Make it work for work: Statement earrings
Accessorizing may be the last thing on your mind when your alarm clock rings, but a pair of gorgeous earrings (or a single one) can negate bad hair days, elevate modest outfits and navigate the boardroom-to-bar dress code more easily than any other piece. Here’s the lobe lowdown…
Modern pearls
For the perfect mix of old and new, Alighieri’s organic baroque pearls are guaranteed to elevate modern tailoring, as will Attico’s architectural shapes and Mizuki’s lustrous Tahitian and freshwater pearls. We also love Meadowlark’s pearl earrings – the husband and wife team behind the brand, Claire Hammon and Greg Fromont, describe their jewelry as “tiny artworks” that are meant to be cherished forever. Wear them with a printed dress for a luxurious take on classic hoops.
Everyday diamonds
Yes, it’s a decadent move, but with modern designers such as Messika and Melissa Kaye giving traditional diamonds a cool-girl edge, wearing precious stones can be a part of your day-to-day look. Add a touch of sparkle to your 9-to-5 with Messika’s dazzling hoops.
Sculptural
Adding color into the mix are Ellery and Marni’s cool resin earrings. Inspired by modern art, they inject a playful edge into even the most pared-back outfit. If you prefer traditional silver and gold tones, opt for a pair of Balenciaga alumna Charlotte Chesnais’ curvilinear designs, beloved by actresses Nicole Kidman and Léa Seydoux.
