Best Earrings
Since that magical day when Mom and Dad finally gave us permission to get our ears pieced, our fascination and affection for earrings has only grown. Well-chosen earrings can have great power – they can instantly transform a casual ensemble into a fancy one, they accentuate your eyes and they’re down-right fun to wear. We’ve chosen the best of everything from stylish studs to danglers that’ll hypnotize in our earrings guide.
No one knows better than celebs that accessories are half the outfit, so take a look at our guides for the best celebrity jewelry, scarves and sunglasses.

Dangling

| Free People Gem Flower Drop Earrings $68 The base metal with colored beads look is one of our favorite new jewelry trends; our pick is this Free People pair for its eye-catching, bright turquoise gems. |
Giles and Brother Chain Earrings $75 Everyone needs a go-to pair of long, glitzy gold earrings. These super-long chains have an antique feel that’s a little less standard, but still does the trick. |
Fallon Spear Dangler Earrings $165 Edgy and sophisticated, with a bit of girly color, these spear danglers are undeniably cool. Be careful where you fling your lobes though, these could hurt someone! |
Studs
Classic and refined, you can’t go wrong with fashionable studs – and they don’t always have to be conservative.

| Feather Half Hoop Earrings $24 We’re mad about these playful earrings, which feature 80s-esque rhinestones and an awfully endearing flower shape. |
Kevin Jay Lane Basketweave Earrings $36 With a unique shape, these sophisticated gold post stunners are not your average shiny baubles; however, you can still wear them with anything and everything. |
Pippa Small Collette Opal Earrings $530 Refined but off the beaten track in terms of expensive stones, opal (here with yellow gold) is neat, chic, and matches most clothing. Plus, if you were born in late September/early October this is your birthstone – and one that doesn’t usually get a lot of playtime. |
Hoops
Ever-trendy hoops can be worn big for a party-girl look or smaller for a dainty and effeminate feel.

| Nordstrom Thick Hoop Earrings $32 We suggest you make these wild-child large hoops elegant by sweeping back your hair and showing off your neck and shoulders. |
House of Harlow Leather and Pave Earrings $80 Nicole Richie may have finally found her calling – we more than approve of her jewelry line, which features pieces inspired by 1960s and 70s bohemian-chic. |
Kara by Kara Ross Large Hoop Bezel Earrings $135 Kara Ross does a crafty take on the traditional hoop with these cool, asymmetrical earrings with hematite stones as studs. |
