SQUARE OR RECTANGLE
If your face has angular outlines with squarish proportions, go for earrings oval or rounded edges which softens the edges and choose a style that go beyond your jawline,
If your face is angular and long, I. e more on the rectangular side, jawline length pear shapes and wide earrings work well. A long face will be balanced with shorter circular and medium length earrings.
For both square and rectangular, stay away from any kind of earring with a hard geometric or angular shape.
