Hoop earrings?

I love them and always have but been told they look "cheap" and "Chavy"

I think they look fabulous. Do you wear them? Should I wear them?

Usually with jeans, band t-shirt, lob hair cut, trainers/flats

How big? I wear them - but not huge ones.

ItMustBeBedtimeSurely · 31/10/2019 07:26

If you love them, wear them. Plus if it helps they are on trend at the moment, especially gold hoops.

millstonegrit · 31/10/2019 07:28

I wear them almost every day! I am told that I am stylish many times and I suppose they are a signature look for me. Wear them with pride!

SallyAnne89 · 31/10/2019 07:32

Not too my shoulders but not tiny either, just thin plain gold.

Silver is more my colour but I wear them every day. They only look chavvy (as you put it) if the rest of the outfit is. With regular clothing they are normal.

Aderyn19 · 31/10/2019 08:40

I have medium size silver ones (gold doesn't really suit me). I think they are nice.

KondoKonvert · 31/10/2019 09:34

I love my gold hoops. Thin and not massive.

I wear mine with floral midi dresses or a top and jeans.

They only look cheap if they're enormous or too thick (IMO)

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 31/10/2019 10:18

Love mine, I have 2 pairs, both gold, one small (1.8cm) from astley clarke and one larger (3.5cm?) from Otiumberg. As a PP said, they are on trend at the moment. I wouldn't wear them any larger though.

IHaveBrilloHair · 31/10/2019 10:21

I love them, but then I sometimes wear scarves indoors so clearly I know nothing

SallyAnne89 · 31/10/2019 10:24

Yeah I wear scarfs inside too. They are the same ones I wear out with my coat though

Hoop earrings seem to be pretty in at the moment, there are loads around in places like Mango, Zara eat al.

I live in my Madewell chunky hoops (annoyingly John Lewis seem to have stopped selling them), which are literally the most comfortable earrings I have ever owned and go with everything. They do loads of different styles and sizes and I've just been eyeing up some this morning to ask for for Christmas as it happens!

CravingCheese · 31/10/2019 16:12

They're ok. Sometimes a bit bland and I personally admittedly really don't like the large(r), thin hoops.... I just find those so incredibly boring!

And yes I also regularly wear my 'outdoor scarf' indoors...

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 31/10/2019 21:42

I cannot wear them for work but I've got some thin gold sleepers , they'd fit midway down my finger , and a tiny gold nose ring that I wear in my 2nd .

I don't like the big hoops at all

toycar · 01/11/2019 10:15

they've never been out or in - to me, they are a classic style.

agree with others, its totally about the entire look as to whether they look tacky, on trend or classic.

I wear mine with silk blouses, jeans, pointed court shoes and a high end hand bag as my go to casual night out look.

ReginaGeorgeous · 01/11/2019 10:25

I think hoop earrings are a classic choice. I am wearing huggie hoops at the moment, my baby son is at the age where he pulls my hair all the time so I can't really wear anything bigger.

theemmadilemma · 01/11/2019 11:37

It's completely how you style them. I have large heart hoops on right now with a high neck jumper and jeans. It balances out the look really nicely.

youngestisapsycho · 01/11/2019 11:49

I had some on the other day.... my 17 yr old DD looked at me and said
'the bigger the hoop, the bigger the ho'!!

Miseryisabutterfly · 01/11/2019 12:07

I love them, but only with my hair down. I wear quite big, thick ones most days. I also have triple hoops, which I also love.

Miseryisabutterfly · 01/11/2019 12:08

Also also 😳

peachgreen · 01/11/2019 12:28

I love them. I wear them every day - I have about ten different pairs. I have big curly hair and my hoops look great against it.

GVmama · 01/11/2019 14:20

Yep I love a hoop earring. Not too big (for me) and always silver for me, but only because gold doesn’t flatter my skin tone.

BubblesBuddy · 01/11/2019 14:40

I have a couple of pairs of small diamond ones in white gold and yellow gold. I have drops to hang from them if I want. I have white gold diamond hoops that are about 2 Cm and gold faceted ones which are quite small but look good. I would avoid creole ones and big ones.

Mummyshark2018 · 01/11/2019 14:41

I wear them and they look lovely imo
