Feeling sartorially uninspired? A statement earring is the best investment to boost any ensemble – just ask any Copenhagen street styler

During Copenhagen Fashion Week, the picturesque streets of the Danish capital were a-buzz with more than the latest runway revelations. The one off-runway trend to take note of? The statement earrings running rampid among street stylers. Distinct and bold, these knock-out accessories are sometimes all it takes to up the ante of an ensemble.

Be they large, orange resin rounds worn with a fringe bag and black leather coat, white sun-shaped studs adding a maxi touch to an otherwise minimal look, or blooming fabric flowers sprouting wines of pearls or rhinestones – a multitude of earlobe accoutrements were sported by the sartorially savvy. Other choices celebrated the fanciful and the eccentric: realistic cherry-shaped earrings, gilded croissants nestled by the cheek, and embellished ladybugs – just to name a few. They're all earrings that add a sense of whimsy to the wearer, bound to be sparky conversation starters.

Perhaps the most approachable street style trend to incorporate into your own wardrobe, the perfect pair of statement earrings is ultimately a matter of personal taste. Whether you opt for bulbous silver hoops or fantastical, sculpted figurines, the key takeaway is this: don't shy away from accessories that demand attention. We'd suggest sifting through the web for a statement-making pair of your own.
