To wonder if hoop earrings are tacky ?

[Lardlizard]

The larger kind

Also the "chav" connection with the tracksuit etc is another underclass.

Burberry’s brand suffered terribly with that in the late 1990s!

Don't know, don't care.
I wear them sometimes as I like them.

Cheap = tasteless and common.

They can look tacky and chavvy or they can look really nice.

I quite like them and have several pairs, but how they look depends on the style, material and overall outfit in my opinion.

I love hoops. And I'd like to think I'm not tacky!

Who cares.

Not tacky, but I recently met a woman at a wedding who was wearing them - and carrying a 1yo baby. She had to keep ducking and weaving to avoid them being grabbed

Yes I don't like the small to medium sized ones either, I can't quite put my finger on why. I either go big or go home when it comes to hoop earrings.

I wear gold hoops every day - I have about 20 different pairs and I love them.

@MakeItFappy, sorry but I think that article is bullshit. Anyone can wear any style of bloody earrings they want. Criticising ethnic minority women for wearing them is racist bullshit, and accusing white women of cultural appropriation for wearing them is just stupid bullshit. And a little girl stealing jewellery is a little girl stealing jewellery and absolutely nothing to do with cultural appropriation.

I find them very tacky. I was having this convo with my OH the other day actually 🤣

I wear hoops all the time - quite thin, fairly large gold ones. I usually pair them with dresses and natural make-up and I love them. I think they can be worn lots of ways.

I've looked into the cultural appropriation thing quite a bit and I think in this instance it has more significance in the US than in the UK. Happy to be told I'm wrong though.

I really like them but I don’t think they can ever look classy and smart like a very small pair of stud earrings can or a small drop dangly earring. That doesn’t matter if you like them though. Fashion should be fun!

I love a big hoop! not day to day just if out on a proper night out.

Do you think they look tacky? If so, don't wear them. If not, wear them. Jesus Christ can no one think for themselves anymore?

Not something I wear personally, statement jewellery isn’t me, but I like them on other people.

If worn with a stupid bun right on the top of your head yes.
If you are a classy kind of lady you can get away with it but quite honestly they are a bit Eastenders.

Lets face it, hoops were disapproved of because they were traditionally worn by ethnic minorities

Yep, disapprove of others that wear them, but steal it for yourselves.
How terribly British Empire.

Not if your a Gypsy.

Motsi had a lovely pair on strictly the other night I wanted to go for a swing on them

I think large gold hoops (yellow, not pale gold) with jumpsuit, neat hair and heels look glamorous on some ladies I’ve seen. Confidence and poise definitely help.

This would be funny if it wasn't so sad.
Hoops are part of some peoples culture, but of course anyone is free to wear them.
Don't wear them if you don't want to, it isn't difficult.

I only wear hoops, they go with my flowing dresses, headscarf, red lipstick and scarf.
For the ignorant a chav is a young Romany lad, who wouldn't have ears pierced as deemed feminine, and certainly against the culture.

The bigger the hoop, the bigger the Ho

As the saying goes

Personally I love hoops, they take a certain attitude to carry off. I don’t wear them enough.

You can wear anything you like, pearls are classic but can look fuddy duddy and blousy but someone likes them who cares?

No one has the overall rule of what is stylish. Wear what you want with pride. Haters gonna hate
