I'm one of those who never thought twice about pairing them, and depending on the outfit I'll have on a necklace or pendant as well. I'm petite but wear what I call "medium" earrings--99% of them are drops of all sorts or hoops, and in all kinds of colors. (I'm considering adding some blush pink ones right now...) Even these don't always show up in outfit pix so I was thinking of posting a selection on its own just for fun. As for hair, mine is medium-to-dark blonde and was recently very long but now is about shoulder length; however, my haircut has almost never affected my earring game.</p> <p>The comfort zone here might depend on the specs maybe as has been suggested? My main pairs are simple, clean-lined, and not very "heavy" as my small face can't handle very big or heavy-framed specs, and they are in neutral colors that aren't bright or super dark/high contrast. Maybe that's one reason I don't feel they compete. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pairing-glasses-with-dangly-earrings#post-1850883 Thu, 05 Oct 2017 13:19:16 +0000 lyn67 1850883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I loved <b>kwood</b>'s pictie! <br />But, for myself, I always found it tricky and me too&nbsp;"I'm a little embarrassed to admit how much I ponder this" &nbsp;and actually-as per Suz said- never gone with both of them, just one or the other (specs OR big/dangling earrings)- thus I wear studs all the time.

You'd better just wear 'em, or I'm going to have to start pondering whether I can wear mine... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pairing-glasses-with-dangly-earrings#post-1850787 Thu, 05 Oct 2017 01:51:26 +0000 kwood 1850787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It felt like too much when I first started wearing bolder glasses, but I do it all the time now. I am a huge proponent of statement glasses, because they aren't going unnoticed no matter what, so better make em amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pairing-glasses-with-dangly-earrings#post-1819926 Fri, 30 Jun 2017 19:38:09 +0000 JuniperGreen 1819926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hooray for glasses and earrings! &nbsp;Thanks for all your kind comments!</p> <p>Please share your own specs + bling photos, I want to see others' favorite combos! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pairing-glasses-with-dangly-earrings#post-1819652 Thu, 29 Jun 2017 19:33:26 +0000 kerlyn 1819652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had the same issue in the past when I wore glasses frequently. &nbsp;But you look really pretty. &nbsp;Like Rachylou said, I think these earrings work particularly well because they're delicate and blend into your hair a bit. &nbsp;But I also think you could certainly go bolder with the earrings and still look great. &nbsp;After LisaP mentioned Bobbi Brown's penchant for wearing bold earrings and glasses together, I had to go look up some photos of her. &nbsp;She does it so well. &nbsp;I think you could totally pull it off too!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pairing-glasses-with-dangly-earrings#post-1819581 Thu, 29 Jun 2017 11:32:54 +0000 mugs 1819581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are so cute! &nbsp;And those earrings totally work on you. :o) &nbsp;I have large glasses too and find that stud earrings look better with them. &nbsp;It's a cleaner look, especially with business clothing, so I know where you are coming from when you ask. &nbsp;Based on everyone's comments, maybe I will play with longer earrings with my glasses. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pairing-glasses-with-dangly-earrings#post-1819341 Wed, 28 Jun 2017 13:41:22 +0000 Amy Isabella 1819341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your earrings and glasses look FAB. I have long hair and wear dangly earrings with my sunglasses/glasses frequently: as my hair is dark, I find that anything too small tends to "get lost". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pairing-glasses-with-dangly-earrings#post-1819323 Wed, 28 Jun 2017 12:09:15 +0000 Suz 1819323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First off, you are so pretty!&nbsp;</p> <p>Second, when I wore specs all the time, I had this same difficulty. It's not a difficulty for everyone, mind you. If a person's style veers to maximal, they won't mind it at all. It also depends on head and face shape and height and overall scale. For myself, I found it tricky -- one or the other (specs OR earrings) already seemed like quite a lot on my petite frame.&nbsp;</p> <p>But I think you have mastered some tricks that make it work. I didn't have long hair, which meant I couldn't make earrings blend with hair, so my own strategy was to use them to balance some element in the outfit (be it colour or shine or what have you.) If I wear dangling earrings I rarely wear necklaces. Again -- personal preference.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pairing-glasses-with-dangly-earrings#post-1819300 Wed, 28 Jun 2017 11:03:09 +0000 bridgie 1819300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks good on you.&nbsp; Keep on wearing earrings with your glasses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pairing-glasses-with-dangly-earrings#post-1819294 Wed, 28 Jun 2017 10:57:37 +0000 Inge 1819294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another YES vote from me!!-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pairing-glasses-with-dangly-earrings#post-1819279 Wed, 28 Jun 2017 10:39:51 +0000 Style Fan 1819279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look gorgeous with the earrings and glasses.