Stay with us as we decode the fashion of wearing a single earring with your outfits and tips to carry it the right way.
More About the Trend
Earrings went solo on the stage this season. The one earring trend dominated major spring 2020 runways from Tibi and Marc Jacobs to Prabal Gurung. Oscar de la Renta also showcased their Spring/Summer 2020 collection with models walking down the ramp with just a single dangler. Most of these solo earrings featured this year's top jewellery trends like chunky chains, modern pearls, charms, giant gems, colourful mix-mash and more. With the chunky statement pieces adorned only on one of the ears, this trend was all about heavy jewellery styling. In the fall of 2020, this trend got bigger and blended with winter wear showcasing trends like checks, casual formals, schoolgirl, etc. It was included in most of the fall 2020 jewellery trends highlighting '80s Statement Earrings with pearls, charms, big gems, and more.
It is not a totally new trend if you are wondering. Remember the times when some men in the '90s used to sport a single earring dangling from one ear. Though it wasn't popular among women at that time, some men carried this trend really well. And then slowly when the gap between the gender-free jewellery became narrow, some women picked this idea of wearing mis-mash earrings. They started wearing a dangler on one ear and a stud on the other which gave a feel of the one-earring trend. A few years back, jewellery designers took this and blended it in the latest fashion with statement earring pieces displayed on the ramp all solo. From dangler to hoops, from shoulder dusters to ear cuffs, everything was made to feature a single earring with a variety of embellished designs in gold, diamonds or gemstone jewellery pieces.
Designs that Ruled the Ramp this Season
This sassy trend was all over the runways with a variety of its avatars this year. From the spring-summer collections to fall-winter ones, the stages of international fashion shows saw fantastic designs of jewellery that included this one earring trend in eye-catchy styles. The season of spring 2020 started with some classic trends like extra florals, layered pearls, chunky chains, metallic vibes and many more.

Along with the apparels that featured more layers of clothing, trendy jewellery designs worn were heavily decorated, chunky and intricate. Models wore single earring with vibrant designs that complemented these layered outfits and other accessories. The single pearl string earring caught many eyes on these shows, and so did an oversized chunky hoop earring going solo. Not only danglers, the ramps saw big sized studs in geometric shapes and highly embellished ear cuff for one ear as well. Shiny crystals were indeed the icing on the cake for this season. Other designs include feathers, tassels, charms, pearls on gold, heavy metal with irregular shapes, linked chains, and many more.
Note: The primary idea to slay this look is to go for an earring that's vibrant and trendy enough to stand on its own.
How to Style It
This fabulous trend can become the next fashion update that will, for sure, make you look sophisticated and voguish. All you need is one earring (any earring) hanging or dangling on your ear. Believe us; once you try this with your party outfits, you will hate to choose any other look. And the best part if, every woman can do this trick. You don't need anything extra to try it at once. And the better part would be to wear those earrings which you had lost the other one of the pair. You can still wear them. This can bring a significant fashion statement to your overall attire as well as the face. This single earring trend looks edgy and easy to pull off. Of course, you can buy any pair of trendy drop earrings and choose to wear one, but there are a lot of retailers and designer brands these days who are selling singular earrings. Here's how to style these varieties of designs with your outfits to spice things up.
We would recommend you to go for statement and massive styles that will underline your uniqueness as well as your clothes. To make this trend work more perfectly, try to wear your hair up or choose any one-sided hairstyle so that you can show off your beautiful earring. The decorated drop and geometric massive earring styles will, for sure fit your smart-casuals, and boho-inspired outfits, while sleek and elegant one with delicate designs will underline your glittering evening dress. Off-shoulder tops or dresses can pair up perfectly with the solo dangler while ear cuffs and hoops can work with deep necklines. But if you have got a one-shoulder top or gown, then there is no other perfect match than a single statement earring with your hair tied up into a sleep bun. The trend also looks fantastic on women with short hair. Try it yourself and get ready to rock any party with just a single touch of bling!
