Styling for Special Occasions: Formal Looks with Gauges

When it comes to expressing your personal style, ear gauges and piercings are a powerful form of self-expression. But when special occasions arise, you might wonder how to incorporate your unique jewellery into formal or professional attire. Whether you want to rock your style and carry it through into formal fashion, or want to subtly show your flare, Custom Plugs are here to help.

Finding the Right Balance for Stretched Ears at Formal Events

The key to integrating ear gauges and piercings into formal attire is balance. You want your jewellery to compliment your overall look. Consider the following tips to create a harmonious balance:

Choosing the Right Materials

Opt for materials that naturally lend themselves to formal settings. Metals like gold, silver, and titanium exude sophistication and can still match alternative fashion.

For a touch of luxury, explore our collection of stone, glass or metal plugs, which feature high-quality materials and stunning designs.

Keep It Minimal or Go Loud!

In formal settings, less can sometimes be more. Choose gauges with clean lines and simple designs to maintain an effortless appearance. Minimalistic designs can still make a statement while being appropriate for some professional environments.

Our minimalist collection offers a range of sleek options perfect for any occasion.

On the other hand, if your style is alternative with loud colours and statement pieces, match your plugs to your style! Just some of our collections that add that extra flare include our sparkle range, as well as gold range!

Coordinate with Your Outfit

Consider the colour palette and style of your outfit when selecting your gauges. For example, if you're wearing a black tuxedo or a navy suit, silver or platinum gauges can add a modern touch. Alternatively, if you're donning warmer tones, gold or rose gold can enhance your overall look. Our wide range of plugs, tunnels and gauges offer options for every hue and style.

Formal Events: Wedding Edition

Weddings are a time to celebrate love and joy, and your outfit should reflect the importance of the occasion. Here's how to incorporate gauges into wedding attire:

For the Wedding Guest

Choose gauges with delicate embellishments to add a touch of glamour without overshadowing the couple's special day. Our heart shaped plugs are perfect for guests who want to incorporate the day without stealing the spotlight.

If the wedding has a specific theme or colour scheme, consider matching your gauges to the theme. You can now shop our gauge range by colour, so you can find the perfect plug for every occasion.

For the Bride or Groom

Brides and grooms can opt for classic designs that blend with their wedding attire. Gauges with pearls or diamonds can be used for a timeless bridal look. Alternatively choose gauges that are one of a kind, or even custom engraved plugs to be reminded of the special day.

Incorporate meaningful symbols or personalised elements into your gauges to add a personal touch to your wedding ensemble.

Professional Settings: Job Interview Ready

When preparing for a job interview, it's important to present yourself as both professional and authentic.

Keep It Professional when Required

Select gauges that align with the workplace culture. Opt for neutral colours and classic designs that won't distract from your qualifications where needed. Our skin tone silicone plugs and essentials collection offer discreet yet stylish options - ideal for interviews.

Showcase Your Personality

While it's important to maintain professionalism, don't be afraid to let your personality shine through. Choose gauges that reflect your personal style in a subtle way. For instance, a pair of small geometric gauges or a pair of organic plugs can showcase your flare while remaining appropriate for an interview setting.

Confidence is Key

Regardless of your choice of jewellery, the most important thing is to wear it with confidence. Your gauges are an extension of who you are, and confidence in your appearance can leave a positive impression on potential employers.
