Ah, the statement earring. From bubbles to tassels, the earring has made a huge comeback, and when we say huge, we mean HUGE. Gone are the dainty studs and delicate drop earrings, the earring has had a major reinvention and we're here for it.
Earrings usually function as your finishing touch to a look, they were never really the main focus of your outfit, hence the usually classic options like pearl or diamond studs, or drop earrings that casually draw the eye but never really held one's attention. But now, earrings have become the focal point of one's outfit and honestly, it's way too much fun of a trend to pass up.
Statement earrings are fun, quirky, loud, and bold, and they add just the right amount of pop and punch to your look. These J.Crew tortoiseshell and floral bead mix is a fun mix of classic meets girly, and on Jenny Walton, they look absolutely darling. Pairing the earrings with a plain top makes the earrings stand out, and pulling your hair back makes them the star.
Even luxury houses like Chanel have gotten in on the statement earring trend, seen here on Chiara Ferragni, who is sporting the iconic double C's in a size that's larger than life.
The statement earring makes use of different materials, from knit earrings, woven bubbles, plastic fruits and flowers, basically anything under the sun. You can go for a more classic look like pearl bubbles, or go the funky route by sporting fruit themed earrings, with statement earrings, the sky's the limit.
A fun and funky colourful pair adds a pop of colour to an otherwise monochrome or neutral outfit, and a metal pair adds a little bit of edge to an otherwise easy look. They're conversation starters and icebreakers, and they give one an excuse to pull your hair up and let your ears do the talking. They can be matched to your lipstick or to your skirt, they're fun when they start swinging round, and honestly, it's fun to just sport a pair of earrings that make you smile.
So go, don't be afraid to pick out the craziest pair of earrings that you can find and team it with that vintage tweed blazer or just your everyday t-shirt and jeans, go glam or go funky, the world is your oyster. Statement earrings are just about one of the best trends to hit the streets and they're definitely a must-have for every stylish gal. They're officially Gal Gear approved and we're obsessed with them!
