Play it by ear

Osman’s suspended earring

 

To complete your face for Winter 2017-18, you need cold weather makeup and statement earrings. This season, we’re seeing dangling chandeliers and scarf-wrapped earrings from Balenciaga. Think big, bold, in-your-face designs, sometimes worn on just one earlobe.

The historic periods designers have sourced for their inspirations are like a history lesson—the Renaissance at Dolce & Gabbana, the Baroque at Rodarte and the Byzantine filigree at Etro. Mondrian from the ’50s, Op Art from the ’60s and punk from the ’80s are also quoted. In short, one can wear any style from A to Z and still come out fashionable to a T.

Study the many guises of the statement earrings we offer today. There’s definitely one that will give you an ear-to-ear smile But remember, nothing is more complicated than simplicity. —CONTRIBUTED
