SCARVES AND EARRINGS: THE RIGHT BALANCE

Accessorizing carefully should always be the rule. When it comes to accessories less is usually more. First, a few well chosen pieces - such as bold scarves - are often enough to accent an outfit. Second, accessories are made to complement each other, not to compete: the more accessories, the more difficult it is to pair them. Third, piling up is a fun children's game... Let's keep it to children.

If you love statement scarves, you know that finding for instance the right earrings can be difficult. Both your scarf and your earrings are next to your face and both tend to naturally compete. That being said, it doesn't mean that earrings and a scarf is a big no. It's all about finding the right balance and creating a streamlined look.  

If, like us, you like wearing scarves and earrings, here are a few things to remember

- Because (crystal or diamond) studs, as well as simple pearl button earrings, are pretty neutral, they look good on all face shapes and they work with all scarf colors - from quiet to bold: a safe choice no matter what.

Crystal or diamond earrings: elegant with all scarves

You'll never go wrong with pearl buttons

- If you prefer colorful studs, make sure the color of your earrings matches at least one color of your scarf

Yellow harmony

- The two rules above apply to teeny tiny drop earrings.

- Dangling earrings are more noticeable than small studs or simple pearl buttons. If you decide to wear them, make sure they are in harmony with your scarf. Choose earrings which pick up in your scarf and / or blouse color. Playing up one color will make your outfit looked pulled together and elegant.

Pick up one color of your scarf or your top for your dangling earrings

- Very long dangling earrings are lovely. Yet, if you decide to wear a scarf + long and sophisticated dangling earrings, keep your look balanced: prefer a quiet and neutral top.

Long dangling earrings: better with neutral tops

- Hoops are timeless. They will never go out of fashion. We all love / loved them. They are synonym of a (controlled) free and breezy bohemian look. Perfect with a scarf tied as a narrow headband or as a cool ponytail band.
