Hoop Earrings


There are many different types and styles of hoop earrings out in the world today. The only problem with this is how do you know which pair is the right one for you. Do you need the ones that are so big that they almost touch your neck? Or do you need the ones that are so small that they almost don’t clear your ear lobe? The answer that most people will give you is usually something like just pick whatever you want I’m sure it will look good. Well just like a pair of glasses it all depends on the person as to whether or not they need the big ones or the small ones or somewhere in between.  There are a couple of steps involved when picking out a pair of hoop earrings.

The first step is figuring out which kind of hoops you want. This step is crucial to your success in finding the right pair. Do you want pave diamond hoop earrings? You know the ones that have the diamonds wrapped like paver stones all along the hoop, or do you just want diamond hoop earrings? Do you like rhinestone hoop earrings?  Or do all of these make you sick and you just like it plain Jane? All of these things need to be considered when buying a pair. This is probably going to be the easiest part of the process and the hardest because it will be based on what you like.

After you have picked out the style that you want it’s time to get to the part that most people forget to tell you. Your face shape just like when choosing glasses plays a major role when choosing hoop earrings no matter the kind.

 If your face is more of a rounded shape then you are better off with dangle hoop earrings that are on the smaller and slimmer side.

If your face is more of an oval shape then this will allow you to get more of a wide range of oval hoop earrings.

If you have a slender neck then you are able to pretty much get whatever type of hoop earring you choose as they accent your features very well.

While talking about the face you may want to tone down on the striking makeup when wearing hoops as they draw more attention to your face than normal and too much makeup will look cheap.

Hairstyle is another big factor when choosing hoops. Hoop earrings can be worn with anything yes this is the beauty of them but at times they look better with certain things than others. In general keep your hair down when wearing large hoop earrings and keep it up when wearing small hoop earrings.

So the next time you go to pick out a set of hoop earrings remember they are going on your ears not someone else’s so pay attention to how they look on you not a movie star.
