Looking for a way to liven up your usual sophisticated, low chignon this winter? Look no further than a pair of statement, fantasy earrings.
 
The trend. Slicked-back chignons were spotted on the Céline 2014-2015 Autumn-Winter runway show at Paris Fashion Week. This simple, yet elegant, hairstyle is ideal for opening up the wearer’s face and was the perfect way to show off the statement earrings worn by the runway models. In terms of make-up, the designer decided to keep things au-natural. Complexions were smooth and radiant with subtly defined eyes and a light pink hue to the lips.
 
Who can wear fantasy earrings? Anybody who likes to experiment and try out a new accessory that turns heads. This style is suitable for almost any occasion, whether you’ve got a busy day ahead at the office planned, or a glitzy night out with friends. Add a pair of fantasy earrings to any look to ramp up the glamor and originality.
 
Get the runway look. Start by brushing your hair backwards, avoiding creating a parting. Secure at the base of the neck and tie into a chignon with the help of a few bobby pins. Apply a small amount of gel to the front section to get that glossy sheen. Keep everything firmly in place thanks to a layer of hairspray. You can now put in your favorite pair of look-at-me earrings to liven up your otherwise simple look. 2015’s take on the trend? Be daring and opt for one earring to create an asymmetric feel.
