How To Style Everyday Hoop Earrings for Any Occasion

Hoop earrings are a timeless addition to your jewelry box, bringing elegance and sophistication to even the simplest outfit. If you want to draw attention to your luxurious earrings, going minimalist elsewhere can actually enhance the look even further.

Are you looking to bring some glamour to your casual wear - or are you planning a sophisticated, jaw-dropping outfit for a night out? Beelining for those hoop earrings is a quick and easy way to sprinkle confidence into your outfit and become your own muse.

From discreetly subtle to voluptuously bold, the choices are endless, so which ones should you choose for maximum results?

Which Size of Hoop Earrings Are Best?

All hoop earrings have their purpose. Small hoops are best for everyday style. They're small enough to fit snugly against your ears, so they won't cause distraction while you're busy. Subtle yet elegant, small hoop earrings perfectly accompany professional and smart casual outfits just as well as casual and comfortable wear. These are fantastic all-round options no matter what the occasion.

Mid-size hoops (typically 20mm to 40mm in diameter) pair perfectly with any face shape. Whether you wear your hair up or down, you won't go wrong with this size. Coming in a huge variety of styles, there is an endless combination of looks you can achieve with some medium hoop earrings.

Large hoops deliver a bold, confident look. Best kept for special occasions or glamorous affairs. Draw even more attention to your elegant jewelry by lifting your hair away from your face. Let the earrings frame your face while adding a touch of sparkle.

Which Materials Will Complete Your Look?

Many styles of hoop earrings come as simple metal bands while others can be jewel-encrusted luxurious displays of full-on glamour. Simple hoops, or those with minimalist designs, are great for everyday wear. They're noticeable and enhance your outfit without becoming the main star in the show. Slim-width earrings are perfect for enhancing your makeup, hairstyle, and outfit—but they do so with quiet subtlety. Ideal for professional settings or even just for going about your daily life.

However, if it's extravagance you're looking for, choosing a pair of earrings like Rachelment's Chloe Hoops is where it's at. Emphasizing a classic luxury, hoops like these make a statement with minimal effort. If jewels aren't your style, choosing a large diameter hoop or even opting for a thicker width can help you achieve that dramatic statement look.

Everyday And Casual Wear

You don't need a reason or a destination to get the hoop earrings out—small width, simple hoops are ideal for even the most relaxed days. If you want to give a stylishly relaxed vibe, medium-sized hoops with a simple metal finish might be all you need to complete your outfit. Thankfully, you can also pair your hoops with a matching necklace or bracelet to bring your outfit together.

No matter what outfit you're wearing, hoop earrings enhance your classiness. Whether you're in jeans and a t-shirt or smart casual attire, you can add a layer of sophistication by simply pairing your outfit with a complementary pair of earrings.

Bringing Style to The Office

If you love wearing professional clothing but feel like it could be enhanced even more with the right jewelry—you're right. Minimalist designs—those with a few gems (if any), a plain metal finish, or small-medium size hoops—are perfect. This style of hoops suits any face shape and hairstyle. You can put your earrings on full display by tying your hair back in a simple style, or you can wear your hair down, letting your earrings peek out occasionally. Either way, these earrings add an extra dimension to your sophisticated style.

Consider Rachelment's Michelle Hoops, available in gold or silver. These statement earrings are lightweight enough to be worn all day while delivering maximum style with every single wear. They pair beautifully with professional and smart casual wear.

Glamour Girl

Choosing your outfit for a night out can be tricky. But one way to enhance your look is to complement your choice with sparkling, sleek hoop earrings. Large hoops can help emphasize your neckline, drawing focus to your silhouette, while blingy earrings can ensure you capture attention.

The perfect pair of earrings can turn a sophisticated look into a jaw-dropping, head-turning visual display of bold confidence. A slimline cocktail dress emphasizes your jewelry, while a flowing evening gown can create a stylish balance.

For maximum visual impact, take a look at Rachelment's 50mm Drip Hoops. Encrusted with cubic zirconia and standing 2” in height, they deliver a glamorous look while remaining lightweight enough to keep you comfortable.

Keep It Edgy

If you want to stand out even further, you might be interested in adding a bit of edgy décor to your outfit. You'll find a wide range of rock’n’roll-inspired earrings that blend glamour with unique shapes, sizes, and styles.

If you have two piercings in your lobes, you have some interesting choices—such as the funky yet fashionable Baby Linked Huggies. These feature two small diameter hoops linked with a delicate chain. Available in gold or white gold, you can choose the metal that best matches your personality and style. The full-back closure prevents the chain from tangling, keeping it stylish and practical.

For a bolder edgy look, hoops with spikes, interesting textures, and unique decorative elements are perfect for rebellious souls.

Go All Out with Hoop Earrings for Special Occasions

Whether you're heading to a birthday party, a wedding, or even a special date, hoop earrings can elevate your look. This is the ideal situation for going all out—favoring intense textures, intricate patterns, or full-blown bling.

For a statement piece, medium or large diameter hoops are ideal. If you want to stand out, cubic zirconia-encrusted earrings are perfect. The Baguette Hoops, for example, offer a luxurious, divine touch that enhances both your outfit and your confidence.

If large diameter hoops aren’t your style, opt for a smaller but wider hoop instead. The Mykonos Hoops have an asymmetrical thickness, subtly intriguing the eye with a sleek gold or silver finish.

Hoop Earrings Are Endlessly Versatile

While there are classic outfit-hoop pairings, your style is yours alone. You can combine any hoop earrings with any outfit—as long as you love the look, that's all that matters! Some hoops are stylish yet practical—if you have a busy day, large, jewel-encrusted hoops might not be the best choice. Conversely, if you want to shine the brightest in the room, small hoops might not deliver the impact you're looking for.

When choosing your hoops, consider where you'll wear them (or how versatile they are) before making a purchase. To find your next pair of hoop earrings, browse Rachelment’s extensive catalog of hypoallergenic earrings today.
