Messy little comparison first
A short blue dress is already playful. It’s not “serious navy evening gown.” It’s legs, movement, cheeky energy. Earrings can either keep it polished (studs, pearls), or lean into the chaos (tassels, chandeliers, rhinestones). Gold hoops feel fiery. Sapphires echo the blue. Emeralds cut through it like a blade. Rose gold adds warmth. Ear climbers whisper modern cool. None of it is safe-safe, but some are safer than others.
I’ve worn studs with a blue mini and felt elegant. I’ve worn crystal chandeliers with the same dress and felt like a disco ball. Both nights turned out good. Earrings change the vibe more than shoes, I swear.
1. Diamond Studs — Effortless Ice

Studs are so simple they almost feel boring. But with a short blue dress, they balance the playfulness with polish. I wore oversized studs once with a cobalt mini and strappy heels. The dress said party, the earrings said “don’t worry, I’ve got taste.” They sparkle just enough to make you look put together without overdoing it.
2. Pearl Drops — Sweet Class
Pearls soften everything. Drop pearls add a swing, a touch of romance. I wore pearl drops with a light blue skater dress once — boots on, messy hair — and somehow it looked intentional, like I was channeling vintage charm. They stop a short dress from looking too wild. They add calm.
3. Gold Hoops — Hot Clash

Blue is cold, gold is fire. Together, they’re bold. Hoops especially — small ones look polished, big chunky ones scream confidence. I wore gold hoops with a navy short dress at a rooftop bar. Honestly, I felt like trouble in the best way. Gold against blue isn’t polite, it’s sexy.
4. Sapphire Danglers — Blue Depth

Blue on blue could’ve been boring. But sapphires in a different shade actually create depth. Danglers add drama. I wore sapphire earrings with a darker blue satin mini — it felt lush, layered, luxe. Like I was dripping midnight instead of just wearing it. Safe but still dramatic.
5. Emerald Accents — Royal Clash

Green and blue? It’s unexpected. Emerald earrings cut through the blue, add contrast, make people stare. I wore emerald studs with a bright blue cocktail mini once. A stranger complimented them more than the dress. That’s how bold they looked. It’s risky, but royal.
6. Crystal Chandeliers — Loud Glam

Short dress, chandeliers, you’re basically telling the room you’re here to be seen. Crystals shimmer, dangle, catch every flash of light. I wore long crystal chandeliers with a tight navy mini at a New Year’s party once. Did I look subtle? No. Did I look unforgettable? Yes. They swing, they sparkle, they steal the show.
7. Rose Gold Teardrops — Romantic Glow

Rose gold isn’t loud. It’s warm, tender, almost romantic. Teardrops against a blue short dress tone down the cheekiness, add softness. I wore rose gold earrings with a sky-blue mini and flats once on a date. The whole look felt sweet, not overdone. Rose gold whispers instead of screams.
8. Statement Tassels — Flirty Chaos

Tassels swing, move, dance. Perfect with a short dress that’s already playful. They add joy. I wore red tassel earrings with a bright blue mini once. It was chaotic, colorful, fun. People kept staring at them when I laughed. Tassels are less about elegance, more about energy.
9. Minimalist Ear Climbers — Modern Edge

Climbers don’t dangle, they climb. Sleek, sharp, modern. Against a short blue dress, they feel cool without trying too hard. I wore crystal ear climbers with a navy A-line mini. No necklace, hair pulled back. People thought it looked “edgy.” It wasn’t edgy, it was me being lazy. But climbers trick people into thinking you’re chic.
10. Vintage Rhinestones — Retro Gamble

Rhinestones are camp. They can look tacky or iconic depending on the night. Against a blue short dress, vintage rhinestone earrings feel like disco energy. I wore chunky rhinestones with a cobalt mini once. I definitely looked extra — but extra worked. Rhinestones are a gamble, but blue fabric carries them well.
Crooked Closing Thoughts (because I don’t do tidy)
Short blue dresses are already cheeky. Earrings either pull them toward elegance (studs, pearls, rose gold) or push them toward chaos (tassels, chandeliers, rhinestones). Hoops are bold. Sapphires echo. Emeralds clash. Climbers cut modern. None of it’s wrong.
Honestly, I think it’s mood dressing. If you’re feeling soft — pearls or rose gold. If you’re feeling bold — gold hoops or chandeliers. If you want to play — tassels or rhinestones. I’ve even worn mismatched studs with a mini once, because I lost one on the floor before leaving. No one noticed. They just said “cool asymmetry.” Confidence sells it.
So yeah. Ten earring ideas. Try them, mess them up, own the chaos. A short blue dress forgives more mistakes than you think.
