🌼 How to Style Handmade Earrings for Every Occasion
Handmade earrings are more than accessories, they’re mood-lifters, style statements, and tiny pieces of art that express who you are. At Little Wild Things, we believe that jewelry should feel as good as it looks lightweight, comfortable, and perfectly suited for your personality and day.
Whether you’re stepping into a boardroom, heading to a café with friends, or dressing up for a candlelit dinner, there’s a Little Wild Things pair for every moment.
Let’s explore how to style your handmade earrings with confidence no matter the occasion.
1. For Work or Everyday Office Wear
When it comes to office dressing, subtlety speaks volumes. The right pair of earrings can make you look put-together without stealing the show.
What to Choose:
Opt for minimal clay studs, tiny hoops, or geometric drop earrings in muted tones — ivory, blush, bronze, or soft pastels. They’re elegant yet professional, adding just enough detail to your outfit.
How to Style:
- Pair them with crisp cotton shirts, linen kurtas, or tailored dresses.
- Keep your hair tucked behind your ears or in a neat bun to let the earrings peek through.
- Avoid heavy statement pieces, the goal is understated grace.
Pro Tip: If you’re presenting or attending virtual meetings, go for slightly larger designs, they add visual balance to your on-screen look.
2. For Brunches, Travel & Casual Day Outings
Daytime dressing is all about fun, freshness, and freedom and your jewelry should reflect that mood. Handmade earrings add personality and charm to even the simplest outfit.
What to Choose:
Explore tassel earrings, beaded hoops, or floral clay drops in bright, cheerful colors. Think turquoise, coral, yellow, and mint shades that instantly lift your outfit and your spirit.
How to Style:
- Pair statement earrings with flowy dresses, denim shirts, or boho tops.
- Let them be the hero keep your makeup minimal and outfit neutral.
- Combine earthy tones with gold or brass accents for a chic yet grounded vibe.

3. For Evenings, Dinners & Celebrations
Evenings call for a little drama and handmade earrings can bring it in the most tasteful way. Whether you’re dressing for a festive event, a romantic dinner, or a wedding function, your earrings can be the centerpiece of your look.
What to Choose:
- Hand-painted danglers, crystal drops, or metallic clay earrings add just the right sparkle.
- Go for deep jewel tones emerald, ruby, and midnight blue, they reflect beautifully in low light.
- For traditional outfits, consider our handcrafted pieces with gold leaf or bead detailing.
How to Style:

Pro Tip: Skip the necklace if your earrings are bold. Let them take center stage and frame your face beautifully.
4. For Festivals & Family Gatherings
Festivals are the perfect excuse to play with colors, patterns, and statement jewelry. Handmade jewlery crafted in traditional motifs like marigolds, leaves, or intricate mandalas add authenticity and warmth to your festive look.
What to Choose:
Opt for vibrant clay jhumkas, handwoven bead clusters, or mirror-work earrings — light enough to wear all day but festive enough to stand out.
How to Style:
- Coordinate your earrings with your outfit’s accent color.
- Pair with minimal bangles or rings to keep the focus balanced.
- Experiment with braid or bun hairstyles — perfect for showing off handmade pieces.
Pro Tip: Store your festive earrings separately in soft pouches — these intricate designs deserve a little extra love!
5. For Everyday Magic
Not every occasion needs a reason. Sometimes, all you need is a small reminder of your individuality — a pop of color, a quirky shape, a spark of joy.
What to Choose:
Go for tiny clay studs, mismatched pairs, or minimal charm drops that can easily complement your jeans, kurtas, or even your pajamas during a work-from-home day.
How to Style:
- Mix and match earrings to create your own style language.
- Try layering smaller studs with ear cuffs or mini hoops.
- Treat each day as an excuse to wear art.
