Most women cannot do without and there is an increasing number of men who are into a bit of lobe love. But why talk in binary terms when anyone and everyone can benefit from a pair of studs, hoops or dangling earrings?
Every culture in the world has figured out earrings complement your face and overall look. For autumn-winter 2019-2020, we see the ear huggers back in full force in even bolder and more creative ways.

At Loewe, a long belt earrings with a square crystal buckle waved in the air as the model walked down the runway in a Puritan-meets-playful look.

At Prada, Miuccia also had a sense of whimsy and humour with a pair of floral drop dangles in a pretty pink and a yellow, resembling a sunflower. It was just the touch of colour an all-black outfit needed.

To match outfits with more electric, colourful vibes, Kenzo released a pair of long earrings in the shape of a thick paper clip. It had a futuristic, tech-driven aesthetic for the forward-thinking, progressive folk out there. We think it goes best with a neon polo neck.

Over at Saint Laurent, longer was better. But its look was more severe, with a pair of gold-toned, multichain earrings former model Betty Catroux would be happy to wear. She is, after all, the muse for this season’s collection of polished, sleek, grey and black looks.

The French house also revealed a pair of punkish, metal gun-coloured crystal studs, which covered up almost half the ear. This year, it’s go long, and apparently, go wide. Match it with a beret or skull cap to increase the intensity of your look.

If you’re looking for something more elegant, Dior has a pair of white bulbs with a cascading crystal tail; perfect for those of us seeking a high femme and pretty look. Think high tea at a luxury hotel.

Chanel featured glam, chic studs with a sunlike silhouette fashioned with a monogram core, enclosed in pearl and glass beads. It goes wonderfully with the herringbone prints and iconic Chanel chain pattern pieces we saw on the runway.

To highlight the neckline, Chanel showed a pair of pearl chandeliers with monogram clasp and teardrop. They are fit for a queen, who slays walking down the streets in an oversized wool coat and pleated trousers.

For more of a princess feel, Chanel also released a pair of heart-shaped, gold chandeliers, encrusted in pearls. These are more adorable than the chandeliers, and more approachable for everyday wear.

If pearls aren’t your thing, Isabel Marant knows how to be more down-to-earth with her collection of brass earrings that give off a sense of adventure and nomadic lifestyle. After all, the modern-day woman has places to explore and discover.

On her journey, she needs something that isn’t dainty but, rather, fierce and with a bit more edge. Featured this season were the “Birdy” earrings, which were – as you might have guessed – shaped like songbirds suspended by delicate chains to form a silhouette of a fan. They were finished with swishy leaf-shaped charms dangling at the ends.

Where Marant featured blades, Gucci offered shields. A big eye-catcher on the runway was the pair of hammered metal flaps covered in cabochon stones. The pressed metal covered the entire ear and resembled a cross between ancient Roman sculptures and Star Trek.
They were gorgeous and could go with almost any everyday look, such as a blazer paired with a simple pair of jeans. It’s very Gucci to come out with accessories that elevate the most casual of looks. They are clip-ons, too, and can be worn if you’re pierced or not.

The earrings shaped to look like actual ears with a cabochon stone on the lobe also covered the whole ear. It’s very meta and shows the playful and literal side of Alessandro Michele.
Well, that was an earful, but there you have it. The longer your earrings, the better. Or, if you’re looking for studs, make sure they are over-the-top and large.
