We need to talk — about hoop earrings. This fashion accessory has been lurking around — not for seasons — but for years, slowly carving itself a niche in the world of stylish statement accessories. “Hoop earrings are universally loved and have always been trendy, but they’ve come back in a big way,” says celebrity stylist Ami Patel, whose client Alia Bhatt is a huge fan. “Their design is simple and they instantly light up the face,” she adds.
This versatile accessory has made its presence felt everywhere from Hollywood to Bollywood: Selena Gomez, Jennifer Lopez, Rihanna, Kendall Jenner, Sonam Kapoor Ahuja, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Priyanka Chopra are just some of the names on its long list of supporters. “Hoops come in all sizes, though I would recommend skipping the smallest-sized ones. It’s important to pick one that works for your face structure, so if you have a small face, avoid the XXL hoops,” says Ami.
“The best part about hoop earrings is that they work perfectly with everything in your wardrobe — from day dresses and casual jeans-and-top combos to Indian ethnicwear,” says Ami. What’s more, your earrings don’t need to be the only accessory you wear. “Add thin jewellery, stackable rings or chains to accentuate your look,” she says.
