Accessories can be handy tools to take an outfit from zero to 100 in an instant. This year, large, chunky earrings have been my secret sartorial weapon to not only elevate my entire look but also make my outfits look expensive. The '80s-inspired silhouettes have been a favorite among the fashion set this season. No matter what they're styled with, they ooze rich-mom energy that makes an entire outfit. From round gold circles to silver waves and geometric designs, the trend will continue to dominate into fall. In fact, they were spotted all over the fall/winter 2023 runways, styled with everything from elegant eveningwear to simple tank tops intended to be worn for practically every occasion. 

If you're looking to get in on the chic-earring trend this season, you don't necessarily have to commit to the designer versions to do so. After much research, I gathered 24 pairs that embody the extra-large-earring craze. Whether you want to go vintage, designer, or affordable, keep scrolling—there's something for every taste and budget.
