The latest hottest thing, has to be the mismatch earrings trend, with it being embraced on the catwalks and the red carpet. One of the oldest rules in the fashion book is that elements of your outfit should match each other — the colour of your top should complement its bottom counterpart; your belt and shoes should never be in different colours and matching your shoes with your bag can give your look an instant fashion-approved polish too. So, when the mismatched earring trend came around, people who went by the rulebook did a double take.
Interesting and quirky in equal measure, mismatched earrings prove to be an easy way to add a talking point to your outfit — if done right, of course. Ahead, we've put together an easy-to-follow guide on how to ace this trend.
PLAY WITH LENGTHS
A smart and noticeable way of highlighting your mismatched earring is to wear a long earring (hoops, danglers, shoulder dusters — take your pick) on one ear, and a shorter one (like a simple stud) on the other.
