When wearing an ao dai, you should wear pearl earrings, gemstone stud earrings, or slim gold earrings depending on the collar style and the occasion. For the traditional high-collar ao dai, stud earrings are the optimal choice to create elegance; meanwhile, modern ao dai with round or boat necklines become more impressive when paired with long earrings or medium-sized hoops.
In this article, experts from Jemmia Diamond will share with you the "golden" tips for choosing the most perfect pair of earrings, helping fully highlight the graceful beauty of Vietnamese women in the ao dai.
Tips for choosing earrings according to face shape when wearing an ao dai
Choosing earrings based on face shape helps adjust the geometric proportions of the face, creating a more harmonious look when paired with either an updo or naturally loose hair.
- Round face: For a round face when choosing earrings you should choose long, slim, or teardrop-shaped earrings to help the face look longer and more refined.
- Oval face: This is the most ideal face shape and can be paired with most types of earrings, from studs to large hoops.
- Square/angular face: Use designs with curves such as round earrings, oval earrings, or round pearl-studded earrings to soften the jawline.

Principles for choosing earrings for an ao dai
The core principle when choosing earrings to wear with an ao dai is the proportional harmony between the jewelry and the intricacy of the fabric patterns. A successful accessory set should serve as a highlight that makes the face look more radiant without overshadowing the beauty of the outfit.
- Material consistency: If the ao dai is embellished with sequins or crystals, you should prioritize stone-studded or diamond earrings to create a cohesive look.
- Moderation in accessories: When the outfit is already very eye-catching with many embroidered and embellished details, choose minimalist earrings to avoid creating a cluttered feel.
- Suitable for the occasion: Pure gold earrings (24K gold) are usually for weddings and engagement ceremonies, while silver or high-end fashion earrings are suitable for strolling and photography.

How to choose earrings according to popular ao dai styles
Each ao dai collar design determines the visible space for jewelry, so you need to choose earring styles that will not be hidden by the fabric.
| Ao dai collar style | Most suitable earring type | Aesthetic effect |
| Traditional high collar | Stud earrings, Small pearls | Elegant, discreet, classic |
| Boat neck/Wide neck | Long earrings (Dangle), Tassels | Graceful, enhances the neck and shoulder lines |
| Round neck/Modernized | Hoop earrings, Geometric earrings | Modern, youthful, distinctive |
| Female student ao dai | Silver studs, Simple white stones | Pure, innocent, age-appropriate |
Matching earrings by the color and patterns of the ao dai
The color of the earrings should be in the same color family or complement the main tone of the ao dai.
- Pure white ao dai: Best suited with silver jewelry, white pearls, or diamonds to preserve its pure beauty.
- Warm-toned ao dai (Red, Yellow, Orange): Yellow gold jewelry is the top choice to enhance a noble and radiant look.
- Cool-toned ao dai (Blue, Purple, Green): Should be paired with white gold or platinum to create a soothing and luxurious feel.
- Brocade/embroidered floral ao dai: Prioritize single-stone earrings to avoid overwhelming the viewer.
