Earring Trends: Why hoop earrings will always be in style
You may be asking yourself: are hoop earrings currently in style? The answer is: they never went out of style! Hoop earrings are one of those special silhouettes, similar to earring studs, that are timeless, and you can always find a way to integrate them into your jewelry collection.
Whether you prefer big, thin hoops, small huggie hoops, geometric hoops, or hoops dotted with diamonds, there’s a hoop earring that’s right for you. Finding a hoop earring that’s “in style” or “on-trend” is really about finding the kind of hoops that you like to wear, and making them your signature. Or, switching it up daily, if that’s your thing!
Hoop earrings are exactly what they sound like: earrings made in a circular shape that go around your ear from front to back.
Hoop earrings can come in any number of metals, from yellow and white gold, to platinum, to silver. They are also available with a variety of closures, from post backs to leverbacks to latchbacks. Typically, the larger and heavier the hoop, the stronger the closure will be, so that the hoops stay secure and comfortable on your ears.
Are hoop earrings still a trend?
Hoop earrings can’t really be called a trend, because they’re timeless. Hoop earrings have been around practically as long as jewelry, and over the centuries hoops have been used to denote status, wealth, and inclusion in specific communities.
That said, particular types of hoops may go in and out of style. Currently, hoop earrings are beloved for not only their classic quality, but for the variety you can find. If you find circular hoops aren’t for you, try square, rectangular, or even octagonal hoops! There’s a silhouette and size for every individual style.
The great thing about hoop earrings is they go with literally everything. Hoops can upgrade a casual outfit to feel a bit more put together, or complement your evening wear.
It’s also easy to wear hoops with other earrings, if you have multiple piercings in your ear. Try a stack of thin hoops, or a larger hoop followed by a huggie or stud for a more sophisticated look.
With its slightly rectangular shape and ultralight weight, the Rumi earring is the ideal hoop for daily wear. There are so many varieties of this one, including both yellow and white gold, as well as with or without diamonds.
Combining our rope-style Infinity series with the rectangular Rumi hoop earring makes for an earring that’s both easy to wear and eye-catching. These ones are extra long but still have a thin silhouette.
These octagonal hoops offer a charming alternative to a round hoop, but without removing any of the things that make hoops earrings so great. The faceting of the surface means that they reflect light beautifully.
