The concept of combining “minimalist” and “statement” in one sentence may seem counterintuitive, but even those who prefer simplicity need a little flair occasionally. When it comes to clothing, some pieces are timeless and essential, while others serve as bold statement pieces. It’s essential to remember the allure of elevated basics–a perfect fusion of statement and timelessness. The principle applies to jewelry as well.
Think back to when you received or bought your first pair of earrings; they likely became a daily staple. Whether they were simple studs or skinny gold hoops, they effortlessly complimented all of your outfits. As you progress through your minimalist era, now might be the time to elevate your earrings to something bolder and more attention-grabbing. If you’re interested in exploring earrings beyond your usual rotation, consider adding a chunky, colorful earring or a piece of structural art to adorn your ear.
Embracing the maximalist minimalist era involves finding pieces that resonate with your usual style but boast an added detail you haven’t tried before. A statement earring can make you feel your best without standing out too much. That’s the allure of elevated smaller pieces; they catch the eye of some but not others. While most minimalists may not actively seek the spotlight, receiving a little attention never hurts.
