Summer Accessory Layering, Part 2: Ear Stacking

Hot, hot, hot trend alert! Ear stacking! And, it’s perfect for when the days are hot. You want your hair up and off your neck; perfect way to show off your ears layered with unique and interesting earrings and cuffs galore.

Ear stacking

Whether you have multiple piercings or none at all! You can create dimension and add color to you outfit all on your ears. Play with it even more and go asymmetrical! Create a dramatic stack on one ear, and go lighter on the other!

tips and tricks for ear stacking:

  • make use of simple building block pieces, then add to it! Just like you’d start with a basic tee and layer on top of that.

  • Try stacking multiples of the same basic piece.

  • think about color. Adding stones or pearls with color and sparkle to the mix is a great way to add pop to your ear look.

  • Play with length of earring. Mix and match earrings that stay close to the ear, and earrings that dangle or hang low!

  • use the WHOLE EAR. There are so many surfaces to adorn! Even no-pierce ear cuffs that embrace the entire ear!
