The wear with everything accessory, the hoop earring, is back this summer to add an element of fun to your wardrobe.
Whether your wardrobe’s a neat capsule of rotating basics or filled to the brim with pretty printed pretty dresses, shirts and skirts, the right jewellery has the power to add a finishing touch to any outfit. It can add edge, polish or just an element of fun.
From sculptural, statement-making resin styles from independent labels, to mini huggie hoops pioneered by those New York cool-girl labels - the humble earring has been through as many reinventions as Madonna. And summer 2020 is the turn of the big, bold hoop.
Stylist’s fashion director Arabella Greenhill says: “I’m lazy when it comes to my jewellery; I find something I love and wear it every day. Hoops are my go-to earring of choice. Try wearing them with tiny huggie hoop earrings if you have extra piercings.”
Everything from skinny to chunky, gold to silver and embellished to sculptural all work. Buy one new pair, in your metal of choice, and wear them with other tones – either with other earrings or with necklaces and bracelets too. Mixing and matching means you can incorporate current jewellery and really make your look your own.
