15 pairs of clip-on earrings that will instantly add a dash of glamour to any outfit

Once upon a time, clip-on earrings were what you played dress-up in, before your mum allowed you to get your first actual piercing. Pat Butcher hardly helped boost their reputation by relying on oversized, garish and – let’s be frank – downright tacky jewels on Eastenders. But now the clip-on earring is having a fashion renaissance and our lobes are loving it.

From simple minimal shapes to opulent, statement styles, GLAMOUR has the ultimate edit of earrings that will work for non-pierced ears, or if you just fancy adding a little something extra to your curated ear.

And that’s the fun part about accessorising with jewellery. Earrings are one of the fastest ways to add a fresh twist to any of your outfits. We particularly love teaming fabulous earrings with pretty dresses as a celebratory wedding guest outfit, but earrings can also let you add your own personal stamp of style to something more simple, like a white t-shirt worn with high-waisted jeans.

If you’re a designer fashion fan, costume jewellery gives you an affordable-ish opportunity to add a little catwalk cool to your jewellery box. We love Prada’s pearl detail earrings and Saint Laurent’s heart-shaped beauties while Pomellato’s rose gold hoops are ideal as a super special treat.

Susan Caplan is one of the best places to find pre-loved vintage gems and specialises in costume jewellery like these long drop gold-plated, faux pearl 1980s earrings. Jennifer Gibson’s pre-loved faux-pearl, gold-plated crystal earrings are a vintage gem (literally, lol) too.

Fans of the minimalist aesthetic will go quietly wild for Jil Sander’s elegant handmade gold ‘wave’ earrings, Jenny Bird’s subtle gold-dipped cuff-style earrings and the mixed metals in Emma Holland’s neat tricoloured curve stud style earrings.
