If you like them, wear them. Who cares what others think?

DdraigGoch · 14/08/2021 13:48

I'm confused as to what the voting options do.

I don't see many hooped earring when out and about so I suppose that means they're out of fashion.

AlexaShutUp · 14/08/2021 13:48

I honestly have no idea, but if you like them, that's all that matters.

YoungBritishPissArtist · 14/08/2021 13:49

If you like them, wear them - what's your issue? You don't want people thinking you're a poor person?

Thekormachameleon · 14/08/2021 13:51

Who cares ! If you like them wear them

I will be buried with my hoops, they are part of me 😂

Wheretobuy · 14/08/2021 13:56

YABU for using the word chav. No one cares.

Lockheart · 14/08/2021 13:58

Do what you like, it's presumably your money and your clothing.

ikeepseeingit · 14/08/2021 13:59

I think it just depends on how you’re otherwise presenting yourself as with most things really. I like hoops and I’m early 20s, don’t care what anyone else thinks though 🤣 I’ve always look at other women with hoops and thought they looked gorgeous. Idk if that helps you?

DarkDarkNight · 14/08/2021 14:00

Wear what you want and what suits.

Huggies which are very small hoops which hug the ear are popular especially with multiple piercings.

Iamclaracowbell · 14/08/2021 14:04

I only really wear hoops, pretty big ones, and I'm almost 50. I like how they look on me and they suit how I like to dress.

Maireas · 14/08/2021 14:22

No such thing.
Buy them, wear them and enjoy them!

TableNiner · 14/08/2021 14:29

This would be better in Style and Beauty.

I think generally they are a classic especially small ones. Larger ones can look a little bit cheap.

milcal · 14/08/2021 14:33

They are always in fashion. Just depends on the size and style.

Ofnorman · 14/08/2021 14:35

Are you worried you will be shunned? Grin

SquirryTheSquirrel · 14/08/2021 14:43

I think the ginormous ones are out of fashion but small hoops are a classic in my opinion.

girlmom21 · 14/08/2021 14:44

No specific item is 'chavvy', surely? It's how they're matched with outfits, hairstyles etc that determine whether they're suited or out of place.

TwilightSkies · 14/08/2021 15:05

What do you mean by chavvy?

fringeneedsatrim · 14/08/2021 15:08

Yes, YABU to ask that question.

HorseChestnutTree · 14/08/2021 15:18

I love them, I have some really big ones, in silver and some coloured ones. Don't care if they are considered chavvy.

TwoZeroTwoZero · 14/08/2021 15:19

Like these or bigger?

I wear these all the time and no-one has ever said anything (though I wouldn't care if they did). I would wear bigger ones but I'm afraid of catching them at work and being pulled out.

Wear what you want and don't give a toss about others' opinions.

I think they're fine! I have multiple ear piercings and these stay in 24/7
Awkward angle as I have ridiculous tiny ears Blush

RockyisMYRhino · 14/08/2021 15:40

I have 3 hoops in one ear and five in the other. I often find that because they are fairly slim and not the sort you could mistake for a budgie swing, most people don't even notice them! If you like the hoops then wear them, you're not asking anyone else to!

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 14/08/2021 15:58

Sleepers or huggies are nice .
(I cannot wear them at work though)

I have some smaller than the tip of my pinkie but I have small lobes .

I like the bigger hoops but not when they're on your shoulder ! Or ones that drag the ear-hole down.

Hoops are a classic they will always be in fashion.
