To get it right for both formal events and casual dates, the key is to combine them properly. The goal? To achieve a balanced look without stealing the spotlight from the earrings.
A type of long earring for every occasion
One strength of the most elegant people is knowing how to dress appropriately for each moment. The same goes for jewelry—it’s wise to consider the occasion to choose the most suitable earrings.

While long earrings with gemstones or intricate designs suit formal events, it’s best to opt for a more minimalist, understated style for the office—or boho pieces decorated with feathers or colored crystals for more relaxed moments.

The right neckline to highlight your earrings
Harmony between the neckline and long earrings is essential to achieve an effortless-chic look. Thin, straight, and discreet earrings pair well with high-neck garments, while V-necklines or off-the-shoulder pieces work with earrings of different lengths, colors, and shapes.

Hairstyle is key to make earrings stand out
Choosing the right hairstyle is essential, since it can either enhance the prominence of long earrings or push them into the background.

Updos are perfect for making earrings stand out, since both the earlobes and the neck are exposed and the jewelry is fully shown. If you prefer to wear your hair down, side-swept styles are the perfect excuse to take risks and pair a more striking long earring with another small, minimalist one.
Discreet accessories that don’t steal attention
The main goal of the rest of your accessories is to let long earrings take center stage. A plain ring or a delicately designed bracelet complements the look without overloading it.

When you choose earrings with personality in a single color—gold, for example—you can elevate them with a belt, clutch, or shoes in the same tone. However, if you opt for earrings in a striking color, it’s best to pair them with neutral garments.
Earrings and face in harmony
Face shape defines which long earrings are most flattering. Thus:
- Oval faces suit pieces of any length and style.
- Long, slender earrings are suitable for elongating a round face.
- Jewelry with curves, waves, or dangles softens square faces.
- Heart-shaped faces look more balanced with long earrings that widen at the end.
Pairing long earrings correctly not only helps you create a flawless look, it also helps you build a personal style where the jewelry shines on its own.
