They say in fashion that everything that’s old is new again, and that includes the finishing touch of any outfit – accessories. While bold statement necklaces have been the bling du jour the last few years, trendy earrings are now the star of the statement list and some of the top looks right now hint at 80s and 90s punk and metal days when earrings were anything but dainty and demure.
We’ve got the scoop on five earring trends to embrace in 2015. And they go way beyond the predictable pearl stud or the humble hoop, although we firmly believe that in fashion there is a time and place for everything. These five trends, however, are a modern twist on the simple stud that will update your wardrobe.
The Double Stud
If you’ve got an ear for classic fashion with a contemporary twist, you’ll want to check out The Double Stud. This is a feminine style with a contemporary look and perfect if you want to be trendy, but not “too” trendy. This Double Pearl Stud is the perfect choice for embracing your grandmother’s pearls.

Ear Crawlers
Not ready to wear a full ear cuff? The Ear Crawler look is a more feminine delicate mixed style of trendy earrings that gives the illusion of curving up the outside of your ear. For a more whimsical look, wear a single stud in one ear and a coordinating Ear Crawler on the other. It’s a fun way to shake up your look with a head turn! Think of it as a little unexpected surprise, especially if you tend to wear more conservative accessories. This Pave Triangle Earl Crawler set is beautiful and bold.

Ear Cuffs
The edgy ear cuff is making a comeback. Once a hot accessory in the 90s, the punk rock inspired accessory is making a comeback. Not for the faint of heart, ear cuffs are perfect for that fashionista who’s not afraid of making a statement for all to see! Stylish celebs like Emma Stone and Keira Knightly have rocked the red carpet with this style of trendy earrings. If your look is more subdued (we’ll never see you down at the corner tattoo parlor getting inked up), the ear cuff is a great way to embrace a bold trend.

Don’t get us wrong, the classic stud earring, whether a pearl or a diamond, will always be a go-to classic look, and a dangling chandelier earring will always say glamour, but these trendier looks in earrings are a great way to add an unexpected twist to your OOTD.
