Step 1
Stay within your budget. It's awfully tempting to splurge on an awesome pair of earrings. But think carefully before you make your purchase. It's best to set a price limit before you begin shopping and stick to it no matter what.
-
Step 2
Select earrings that match your outfit instead of buying an outfit that matches some earrings you already own or want to buy.
-
Step 3
Think about the types of situations for which you'll wear the outfit and earrings in question. A no-nonsense business suit is best complemented by a classic pair of simple earrings. A fun, flirty outfit can support a flashier, more ornate pair of earrings.
-
Step 4
Consider the other accessories you plan to wear with the outfit, too. It's easy to go overboard with accessories. If you're also wearing a necklace and rings, choose small, simple earrings. If you'd like to wear large, dangly earrings you may need to remove some other accessories first.
-
Step 5
Purchase earrings that match or complement that color of your clothing. Neutral colors and metals are safe and usually go well with almost any color.
-
Step 6
Aim to buy earrings that complete your look instead of earrings that become the focus of your look. The first thing others notice shouldn't be your earrings; they should notice how great you look overall.
