Picking an earring on a regular day or a special occasion is no easy task for fashion girls, it’s a fact. And with so many options to choose from, it does require some forethought before picking a pair. Let’s take a look at two of the most popular earring styles in a sea of myriad earring options – hoop and huggie earrings. There are some similarities and some significant differences between the two.
Hoop Earrings Vs Huggie Earrings
To understand the differences, you’ll first need to understand what they mean. Hoop earrings are essentially circular loops of metal, plain or embellished. While most hoop earrings are a perfect round, modern iterations also include oval and geometric shapes. They come in a variety of sizes ranging from medium to giant ones. Huggie earrings on the other hand are on the smaller side. They are designed to ‘hug’ your lobes and do not extend in diameter beyond that. In a way, huggie earrings are a subset of the traditional hoops, and they are also called huggie hoops.
Huggie earrings aren’t always statement-making unless they are really chunky and heavily embellished. Unlike regular hoops, they can be worn on the lobe piercings as well as on the helix, forward helix and the tragus.
Below are some of the cute hoop earrings to consider for your next earring purchase, feast your eyes…
