4 Earring Trends That Guarantee Tons of Compliments

If you’re looking to up your jewelry game this season but really want to make it count, today I got you. You’re not here for a dainty little ring no one will notice, nor do you need a pendant necklace that spends half its time covered under your tops. You want something that's on trend, makes a statement, and even gets you a few compliments. You want cool earrings (or, as you’re about to see, a combination of them) that will do more for your look than just blend in. I know this because you’re reading this story, and lucky for you, I’ve got just the things.

From fun flowers to classic pearls with a twist, these are four non-basic earring trends for spring that check all the boxes mentioned above and more. Not to mention, they can be yours at any price point imaginable. To see what they are and, of course, shop my picks for each one, just keep scrolling,

Pearls

Whether it’s a in a cluster, combined with gold, or the classic single, there’s no wrong way to do pearl earrings this season.

Layers

I call this a “free” trend because you likely don’t need to buy anything new to achieve the look—though you might need a few more piercings. If you’re on a budget, simply combine a few earrings you already own to get the look instantly.

Editor-at-Large

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2024, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
