Earrings to Wear Now and Forever

The best minimalist earrings can help punctuate an outfit. Whether you consider yourself a modern-day minimalist or prefer more maximalist details, simple and sophisticated earrings help add a layer of elegance to one’s ensemble. Consider the sister duo behind Agmes, known for their sculptural, artful take on jewelry that are easily future heirlooms in the making. Or Repossi, where Gaia Repossi has continued her family’s legacy of creating timeless, architectural jewelry that can easily stand on its own.

The best minimalist earring are those that aren’t necessarily the center point of an outfit, but they help tie an entire look together. Whether you’re heading to the office again or attending a wedding soon, there is a myriad of options that fit the bill. We love Charlotte Chesnais’ twisted gold hoop earring when paired with a simple white tee and tailored trousers. Svnr’s upcycled drop earrings are perfect to pack for upcoming summer escapes when paired with a dreamy vacation dress. And don’t forget, classic hoop earrings are a style staple for a reason—they can be worn to work, to dinner, and beyond. Shop hoop versions by Jennifer Fisher and Sophie Buhai, or for a twisted, alternative take on the silhouette, Bottega Veneta’s coiled gold-plated earring are a must for everyday wear. Ahead, the best minimalist earring to wear now and forever.

Studs Earrings

There’s a reason the stud is your first earring. Besides the whole piercing process, it simply goes with everything. They add an easy touch of sparkle that can be worn no matter the occasion—gym and pool included.

Hoop Earrings

It’s a classic style that delivers subtle attitude. Big or small, hoop earrings make a statement without being over the top.
