Whether you’re hitting the town, going to work or just looking to add sparkle to your everyday outfit, earrings are that one accessory that can draw attention to your face and elevate your ensemble.
While earrings can highlight your facial features, they can also compete with your hairstyle and make or break your entire look. Therefore, it is crucial to pick the correct combination to ensure that your looks are chic and on point every single time.
Folks, grab a chair and sit down because today we’re going to spill the deets on how to choose earrings to match your hairstyle!
1. Long Hair and Stud Earrings
Girls with long tresses, we see you!
And a pair of studs will ensure that the whole world notices you too.
Long hair, when let down, looks simply beautiful and is a statement in itself. But it can be difficult to manage. For this reason, stud earrings work well as they contrast long hair perfectly without taking the attention away from your face or getting caught up in your locks.
And TBH, studs are those must-have classic earrings that’ll take you from desk to dinner in a jiffy. Sounds like the perfect excuse to add a new pair to your collection, no?
Pro tip: If you wish to draw even more attention to your face, we recommend opting for a pair of coloured gemstone studs.
2. Short Hair/Pixie Cut and Ear Cuffs
It’s true: Short-haired girls have the most fun, especially when it comes to earrings. You get to pull off super cool looks with ear cuffs.
Since a pixie cut will always have your ears on show, ear cuffs are a great option as they’ll strike the perfect balance between feminine and fierce, giving you quite the modern, edgy look.
Angara says: Try to pick ear cuffs embellished with diamonds; they’ll give you a classy eye-catching look without taking away from your outfit.
3. Ponytails and Hoops and Large Studs
Ponytails look so chic and are such a classic! No wonder they’re the go-to hairstyle for many.
The best and sure-fire way to choose your earring style is to match it with the height of your ponytail.
Hoops For A High Ponytail
Are you rocking an Ariana Grande-style high pony? Then hoops will be perfect for you!
A high ponytail adds oomph and puts your face on display. For such a hairdo, you want something equally dramatic without creating too much distraction, and this is just what a pair of large hoops will do.
Large Studs For A Low Ponytail
A low ponytail feels more relaxed and laid-back, unlike a high ponytail that gives off a boss lady vibe. Hence, you want to pick understated earrings that add a hint of glamor, like a pair of large studs. Subtle yet feminine, they will elevate even your most casual look. And let’s not forget, studs are the perfect earrings for every occasion.
4. Shoulder Length Hair and Drop Earrings
If you’re currently sporting a hairdo that’s not Rapunzel-long, but also not as short as a pixie, you’re probably looking for earrings to match your shoulder-length hairstyle.
Your hair cuts straight across the shoulders, creating the perfect boundary point for your earrings. So, you don’t want something as long as your hair but still want to make a stand-out style statement, right?
That’s where statement drop earrings fit in. They’re big, bold and ooze tons of glamor.
5. High/Chignon Buns and Danglers and Hoops
Love the bun? We do too!
The bun hairstyle is super popular for a reason. It’s a classy, sophisticated hairdo that infuses a touch of elegance into your everyday look. And pulling your hair back in a bun makes enough room for a pair of hoops or danglers to shine.
While a pair of hoops will make an effortless fashion statement, danglers embellished with coloured gemstones will offer a dressy and elegant look to your attire.
NOTE: Hoops are available in lots of sizes and styles. Therefore, when buying hoop earrings online, you want to pick a style that balances your hairstyle and face shape.

6. Curly Hair and Hoops
When your hair is 90% of your selfie, you need something simple and bold to accentuate your face.
What earrings will complement big drama, big movement hair? Either stud earrings that always look cute and subtle or hoop earrings that are ideal for making a fuss-free statement. We stress on ‘fuss-free’ as curly hair can often get caught in earrings and no one wants that! It is easier to detangle hair from hoop earrings than from chandelier earrings.
You can choose plain, textured or gemstone-detailed hoop earrings online from a trusted jeweller like Angara.
We hope this little guide on how to choose earrings to match your hairstyle worked for you and you will hopefully be able to nail your look with whatever hairstyle phase you’re in.
Does this make you curious about how to choose earrings for your face shape too? Let us tell you – It’s true that some earring styles flatter certain face shapes and accentuate them while some others can break your look. It’s all about balancing and choosing the right combination to put your best face forward when it comes to earrings, face shape and hairstyle.
