Almost any. A white t-shirt doesn't compete with anything, so the earring gets to be the main thing. The real question is how much you want it to show.
Here's how we think about it.
For a regular day
Hoops. They go with jeans and sneakers, and you don't have to think about it. The Faith Chunky Hoops ($52) are gold and waterproof, so you can keep them on from the gym to dinner.
When you want to look a bit more put together
A smooth gold drop does it. It looks neat without looking like you tried too hard. The Pamela ($48) comes in two sizes: small for work, medium for the weekend.
If you like gold and silver together
The Joelma ($49.90) is a gold stud with a small silver sphere below. It goes with a silver watch and a gold bag at the same time, so you don't have to match anything.
When the t-shirt is the whole outfit
Go bigger. The Lucila ($114) are big hollow gold drops. With a white tee and your hair pulled back, you don't need anything else.
A few small things that help
- If the earrings are the point, pull your hair back.
- One big piece is enough. Big earrings and a big necklace together usually feels like too much.
- With a crew neck, earrings do more than a necklace. With a V-neck, there's room for both.
A white t-shirt is the easiest thing in your closet. The earring is what makes it look like you chose it.
