Why wear one earring when you can combine two at the same time? Whether combining metals or different silhouettes, the mismatched earring trend allows you to bring in opposing elements with one pair.

Daphine Christy Hoops ($102)

Bottega Veneta Gold-Tone Crystal Earrings ($1150)

'80s

I love any excuse to mix in a throwback trend, especially when it's from the '80s. With glamorous earrings from the decade on the rise, you can expect to see me wearing these again very soon.

Shop the trend:

Mayol Jewelry Alexis Earrings ($111)
