Fashion Hoop Earrings

Make sure they look good on your skintone. That means, know if cool (silver, platinum, white gold) or warm (yellow gold, rose gold, etc.) colored metals suit you better. Click here to determine your best colors.

For versatility, choose hoop earring styles that blend well with most of your outfits. So go for basic round or oval, in either small (5/8 - 1 inch) or classic-medium size (1 1/2 - 2 inches)

Buy high-quality earrings that are durable and can be worn for years to come. So secure hoops which consist of sterling silver or 14/18k real gold. These have a less chance of tarnishing compared to 8 dollar plated hoop earrings.

What size should you choose? If you want something cute and a bit discreet then go for smaller and thinner hoop earrings. The classic "standard" size is 1 1/2 - 2 inches and give a timeless but trendy look. But if you want to create a more dramatic fashion statement try thicker or/and larger hoops like huggie hoop earrings or the popular bamboo hoop earrings. 5/8 to 1 1/2 inch hoops are the most versatile sizes that go with absolutely everything. Plus, they're appropriate for both casual and semi-formal occasions. Not to mention practical. No need to worry about hitting anyone with them or getting them tangled. However, larger hoops are suitable for casual events and project a more trendier look.

Note: Large hoops look good on wide and round faces as they give the impression of a smaller face.

Here are examples of versatile and classic earring hoops:

Scale them to your face's size. Medium to thick hoops compliment wide, full and/or strong face shapes. Thinner hoops look best on fine-boned, smaller faces as they don't overwhelm the size of the face.
