If statement earrings seem too ostentatious for you, this hot jewellery trend may just change your mind. Why not try wearing just one dangling, “OTT” earring, instead of a pair, as seen at the Autumn Winter 2014 runway shows of Louis Vuitton and Celine.

The beauty of such asymmetry draws immediate attention to your accessory of choice. And there’s that quiet confidence that it comes with. Because in this case, less really is more; Singapore accessories designer Kang Yong has even been selling his eco-friendly cable tie earring per piece, rather than as a pair.

An easy way to wear this trend, is to wear a feminine drop earring or a hoop. For not all of us can pull off the edgier ear cuff the way model-of-the-moment Cara Delevingne can. Just take the other earring off and embrace off kilter-ness of this trend.

Should you still feel a bit self-conscious about trying this trend, why not wear your hair down like French actress Astrid Berges Frisbey and let your long tresses cover the sans-earring ear. Or wear a single statement ear stud, like the models on the Christian Dior Spring Summer 2014 runway.
