Stay In Fashion, With Hoop Earrings

Bella Hadid. Selena Gomez. Jennifer Lopez! What do these megastars have in common? While they are known for their incredible star power, they're also influential fashion icons. One trend that they all swear by is adorning hoop earrings. 

Transforming your look from day to night, casual to formal, hoop earrings have the power to elevate any outfit through their statement-making appeal. Hoop earrings are lightweight circular jewelry pieces primarily designed from metals. They feature a wire closure that passes through your ear piercing. From super delicate and thick to tube-like or gemstone-encrusted pieces, hoop earrings come in various styles and sizes that scream girl power like no other jewel. They are available in different shapes, such as the classic round, oval, and triangle. Are you interested to learn more about these gorgeous earrings? Let's deep-dive into the details.

Hoop earrings originated in 2500 BC in Nubia, Africa, where Sumerian women wore gold, silver, and bronze jewelry. Over time, this trend spread to other civilizations such as ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, and Asia.

Hoop earrings became a symbol of diverse cultural values over the centuries. They became emblems of enhanced beauty, royalty, wealth, and power. In the 1600s, the craze of hoop earrings went down due to the surge in newer styles such as elaborate hairdos, accessories, collared shirts, and delicate jewels.

The 1900s, however, saw the revival of the hoop earrings, as the Latin and the Black community wore them as modern symbols of power-resilience and a voice against discrimination.

Alternatively, the circular shape of the hoops represents unity, infinity, and completion, denoting a powerful woman's strength of character, identity, and empowerment. A timeless jewel, no wonder, hoops are very popular in international fashion circles.

Women find hoop earrings liberating as they can express their individuality fashionably through them. Furthermore, the influence of pop culture and celebrity role models have etched a special place for hoop earrings amongst today's youth.

From rocking the chic denim look to looking sophisticated on a date, hoop earrings are highly versatile pieces. They come in an array of creative designs for various occasions, ranging from simplistic and minimal to bold and daring. 

Huggies have a soft yet classy appeal and are ideal for wearing on a romantic dinner or at work. 

Pearl hoops are eternally iconic and as graceful as they can get. They look stunning and very lady-like while lending a formal air to your attire. Geometric and stacked hoops are extremely fashion-forward, which makes heads turn. As for diamond hoops, they firmly prove that diamonds are indeed a girl's best friend. Nothing beats their shiny glory.

Hoops are also known to draw attention to your face directly. Their round shape compliments your jaw and cheekbones, thereby defining your features. Bigger hoops frame your face better, making you look sharper. (More on this ahead)

While hoop earrings are worthy jewelry to uplift your looks, two other powerful accessories work like magic and set a true style diva apart! And they are your dazzling smile and an outpour of confidence. Nothing lights up the room like a self-assured, confident woman with a pleasing personality; they make you a force to reckon with.

Wearing jewelry has no definitive rules. However, certain earrings highlight different face shapes, flatter specific features, and enhance one’s beauty. From various designs, choose the one that complements your features and makes you look terrific.

Round hoop earrings look seamless with a square-shaped face. Since such a facial structure is defined by strong angles, a broad forehead, and a chiseled jawline, a classic pair of hoops balances the sharp features with their simplicity. If you have a square face, choose medium to large-sized round or oval-shaped earrings. They will make you look drop-dead gorgeous! Refrain from square or hexagonal hoops as they would not be very flattering to your face cut.

Huggies specifically look charming on an oval face. Most earring designs are compatible with an oval face; the softer facial structure balances out the sharpness of the earrings, seamlessly flattering your cheekbones and face length.
