Ear Shape Types

The ear types our AI identifies and their styling implications.

Attached Lobe

Connected

The earlobe connects directly to the side of the head without a free-hanging section. Stud and huggie earrings complement attached lobes well.

Detached Lobe

Free-hanging

The earlobe hangs freely below the point of attachment. Detached lobes suit all earring styles and can carry heavier drop and dangle designs.

Prominent

Outward angle

Ears that project noticeably outward from the head. Hairstyles with volume at the sides or that partially cover the ears create visual balance.

Small

Compact

Ears that are smaller relative to overall head and face proportions. Delicate studs and small hoops complement compact ears without overwhelming them.

Large

Broad

Ears that are larger relative to head proportions. Larger ears can carry statement earrings and bold accessories with ease.
