15 Fresh Ways To Stack Your Earrings

by Shannon Nash

Multiple piercings, layering earrings, ear cuffs and jackets are having a major fashion moment. There isn’t a day that goes by where we don’t double click a photo of an expertly decorated lobe on a jewelry designer or It girl’s Instagram account. When assembling a stylish mix of your own, pay attention to spacing and diversity of design.

Here, 15 ideas for how to stack your sparkle this summer.
