Earrings make any woman look more charming and attractive. There are appropriate types for every occasion and any woman.

Due to the fact they are close to the face, earrings must compliment one’s face shape. There are also several basic styles that can be worn from day to evening and are appropriate for a variety of clothing options and occasions.

How to choose earrings?

You should identify your face shape first to decide what style of earrings will compliment your face best. Consider what will enhance your good features. Take into consideration the cut and color of your hair, your skin tone, your body size and clothes you’re wearing.

Round Face Shape

If your face is round you better choose lean, long and angular curved lines. It will elongate and add a little angle to your face. You can wear drop earrings in dangles, ovals and oblongs. Square and rectangular earrings are also good options, as are angular earrings. But make sure that you avoid small studs and hoops and chunky large earrings as well.

Oval Face Shape

This is a classic shape that will work with almost any style of earring. You can always do some experiment with different styles and decide what looks good on your face. You can wear earrings with soft shapes like studs, ovals and teardrops. Spiraled dangly pair will look cute on you. Pearl, diamond, or gemstone studs can compliment this face shape if worn with a shorter hair style. However, avoid wearing incredibly long and thin shapes that will just pull you down.

Heart-Shaped Face

Look for earrings that are wider at the bottom – tear drops, chandeliers, triangle shapes that begin with a point. Even circular and oval earrings will work with your face shape, so long as they don’t taper as they descend. Pyramid style earring will also look pretty. Steer clear of earrings that are heart shaped very short earrings.

Square Face Shape

Earrings with a round and angular edge will work best because it will help in softening a square face. As long as you avoid harsh angles and square shapes, you can wear just about anything in the earring category. Hoops and curved edges will add the necessary roundness, and drop earrings, long tear drops, or multi-tiered dangling earrings will give a square shape some length.

Long or Thin Face Shape

You are advised to wear simple studs and chandelier style earrings. Three dimensional earrings will add fullness to your face. To widen this face shape wear circular, triangular (with the point up) and square earrings. However, remember to avoid flat or dangling earrings.

Diamond Face Shape

Wear short and wide earrings. A straight line and curves combination will work well for you. Besides, try studs and small drop earrings. Be sure to avoid long and thin earring style.

Triangular Face Shape

If you have a triangular face you need earrings that will soften the sharp angles. Large oval or small circular earrings will work well for you. Prefer earrings with curves at the bottom and avoid ones that come to a point.
Now you have some tips to help you. Go ahead and choose a nice pair!

It’s amazing how a small part of your garment can radically change the whole appearance. It can add you charm, make you look smarter and generally flatter you, or it can totally ruin the image you’ve been trying to create.

Neckline is an important thing to consider when trying to look your best on a date, at the office, or just walking your cute dog in the park.

Fortunately for all of us, there’re some simple rules we can follow when choosing flattering necklines. There’re just three main factors you should keep in mind: face shape, body type, and bust size.

What is important about choosing a flattering neckline is the concept of balance. When looking in the mirror you must see that everything is in proportion. Balance your features, that matters.

Face shape

The shape of your face is the first consideration for determining your ideal neckline.

  • If you have an oval and well proportioned face almost any neckline style is flattering to you.

  • If you have a long and narrow face try to choose wider and shallower neckline styles. This way you’ll be able to make your face appear wider thanks to drawing a horizontal line by the neckline.

  • On the contrary, if your face is wider and rounder pick a neckline with a stronger vertical shape to balance the look.
