Remember your loveably loopy junior school art teacher? Her colourful, paint-splattered blouses and arms chok-a-blok with bangles?
Remember the way she encouraged you to express yourself via the medium of glitter and Crayola? To make your own jewellery out of coloured beads and pasta shells?
Well, it seems that after all these years, we are finally ready to take her advice on board. Or at least our ears are.
For kooky, colourful and just-a-bit-bonkers art teacher earrings are the delightfully silly dish du jour.
The arty trend first took off last summer with J.W.Anderson's much-replicated Matisse-inspired gold wire faces.
And then came the popularity of every form of quirky, golden sculptural shape.
For summer 2018, though, it’s less about gallery-worthy ear art and more about something that looks almost as though a five-year-old could have made it.
The more colourful and juvenile the better, trust us.
