Brighten Up Summer Outfits With Colorful Earrings Under $50

By Southern Living Editors

Summer is officially here! Time to break out all the pretty eyelet blouses, drapey linen dresses, and the basket bag of your dreams that you’ve been waiting to bust out ever since it appeared on your doorstep. If there’s one thing we love more than the slew of neutral colors that tend to make an appearance around this time of year (we’re looking at you, beach families), it’s an unexpected pop of color that instantly brightens up your summer outfit. Our collections of statement earrings are ever-growing as designers dream up tassels that are bolder than ever, matched by punchy studs that prove the power of a small statement. Scrolling through online retailers this season has us giddy to click ‘add to cart’ with every passing shade of coral, and much to our delight, many of this season’s punchiest and prettiest earrings are ringing in at under $50. Scroll through a few of our favorite picks—we *dare* you to try to pick just one pair.
