Learning from the best

The phrase «French style» has long claimed the status of phraseology: it implies at the same time something rebellious and infinitely feminine, mischievous and serious, modern and classical. Coco Chanel understood the complexity of these seemingly mutually exclusive phenomena best of all. Is it any wonder that Chanel — perhaps the most French House — decided to create a «dictionary of style», and devote the first section to earrings. After all, Mademoiselle, like no one else, understood the special role of jewelry in creating a complete image.

Below are five ways to wear your favorite French-style Chanel earrings. Looking ahead, we note: Chanel provides you with all the rules to interpret in your own way, because whatever combination you choose, it will be a winning one.

Symmetry

A pair of identical earrings on the right and left ear: conscious acceptance of symmetry in pursuit of perfect balance.

Accent

One large earring on one ear: style is important.

Repetition

Feel free to embrace the asymmetry by wearing two identical earrings on one ear.

Asymmetry

Show off your earring by wearing it on only one side.

Accumulation

Mix, match and layer different earrings on both sides. Any combination is a winning one.
