14 DAY TRIAL // Out of all the trends that we see promoted on the catwalk, only a handful actually apply in real life too, as in, work for regular women as well. Of the lot, dangly earrings are the safest choice for a dash of glamor and timeless elegance, stylists tell us. Statement jewelry of this type not only knows no age limit, but is also guaranteed to look spectacular no matter what, as Samantha Murray Greenaway sums it up for the British publication the Daily Mail.
Whereas, for instance, red lipstick comes with certain limitations to look good, as also do other trends that are all the rage this season (leggings, teetering pumps, or bandage dresses), oversized earrings do not depend on wrinkles, children or body shape, experts are assuring us. The only thing that matters to look positively fabulous with a pair of sparkling chandelier earrings is “a good measure of confident maturity” and the simplest of hairdos.
Angelina Jolie knows this only too well. At this year’s Oscars ceremony, she chose to go with her trademark eyeliner, natural-looking lips and a black gown – but it was her dangly emerald earrings that made all the difference in the world, distinguishing her look as one of the few winners of the night. This is the power of a splash of color, as stylists say, that of turning what would otherwise be a plain outfit into a smash sensation. Chandelier earrings, even if they’re not the real deal (since not every woman can afford diamonds and pearls), can do this.
There is only one condition that has to be met with oversized earrings, though: saggy lobes are a no-no. “The only negatives I can think of when it comes to New Big Earrings, are Saggy Old Earlobes. […] Gravity, and years of Big Earring Abuse, has a grotesque effect on pierced ears. Whatever age you are, do yourself a favor: choose clip-ons.” as Mrs. Samantha Murray Greenaway explains for the aforementioned publication.
These being said, nothing should stop us from looking as glamorous as we want: 20-something or over 30, chandelier earrings are always a sure hit, experts have it.
