Minimalism has no home in fall/winter jewelry trends this year. As we finish out 2023, the jewelry has never been more daring, and the styles are not for the faint of heart.
An ear cuff is an easy way to try out the trends without being fully committed. You can style your lovely lobes without adding an extra piercing, and even create a maximalist look with your simple studs if you aren’t a fan of oversized or dangling earrings.
Cuffing Season
You may be wondering what ear cuffs are and how they work. These versatile pieces are worn on the cartilage of your ear and give the appearance of a helix or snug piercing. Plus, you can wear them with or without a traditional piercing. You choose which ear you prefer for your cuff – it can be a matter of which you think looks better or simply which one seems more comfortable.
Not only can you choose a basic hoop or huggie style, you can also maximize your bold look with a larger cuff. Another option is to stack various sizes around your ear for a unique look.
Now that you know how to wear them, what will your cuff of choice be for this big and bold trend?
- Any form of a basic hoop style is the perfect way to dip your toe in the water of this adventurous accessory. You can get multiple ones to stack and combine up your ear.
- A long cuff that climbs up your ear for a distinct statement.
- A chain cuff that attaches to a pierced earring offers an eye-catching twist on the trend.
- A thicker cuff to bring more attention to your accessory game – either in a solid metal or something that has intricate details to elevate your look.
No matter what type of cuff you decide to start with, play around with the look and find the right amount of boldness for your own personal style. You can add a small dainty piece that gives you just an extra amount of edginess or you can make a big statement with a sparkling climbing cuff that will have heads turning no matter where you go!
