Mix Your Metallics with Earrings in Silver and Gold

As forward thinking as fashion can be, there are still a lot of rules relating to how and when certain things should be worn. From “no white after Labor Day” to “don’t wear stripes with polka-dots,” these rules are antiquated and it’s time to modernize our sense of fashion’s guidelines. First up: the rule that says silver and gold shouldn’t be worn together. Instead of dressing in head-to-toe metallics to upstage this notion, elegantly break the rules in a pair of earrings that mix the two tones.

From drop styles to hoop versions, read on for our tips on wearing dual-tone earrings.

Elegant Evening

Go with a dramatic evening look for a special black-tie occasion. Opt for a romantic black dress featuring sheer paneling and lace. Wear your hair in a soft, wispy updo and complement the frock’s high neckline with a pair of drop earrings in silver and gold. Pick up the earrings’ metallic tones in a pair of silver ankle-strap stilettos, and finish the look with a black purse.

Bold Buttons

Whether small and dainty or bold and sculptural, button earrings add a glamorous, vintage touch to any outfit. Wear yours to an elegant wedding with a strapless gown featuring a bold and moody floral print. Complement the deep color palette in a pair of platform ankle-strap pumps and add a pop of color with a yellow clutch.

High-End Hoops

Hoop earrings are often thought to be a more casual style, but with a sculptural shape and rose-gold detailing, they can work for more elegant occasions, as well. Attend your industry’s annual awards ceremony in a cream, floral-embroidered gown. The hoop earrings will complement the gown’s high neckline and add a bit of sparkle to your look. Step into a pair of d’orsay pumps and complete the ensemble with a clutch bag in a bold hue.

Rules are meant to be broken. Cross the line in a pair of earrings that mix silver and gold.
