling hair pins to flank temple sides for stability with mega long earrings. Who says more is always more appropriate to every presentation? Mind your scale.  


Gain Confidence and Shine  

Dangly statement earrings demand attention every time you swivel your head. Embrace their radiant magnetism as opportunities for spotlighting your personal charisma and sense of style. Showcase beloved museum-worthy baubles using these simple styling pointers for maximum appeal. Then go out and spark conversations wherever you appear wearing these beauties! Strike poses and shine on confidently.
