2 HOT Earring Styles for This Summer

Summer 2011 has some beautiful jewelry items that are hot this summer and earrings are always tops on the list.  Here are two fashion favorites to look for when the hot weather heats up and you still want to look fabulous without over doing your accessories.

Gemstone Drop Earrings

Drop earrings are hot this summer, especially when those drop earrings measure  1-1/4" to 2" in length.  These are wonderful to wear with the fabulous dresses that are out this summer and can really make a difference in your fashion statement.

You can find these amazing drop earrings in bright citrus colors that are on fire this summer, especially yellow, pinks, corals and blues. Look for faceted real and faux gems that have a glamorous or upscale appearance. The more glitzy and glamorous, the better!

Feather Earrings

Feather style earrings are one of the hottest styles going this summer and the longer, the better! Celebrities have been spotted sporting 8" to 12" long feather earrings! You will find feather earrings that are just plain or some that have beads and charms dangling off them so look for some that are light and airy in their appearance.

You will want to stick with the neutral colors like white, ivory, cream, beige and browns for the most usage although there are beautiful blues and greens that will fascinate the most picky shopper and accessory lover. Pairing these earrings with amazing summer colors that will make them pop is a fashion plus. 

Both of these selections are a great choice for summer wear.  Bright bold colors are always in style and the gemstone earring can really set off a lovely outfit and make a fashion statement. The feather earrings are perfect for more casual clothes, but they can also be dressed up too.  Both earrings are ones you need to keep on hand for amazing summer outfits and outings.
