Best Earrings for an Oval Face Shape
Most earring styles look good on an oval face, so let the outfit and occasion decide.
This guide is for the oval face shape: face length between 1.25 and 1.45 times the cheekbone width, with a jaw under 90% of the cheekbone width.
Try
- Studs, hoops and huggies in any size
- Drop and teardrop earrings that follow the length of the face
- Geometric and statement earrings, which look balanced against soft proportions
- Cluster and ear-cuff styles that add interest
Skip or adjust
- Very long, dangling earrings that add more length
- Big, heavy statement pieces that overpower the face
- Earrings that are so small they disappear against your hair