&nbsp; I love how the earrings blend in with your hair.&nbsp; Pretty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pairing-glasses-with-dangly-earrings#post-1819273 Wed, 28 Jun 2017 10:27:27 +0000 Jenni NZ 1819273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear glasses and earrings every day. On Monday I forgot the earrings and wanted to turn around and drive home! But I sucked it up. It's because I don't feel dressed without something in the holes.<br /> You look gorgeous in these pics. Other Fabbers have said dangly earrings are better with long hair but I like them with my short pixie, they show against my bare neck. I don't feel they compete with the specs. I don't wear scarves though and not that many necklaces either. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pairing-glasses-with-dangly-earrings#post-1819254 Wed, 28 Jun 2017 09:07:14 +0000 Ledonna N. 1819254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always wear big glasses with big dangling earrings. I have an afro so my hair is always up. I love the look and the dangly earrings. I like your earrings. I think you would look jyst as good with your hair up it just depends on what you are comfortable with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pairing-glasses-with-dangly-earrings#post-1819253 Wed, 28 Jun 2017 08:29:52 +0000 Bijou 1819253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks so lovely. I have some Tiffany glasses frames that are black on the front but light blue on the inside. I find my earrings that have a similar colour blue co-ordinate nicely with my glasses. A light contrast and not competing. I like your guidelines, they would work well for me too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pairing-glasses-with-dangly-earrings#post-1819242 Wed, 28 Jun 2017 07:38:52 +0000 Mirjana 1819242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely , you are shining. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pairing-glasses-with-dangly-earrings#post-1819241 Wed, 28 Jun 2017 07:25:36 +0000 Sal 1819241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I struggle with this myself, both with reading glasses and with sunglasses. &nbsp;I think it sometimes can feel more cluttered than it actually looks.</p> <p>In your case I think you look great!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pairing-glasses-with-dangly-earrings#post-1819226 Wed, 28 Jun 2017 03:00:12 +0000 Jaime 1819226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look awfully pretty with the earrings AND the glasses. I think this is a very individual, look in the mirror and decide situation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pairing-glasses-with-dangly-earrings#post-1819220 Wed, 28 Jun 2017 02:13:59 +0000 rachylou 1819220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look lovely. I ponder this too. I think this works so well because the earrings are delicate against the clean but heavier frame of the glasses. But for instance, I'm bothered by blingy glasses and big button earrings. This is *too* 80s for my tastes, although I feel Sophia Loren could do it successfully. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pairing-glasses-with-dangly-earrings#post-1819214 Wed, 28 Jun 2017 01:12:45 +0000 Zaeobi 1819214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it depends on the glasses themselves - I'd say yours don't compete too much with the earrings because your glasses still show a lot of your face. But I also think they'd look lovely with your hair up too. That might looks more secretary or edgy though, depending on the combination. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pairing-glasses-with-dangly-earrings#post-1819213 Wed, 28 Jun 2017 01:11:57 +0000 Angie 1819213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You can, and do so with panache, JG.

I only wear reading glasses so I don't think about how they work with jewely but I probably would if I wore them consistently....will have to leave that to the glasses wearing fabbers! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pairing-glasses-with-dangly-earrings#post-1819146 Tue, 27 Jun 2017 20:52:48 +0000 Anonymous 1819146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Emphatic YES. &nbsp;You look fabulous. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pairing-glasses-with-dangly-earrings#post-1819145 Tue, 27 Jun 2017 20:50:58 +0000 JuniperGreen 1819145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie's post on accessories brought to mind a question I ask every time I open my jewelry cabinet: can I wear dangly earrings with my glasses? &nbsp;I wear glasses 95% of the time but love drops and chandeliers and hoops etc... but don't wear them as much as I like so as not to compete with my glasses. I'm a little embarrassed to admit how much I ponder this... but was glad to see that Janet and Lisap contend with this too!</p> <p>I happen to be wearing a pair of dangly Gorjana earring from Nordstrom Rack today. &nbsp;A recent new favorite are the Madewell tassel earrings in the find below, but I've only worn them a handful of times so far. &nbsp;</p> <p>A few of my lessons-learned for when I <i>do</i> wear dangly earrings:<br />- wearing my hair down helps, especially with texture/curl<br />- low contrast earrings won't compete with my high-contrast glasses as much<br />- I can occasionally go for bolder high-contrast earrings (a la Jenna Lyons) but have to be ok with the edgier look</p> <p>I'd love to hear others' thoughts and tips on pairing glasses with earrings! &nbsp;&nbsp; </p>
