Ever wonder what kind of earring will compliment your face the most?  I’ve compiled a quick guide on choosing your earring length and style based on the shape of your face:

Oval face: You can wear almost any earring style. Hoops are often the most flattering.

Round face: Choose longer earrings with oblong or straight styles. Earrings with sharp angles balance the curves of the face. Teardrops also flatter round faces.

Square face: Hoops, ovals and small earrings look best. Avoid wearing short and chunky earrings because they make the face appear wider.

Also keep in mind your overall body type: While larger earrings might look great on a taller person, they will not be as flattering on someone with a petite build.
