We have all been in that situation: looking at our jewellery box, trying to decide between two pairs of earrings, and having trouble with our hair. Do you style your hair or choose the earrings first? Should you wear your hair down to allow them to peek through or up to flaunt them?
Although it seems straightforward, this everyday dilemma can spiral into a tiring cycle of "change-hair-change-earrings-repeat." This guide is here to save your mornings and nights, so don't worry. By the end, you'll understand how to accessorise any hairstyle with earrings so that your appearance is polished, carefree, and distinctly you.
The Endless Loop of Earrings vs. Hairstyles
Not only is it indecision, but it's a little daily struggle. You're collapsing over statement hoops with a sleek updo one minute, and then you're second-guessing your choice and switching out your delicate studs as though they're the secret to the success of your ensemble.
Your perfectly styled look begins to fall apart when your hair ties are loose and your hairpins are out. Does that sound familiar? The good news is that you no longer have to battle this, which is the true conflict that lies behind the "hair up or hair down" argument. This guide will help you to coordinate your hair and earrings so that your selections feel deliberate, fashionable, and stress-free.
Why Hairstyle Changes Everything
There is always more to your hairstyle than just your attire. Your earrings are the main attraction, and they act like a stage curtain that covers the climax of the show(your outfit). When you pull the curtain back (hair up), your earrings will be the main attraction. Your earrings become more of a subtle supporting act when you leave the curtain closed (hair down).
In other words, your face is framed by your hair, and the choice of earrings can either beautifully highlight that frame or completely overpower it. Once you understand the art of making your hairstyle and your earrings, each other's besties, you will basically unlock a superpower that will make you all attractive.
