Want to wear oversized earrings this season? Make sure you opt for a simple, understated hairstyle. This is the golden rule when it comes to avoiding a fashion faux-pas. Let’s take a more in-depth look at the top 3 styles that are quick and simple to create.
 
The low ponytail with centre parting combo. This hairstyle was spotted on the Balmain Autumn-Winter 2014-2015 runway show at Paris Fashion Week and is perfect for showing off those dazzling earrings you’ve been dying to try out. It’s also an ideal choice for those who want to show off their forehead, décolletage area or an interesting make-up look. Replicate the model’s hairstyle by starting with a neat centre parting on clean, de-tangled hair. Gather at the base of the neck and secure with a hair tie. Finally, spray evenly with hairspray for a long-lasting hold.
 
The boyish crop. This look was also spotted on the Balmain catwalk show. Hair was worn very short with a side-swept front section. Whether you opt for creole or bejewelled earrings, they will instantly add a feminine touch to your outfit. Our top tip? Go for a gold or silver pair to add a sophisticated feel.
 
Loose lengths with slicked-back roots. There’s no better style for bringing all the attention to your statement jewellery. Get the look by combing straightened hair backwards towards the nape of the neck. Next, apply a pea-sized amount of styling gel to the root area for a slicked-back effect and spray all over with hairspray. This ultra-glam style is perfect for a sophisticated evening out with friends.
