Best Earrings for a Round Face Shape
Long, narrow earrings add a vertical line that lengthens the face.
This guide is for the round face shape: face length no more than 1.25 times the cheekbone width, with a soft jaw (under 90% of the cheekbone width).
Try
- Long drop, linear and dangling earrings
- Triangular and angular studs
- Narrow hoops that are longer than they are wide
- Chandelier styles that hang below the jaw
Skip or adjust
- Big, round hoops and button earrings that repeat the shape of the face
- Studs and small earrings that add no length
- Chunky styles that sit at the widest part of the face
