How to choose the ideal earrings for every occasion
If one thing is clear, it is that no outfit is complete without accessories. When dressing for an occasion, jewelry is just as important as clothing. And due to their position close to your face, earrings are probably the most important and impressive of all jewelry and accessories.
From dainty studs and huggies to bold hoops and drop earrings, there are infinite designs available in the world of earrings. Although all beautiful, not every earring style suits every occasion. Wearing the wrong kind of earrings can make you feel out of place, but with the right pair, you will be your confident self, enjoying the event to the fullest.
With the help of this article, you will learn to create the perfect look and pick the right pair of earrings every time, regardless of the nature of the occasion. Let's hop into the most common events and what earrings to wear for each.
Formal events:
Business meeting
When it comes to business meetings and jewelry, less is more, as you don't want your accessories or clothing to distract from your professionalism.
You can't go wrong by sticking to simple and classic designs that are small and neutral in color. Try silver studs, gold huggies, or dainty pearl earrings. If you have multiple piercings in one ear, keeping the look minimalistic with a single earring per ear is recommended for the most professional attire.
Simple and understated styles are your ally when attending a business meeting:
Mini Pearl Stud Earrings – €34.95 EUR
Silver Ball Of Wool Stud Earrings – €42.95 EUR
6mm Gold Huggie Hoop Earrings – €49.95 EUR
Classic Gold Crystal Flower Studs – €59.95 EUR
Job interview
A job interview is another business setting where you want all the attention to be on your professional skills.
In general, it is better to go easy on the jewelry to appear neat, professional, and reliable. Choose a pair of subdued classics like small hoop earrings or crystal studs that give you a put-together look without being too flashy at all.
Dainty, classic earrings will be the perfect accessory to a job interview:

Cocktail event
You can wear your prettiest, sparkliest, and flashiest earrings to a cocktail event as long as they go well with the rest of your outfit.
To balance your look, if you're wearing a bold or colorful dress, you may want to opt for a smaller, more neutral pair of earrings. On the other hand, if your dress is simple and unadorned, large statement earrings can add a pop of interest to your appearance.
These classic yet eye-catching designer earrings complement your cocktail event look:
Silver Waterdrop Pearl Studs – €42.95 EUR
Silver Snake Crystal Drop Earrings – €74.95 EUR
Gold Chunky Crystal Huggie Hoops – €134.95 EUR
Gold Herringbone Chain Earrings – €109.95 EUR
Red carpet event
Red carpet fashion is the opposite of bland and subdued. Your look should be noticed from afar, which calls for large, sparkling earrings.
If your dress is already glamorous and adorned with intricate details, you may want to keep your jewelry somewhat low-key to leave the stage for your dress. However, if your dress is on the simpler side, pairing it with attention-grabbing jewelry is the way to go.
Feeling insecure or anxious about the upcoming red carpet event? Remember that it's totally cool to stick with a pair of earrings that feel the most like you, even if it goes against traditional etiquette. After all, feeling confident and comfortable in your skin is your top priority, no matter the occasion.
These earrings lack no glamour or class:

Funeral
When it comes to attending a funeral, it's important to show respect and sensitivity. While there are no specific rules for what earrings to wear to a funeral, it's generally recommended to keep your jewelry modest and minimal.
Avoid wearing large or flashy earrings or bright or bold colors that could be seen as inappropriate or disrespectful.
When attending a funeral, you can't go wrong with simple earrings like these:

Tips for picking the perfect earrings every time
Even though our list of different events and their matching earrings is extensive, there are so many possible occasions it's impossible to fit them all into one article.
Therefore, here are a couple of simple tips that you can turn to when choosing your earrings for any event:
- Consider the vibe of the event: Think about what kind of event you're going to. Is it a fancy gala or a casual get-together with friends? Choosing earrings that match the overall vibe of the event will make you well-dressed for the occasion and help you feel more comfortable and confident.
- Coordinate with your outfit: It's essential to make sure your earrings complement what you wear. If you're sporting a loud or busy outfit, stick with simple, more understated earrings. On the other hand, if your outfit is more subdued, you can go for a bolder earring to add some flair.
- Take your face shape into account: The structure of your face plays a role in what earrings flatter you the most. We've written a great article on how to choose the perfect earrings for your face shape. If you don't know your face shape or which earrings compliment it, take a quick read!
- Think about your hair: Your hairstyle also affects which earrings will look best on you. Wearing your hair up accentuates the importance of earrings because your hair isn't there to frame your face. On the other hand, when wearing hair down, oversized, longer, and more intricate earrings may get lost in the hair. A good rule of thumb is to wear face-framing earrings like hoops, drops, and chandeliers when your hair is up and smaller styles like studs and huggies when your hair is down.
- Don't forget about comfort: Before deciding on your earrings, estimate the duration of the event. Larger and heavier pieces are fine for a short time. However, if your event lasts longer, you will wear your earrings for an extended period, so make sure they're comfortable. Prefer hypoallergenic earrings whenever possible to avoid skin irritation (p.s. all earrings featured in this article are 100% hypoallergenic). Stay away from earrings that are too heavy or pull on your ears, as that can be distracting and uncomfortable.
- Ensure your earrings are clean and neat: Like clothes, you want your earrings to look new and polished for the most attractive appearance, especially on fine and elegant occasions. Luckily, when you invest in quality pieces, buying a new pair of earrings for every occasion is unnecessary. Instead, make sure to clean your earrings once in a while and store your jewelry properly when they're not in use to keep them in their best shape.
- Stay true to your personal style: Ultimately, you should choose earrings that make you feel like yourself. Whether you prefer small, dainty earrings or big, bold statement pieces, make sure you're comfortable and confident in what you choose.
With these tips, you'll be able to pick the perfect pair of earrings for any occasion and feel like your most confident, stylish self wherever you go!
