Wear Drop earrings for work outfit

All work and no play makes Jill and her outfit a dull woman. Despite her busy schedule, Jill still wants to make sure she looks elegant but remains professional in her attire. The trick that Jill needs to master is not going to over the top with the earring she chooses. A tricky, but not impossible feat with the already larger earring. 

The solution is simpler than Jill might think. The beauty about drop earrings is that they are not a ‘one size fit all’ and by finding the work appropriate size, Jill can take her work outfit from drab to professional fab. 

Despite wanting to one-up your outfit, the venue (place of work) must always be considered. Jill doesn’t want to be in a meeting but has clients being distracted because her drop earrings are too distracting. On the flip side, her drop earrings can be the statement piece of her outfit if she chooses correctly. A solid coloured business power suit could benefit from a colourful drop earring that adds life the suit.

 

 

Speaking of colourful dangle earrings

Why is wearing a colourful drop earring that matches your outfit ostentatious? When we rock our seasonal outfits, we want to be seen, we want to look good and we want all of the compliments because they are deserved. In the same way that we match our bags to our outfits or our shoes, why is it so befuddling to match our earrings to our outfits?  Trust us, your invigorated style will thank you for it.

Feminine chic silver drop earrings

Paris is still considered the fashion capital of the world and it’s no secret that their women are known for their relaxed, feminine chic styled outfit. So much so that there is a category in fashion called ‘Parisian style.’ A quick search on Pinterest would yield results of the women in pleated skirts, a simple top and what else but a drop earring to complete the outfit.

Coincidentally, this is a trendy look going into summer and we already see many A-listers and beauty bloggers and influencers rocking this look. It pairs beautifully with a pair of gorgeous flats or loafers and of course adorable heels.

We have already fallen in love with this trendy style and have a personal bias for the sheer or layered tulle skirt look paired with a blazer or simple top and finished with a pair of dangly earrings.

Street Fashion does not mean ‘dress down’
