What Type of Earrings Should You Wear With a turban?

One of the hottest fashion trends in addition of the head scarf to just about any outfit.  

And these days, head scarves can be successfully worn by any hair type: naturals, curlies, long or short hair, or completely-covered hair.  

Besides being practical for summer fun like swimming, boating, and other sports, head scarves are a smart and fashionable accessory to your wardrobe.

But, add to your scarf just the right pair of earrings, and your look can go from fabulous to extraordinary. However, you need to be aware of a few things in order to find the best earrings that both complement your scarf, your face shape, and your skin coloring. 

Let's take a deeper look at what to consider when choosing a scarf/earring combo.

Now let's pair your scarf with the right earrings. Here are some general rules:

• Don't create the battle-of-the-accessories with your choices. A more understated scarf or headband, perhaps in only one color or fabric goes best with more elaborate earrings.

• Don't mix casual and formal accessories in the same look. This has a lot to do with the scarf fabric. Wraps or scarves made from cotton or even polyester will need to be paired with a more "everyday" earring, while head scarves made with silk, satin, or other shiny fabric will call for a dressier earring set. 

• If your head wear has any jewels or appliques already attached, the earrings should be understated. 

Again, don't be afraid to try different combinations of earrings and scarves at home, alongside the clothes you plan to wear with them. Be aware of the overall vibe you want to create with your outfit, and coordinate your accessories appropriately.

Can't Decide? Go With Hoops

My go to! Hoop earrings are the ultimate in versatility when it comes to pairing with head scarves, provided you are careful in choosing the size, color, and material. 

Simple hoops made of gold or silver are always classic, but don't be afraid to experiment with non-traditional hoop styles made from wood, leather, and other metals. Fringes added to hoop earrings are dramatic and fun, and the addition of gemstones will add sophistication and a more formal air. 

Hoop earrings of any style are a good first place to start when learning which head scarf and jewelry pairings will work best for you.

Have fun mixing and matching, and enjoy your most polished and unique look!
