The one accessory every girl needs!
Ever since getting my doubles pierced (after 5 years of walking back & forth in front of Claire’s stores working up the courage), I have been so focused on my earring game.
I have been rockin’ hoops since I was young, but with the recent resurgence of the large hoops (*thank you Khloe Kardashian), I have been scouring stores more than ever for the perfect pair.
Here’s the thing about hoops: They go with EVERYTHING. Sweats, gowns, jeans, anything. I think every girl should have at least one solid pair of go-to’s in their arsenal.
The biggest challenge I have faced thus far is finding a pair that doesn’t tarnish when wearing them in the shower, sleeping or basically just living my life because let’s face it, I am very lazy and want to leave the perfect pair of earrings in for as long as possible. So, I have found that investing in something a little more expensive with higher quality materials will save me money in the long run!
Here are 4 hoops every girl needs and how to style them.
The Classic Big Hoops
Whether you are a gold, silver or rose gold gal, you need to get your hands on some big hoops. Really the bigger the better!
How to style: I have worn big gold hoops for the past 4 years with every type of outfit possible. Jeans and sweaters, dresses, and lately I’ve been loving them with athleisure - my new favorite style!
The best part of these hoops is that they are super lightweight and the perfect size so you honestly forget they are there!
2. The Non-traditional hoop
It took everything in me to not splurge on these beauties. I think changing up from the traditional hoops adds a little extra spunk that sets you apart! The shape of these beauties is what immediately caught my eye - they aren’t like anything I’ve seen before!
How to style: I would style these for an everyday work look. Whether it be business casual or fancy corporate style, these are perfect for all outfits! I love the look of these with a messy bun pulling my hair away from my face so that you can really see the hoop!
3. The textured hoop
Adding a little texture to your hoops totally determines the vibe of your outfit. I think that these ‘bubbly’ hoops are a fun everyday hoop. Call me crazy but something about them reminds me of Spring/Summer.
How to style: I immediately picture these with blue jeans, a white tee and some wavy hair either naturally flowing or in a low bun with front pieces hanging out. Style this with some layered gold necklaces and violá!
4. The dangling hoop
I have noticed chain linked jewelry is making it’s comeback and these earrings are the perfect nod to that! These are quite obviously not your traditional hoop, but they do include the element of a hoop that we all love.
How to style: I think with these you can do no wrong pulling your hair back into a slick pony and letting these be the star of the show! I can see these for a night out in all black paired with lots of gold rings to make your accessories pop!
Did you order some hoops yet? Like I said before, there is a lot to consider when finding the ‘perfect hoop’ but what can help is looking for high quality materials that will last you forever!
Cheers!
