16 Statement Earrings To Rock This Summer

Turn heads with these bold designs

by Jenna Igneri

When the temperatures start to rise, our fashion and beauty choices have to follow suit. This is crucial for some of us—it gets hot in New York. Not only are we wearing less and less clothing and makeup, but the way we style our hair (which for some of us, becomes frizzy and seems to double in size when humid) also needs adjustment. Most of the time, our locks either get thrown into a messy topknot or entirely chopped off.

Whichever we choose, however, provides us with a great canvas to show off earrings that pack a major punch. While bohemian chandelier earrings are always a favorite of those with laid-back summer vibes, this season we’re also seeing a ton of bold, geometric styles—whether shown in colorful, jewel-encrusted, or intricate metal designs.

Whether they’re inspired by UFOs or look like they came straight out of Coachella street style, we rounded up the 16 coolest statement earrings of the summer.
