I’ve noticed a trend lately of what I’ll call “oversized post earrings” — these double knots from Heaven Mayhem, for example, are 2-3x the size of posts and huggies that we’ve seen before the trend. It almost reminds me of costume jewelry from the ’50s, but the styles are much more daytime-appropriate than a lot of the costume jewelry.
My $.02: I think they still have a conservative look, and would be fine for casual days at the office. For bigger/more important days, though, I think you want to ask yourself whether people will remember you or your earrings. (I think there’s also maybe an element of, “do you have the personality to match those earrings?”)
The pictured ones are a great example of how to do the trend the right way, and I love the mixed metals. They’re $110, at Shopbop.
