Clip Earrings
Earrings are the jewellery equivalent of makeup. They draw attention to your face and add sparkle to your eyes even when you're dressed casually. Wear a pair of more dramatic shoulder-grazing earrings for evening, and you'll turn heads all night. Traditional post earrings can become uncomfortable after long wear, so it's a good idea to build up a wardrobe of clip-on earrings to give your ears a break. Clip earrings give you the versatility of dozens of styles with the comfort of clip-ons.
Because they have no posts, clip-ons can be big and bold without weighing heavily on delicate earlobes. The padded clip distributes the weight more evenly across the surface of your skin so you can wear bold hoop clip earrings and dazzling chandelier-style designs with ease. The hottest earring trends for evening take their inspiration from traditional Indian jewellery and from vintage styles. The faceted crystal, metal filigree, decorative glass beads and brilliant jewel tones that give stars their sparkle for red-carpet events look just as glamorous for an evening on the town.
The other major earring trend goes in just the opposite direction with demure styles. Thanks to new fittings, stud earrings are not just for piercings any more. Ladylike oval cabochon gems set in gold or silver look as delicate as post earrings, but offer the ease of a clip-on design. Pearl clip earrings are a traditional take on simple stud designs; their mellow gleam is especially flattering. Look for streamlined styles that use simple shapes and pastel hues to make the most of this eminently wearable trend.
Hoops never go out of style, and that goes for clip-ons as well. Smaller hoop clip earrings in silver or gold tones look especially appropriate for the office. Hoop earrings with clips are indistinguishable from post earrings for pierced ears, but these earrings slip off quickly when you're on the phone at work or home. Spring-loaded clasps and illusion facings on the front make clip-on hoop earrings a comfortable classic. Larger hoops have fresh appeal for fun, casual looks. Hollow construction keeps even the largest hoop earrings lightweight enough to wear all day.
New styles in clip earrings give you a perfect blend of style and practicality. Whether you wear clip-ons for comfort or convenience, you'll enjoy just as much high style as you would with any pair of posts.
