What earrings go with glasses – how to match jewelry to glasses?
Glasses can dominate an entire outfit – especially if they have a striking frame or an unusual shape. However, that's no reason to skip earrings! On the contrary – well-chosen jewelry can balance facial proportions, emphasize style, and make glasses part of a cohesive, fashionable ensemble. Find out how to choose earrings that complement frames perfectly!
Are earrings and glasses a good combination?
Earrings and glasses can create a unique pair that accentuates facial features, personality, and style. The key is to carefully choose the right shapes, colors, and proportions. Properly chosen jewelry can balance the visual weight of the frames, add elegance and expressiveness, or, conversely, subtly soften the overall look. Glasses aren't a hindrance, but an additional element you can play with as a fashion statement. Knowing a few rules is all it takes to achieve cohesion instead of chaos.
Jewelry and prescription glasses vs. sunglasses
Styling with prescription glasses requires a slightly different approach than with sunglasses. Glasses worn every day—often all day—should complement earrings not only visually but also practically. It's worth choosing lightweight, well-shaped styles that won't catch on the temples and overwhelm the face. Classic stud earrings or small shapes work well here.
Sunglasses are often a great addition to more expressive summer outfits. This allows for a touch of extravagance – larger shapes, shine, and color.
The most common mistakes when combining glasses with earrings
While glasses and earrings can complement each other beautifully, it's easy to make minor mistakes that ruin the overall look. Common mistakes include:
-
doubling shapes – if you have glasses with very geometric frames (e.g. rectangular), avoid earrings with identical, angular shapes;
-
too many dominant accents – massive glasses and large, shiny earrings can overwhelm facial features;
-
getting caught on the temples – long, thin earrings can get tangled unpleasantly around the frames, especially when the hair is loose;
-
mismatched colors – warm shades of gold next to cool, silver frames and vice versa can create dissonance.
How to choose earrings to match the shape of your glasses?
Matching earrings to the shape of your glasses works similarly to matching clothes and accessories – it's about maintaining proportions and creating a cohesive whole. The most important rule? Avoid repeating the same shapes on your face. If your glasses have sharp angles, soften them with circular earrings. If they are round, add contrast by choosing more geometric or elongated earrings.
Earrings for rectangular and square glasses
Frames with clearly defined angles are visually strong and add definition to the face. To avoid overdoing the effect, it's worth choosing earrings with softer, rounded shapes. Circles, ellipses, delicate teardrops, or soft waves will balance the angularity of the frames.
Earrings for oval and round glasses
Round and oval frames have a soft, delicate character. They complement romantic, girly styles beautifully, but require contrast to avoid a too "blurred" effect. In such cases, choose earrings with a more defined shape, such as geometric, elongated, or structured ones. Long earrings with vertical lines will visually slim the face and balance the roundness of the frames. Irregular shapes also work well, adding dynamics.
Geometric frames – how not to overdo it?
Geometric frames—hexagons, irregular polygons, angular "statements"—are fashionable, bold, and eye-catching. But their unusual shape alone creates a powerful styling impact, so choosing earrings requires special care. The rule is simple: if the glasses are striking, the earrings should provide a light, neutral, and understated backdrop.
Avoid bold patterns, large shapes, and jewelry with a similar geometric character. It's better to opt for classics: small studs, thin hoops, or minimalist shapes with soft lines.

Colors – how to match jewelry to the color of the frames?
The color of your glasses frames is a key consideration when choosing jewelry. An inappropriate combination can cause accessories to clash and the overall look to become incoherent. A well-chosen color palette, on the other hand, can highlight the style's personality and beauty type:
-
black and graphite frames go well with both gold and silver – style is what counts here;
-
brown, amber and honey frames like the company of warm tones: gold, copper, beige;
-
colorful frames – navy blue, burgundy, purple – should be combined with jewelry in subdued, uniform colors to avoid overload;
-
Transparent or delicate frames give you complete freedom – you can choose more expressive jewelry and experiment.
How to match jewelry to the style of glasses and the occasion?
Glasses, like jewelry, have their own style. They can be elegant, classic, sporty, vintage, or extravagant. When choosing earrings, it's worth considering not only the shape and color, but also the overall character of the frames—and, of course, the context in which you wear them:
-
timeless, minimalist jewelry is best suited to classic frames (e.g. thin, metal, with simple lines);
-
retro frames (e.g. "cat eyes", thick plastic frames) look good with vintage jewelry – pearls, classic shapes, old gold or slight asymmetries;
-
It's worth pairing modern, designer glasses with equally bold jewelry, as long as the overall look isn't too dominant.
What about the occasion? Jewelry for the office should be discreet and unobtrusive—light, comfortable, and professional. For a date, an event, or a stroll in the sun, you can opt for something more striking, with a wow factor.
What other accessories go well with a glasses outfit?
Styling with glasses doesn't end with earrings. It's worth considering a whole set of accessories that will create a cohesive, well-thought-out whole.
Necklaces and glasses – how to choose the right length and shape?
Glasses naturally draw attention to the face, so a necklace should subtly complement it, not compete with it. Short choker necklaces work well with delicate, thin frames, while longer styles (reaching the collarbone and below) pair better with bolder ones.
Bracelets and rings to complement your style
Although worn farther away from the face, bracelets and rings have a significant impact on style, especially if the glasses and earrings are simple. In this case, it's worth accentuating your style with striking jewelry on your hands. However, if your frames and earrings are already visually striking, opt for minimalist accessories.
Glasses chains – a practical and classy trend
Eyeglass chains have made a comeback and can be a stylish accent. Models with colorful elements, pearls, or gold/silver versions are particularly popular. A well-chosen chain can even replace a necklace and become the focal point of an outfit.

Minimalist earrings – perfect for everyday wear
For people who wear glasses every day, the best choice is earrings that don't get caught on the frames and don't compete with them for attention. The Heart Mini Silver is a model that beautifully softens features and adds charm – perfect for thin metal frames. Equally subtle, but with a touch of graphic contrast, are Alexis Black , which go well with light frames.

Necklaces and chains to match your glasses
Necklaces are a perfect complement to a sunglasses outfit, especially if you want to visually frame the upper half of your face. If you prefer cooler tones, a silver snake necklace will be a good choice – its flat shape and soft shine match both clear and colored glasses.
Pearl beads are a perfect choice for those who appreciate a combination of natural character and elegance. The uneven, creamy pearls add a slightly romantic touch to any outfit and look great with subtle, feminine frames – especially those in shades of beige, champagne pink, or transparent frosted glass.
For everyday wear, for work, vacation, or a date – styling with glasses doesn't have to be boring. With carefully selected Berries jewelry, you can create a look that's expressive, cohesive, and… simply yours.
