Earrings for the office that still feel like you
How long is too long, which shapes stay polished all day, and the bag trick that takes you from desk to dinner.
Journal ·
Workwear asks for one piece of interest. Earrings are the easiest place to put it: they frame your face on calls and in meetings, and they don't get in the way of a keyboard.
Length
Drops that end around the jaw look polished with a shirt or a blazer. Longer tassels work in creative offices and look relaxed with linen. If you're unsure, go one size shorter than you'd wear on the weekend.
Shape
- Blossoms and small drops: neat and easy with any collar.
- Tassels: movement without noise. Gold-tone chain tassels suit plain knits.
- Leaves: a little more statement. Wear them with hair tucked back and a simple neckline.
Colour
Gold-tone goes with almost every work wardrobe. A touch of pearl-look softens a sharp blazer; a petal in peach or white adds colour without shouting.
Desk to dinner
Keep a second, longer pair in a small pouch in your bag. Swap them after work, and the same outfit is ready for dinner.
