We love it when things come full circle, and it looks like the trend that was hot in the 90s is back for another round. The classic hoop earring is getting attention from celebs and stylists alike, with names like Rihanna, Diane Kruger and Camilla Belle sporting the look. With so many color, texture and size options, it’s no wonder the sleek silhouette never gets old.
Classic gold hoops are a basic building block in every jewelry box. To keep it traditional, go with a light, delicate version like these Charlene K earrings or chunk it up with a heavier pair. Both are wardrobe staples and can be worn for work or play.
Up the stakes with more eye-catching styles that feature beading, texture or color. These beaded hoops by Blu Bijoux come in two of the season’s demure pastel shades, while this rose gold pair steals the show. Channel the high seas by contrasting gold and white to achieve a chic, nautical look. A dramatic pair adds edge to your ensemble overall.
Go your own way. These chain hoop earrings by CC Skye are perfect for embodying the current heavy metal trend in an avant-garde way. Silver is also an unexpected alternative to the tried-and-true gold hoop. Be different in textured silver or a skinny hammered pair.
Style tip: don’t be afraid to don a sleek ponytail to highlight your hoops.
