How to style hoop earrings

You might think that hoop earrings are all the same, but that’s definitely not the case. There are so many different styles, shapes, metals and designs that go with everything. Here’s how to style hoop earrings, wherever you’re headed.

Everyday casual

For a casual, everyday look you have room to experiment with your earrings. Whether you’re wearing jeans and a top or a casual dress, hoop earrings are perfect, go for a pair of huggies or twisted hoops to add some style to your look. And don’t be afraid to go a little chunkier with your hoops either.

All business

When dressing for work, go for a simple, classic hoop style. Small silver hoops are great for the office and silver jewellery has been trending all year. A more subtle hoop style doesn't look over the top with the rest of your work outfit.

Going out

For a night out or a special event, go for a pair of gold hoops. Pair them with a cute dress or a top and skirt combo. Gold hoops are the perfect finishing touch for a night out. We love them on holiday too.

Tips for choosing the perfect hoop earrings

One of the things we love about hoop earrings is how much choice there is when picking your style. However, this can make it tricky to work out which ones suit you, or which you’re going to wear the most.

Here’s how to style hoop earrings to work with your face shape, style and the occasion:

- Face shape: Think about your face shape when choosing hoop earrings. Larger hoops can elongate a round face, while smaller hoops or huggies can complement a heart-shaped or oval face. If you’ve ever put in a pair of hoops and thought “immediately no”, it might just be that they’re not the right style for you.

- Occasion: Think about where you’ll be wearing the hoops. Simple, small hoops are great for everyday wear, while larger, embellished hoops are perfect for special occasions. Sometimes rules are made to be broken though.
- Personal style: Choose hoops that match your personal style. If you prefer minimalistic looks, go for classic gold or silver hoops. If you love bold, statement pieces, choose hoops with unique designs or embellishments. You can even personalise your pieces.
- Comfort: Make sure the hoops are comfortable to wear, especially if you plan to wear them for long periods. Lightweight hoops tend to be more comfortable for longer periods, and different metals can feel better for some people too.

    We offer a wide range of hoop earrings that work for all different styles. From classic gold and silver hoops to unique designs, there’s something to suit everyone. Check out our individually designed hoop earrings to find your style.
