How To Wear, Style And Pick The Best Huggie Earrings

Hey there! Have you heard about the latest fashion trend taking the earring world by storm? We’re talking about huggie earrings!

Huggies earrings (also known as huggies, hinged hoops or huggers) have proven themselves to be timeless and versatile earrings that are here to stay.

These beautiful earrings are named for their unique design, based on classic hoops, that hugs the earlobe, providing a close-fitting and comfortable fit.

Based on classic hoops, huggie earrings are available in a variety of styles. From the classic and minimalist silver or gold huggie to more intricate designs featuring charms and pearl drops, there will certainly be a design that fits your style.

Huggie earrings have proven themselves again and again as stylish and incredibly versatile. Huggie earrings can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. For example, pairing a simple pair of silver or gold huggies with a casual outfit such as jeans and a t-shirt creates a stylish and laidback look. For a more “dressed up” vibe a pair of more elegant charm or pearl drop huggies with a matching statement necklace partnered with a formal outfit results in a more sophisticated look.

In this post, we will take a closer look at these trendy little accessories and discuss why they are the perfect addition to any outfit we are sure you won’t be able to get enough of.

Gold, silver, rose gold or platinum huggies?

When picking your next pair of silver or gold huggie earrings (or any other colour), metal colour is super important. Huggie earrings are available most commonly in gold, silver and rose gold; though huggies can also be found in other materials such as platinum.

• Gold huggie earrings are the most popular choice. We know gold huggies are sure to add a touch of sophistication and sparkle to any outfit. The colour of the huggies you pick will also be based on your personal preference, skin tone, wardrobe and on the other huggie earrings you already own.

• Silver huggie earrings, on the other hand, are a trendy and chic option if you prefer a cooler-toned metal. Silver huggies are also more casual and depending on your skin type may be more appropriate if your skin is sensitive to certain metals. Rest assured our earrings at Joya are made of hypoallergenic material and have surgical steel posts meaning they are perfect for sensitive ears.

• Rose gold huggie earrings are a great in-between choice. Slightly “dressier” than silver huggies, but not quite as much of a statement as gold huggies. Additionally rose gold huggies are a safe option when you are not sure if a formal or more casual outfit is expected. 

• Platinum huggie earrings are the most durable of the three and can be a great investment. Platinum huggie earrings are also a great option for those with sensitive ears. Though they can be much more expensive than other options, our earrings feature hypoallergenic posts making any colour safe for sensitive ears.

Incorporating your huggies into your wardrobe

Once you have chosen your perfect pair of silver, rose gold or gold huggie earrings it’s time to start showing them off. One of the best ways of doing this, particularly when you’re not sure where to start, is to work your huggies into a casual outfit.

It can be daunting to create a sophisticated outfit with huggie earrings as a statement piece without getting comfortable wearing them first. A pair of simple silver or gold huggies matched with jeans and a white t-shirt is a great place to start. Once you’re comfortable wearing your silver or gold huggies start experimenting and remember to have fun! If you need inspo check out our Instagram!

Another trendy way to wear huggie earrings is with other earrings! Gone are the days of just wearing one metal and one pair of earrings; mixing and matching is trending right now so why not give it a go? If you have multiple ear piercings, we recommend starting with huggies with charms or drops towards the bottoms and using more petite huggies or studs as you move up your ear. This creates a beautiful and unique stacked effect.

When mixing and matching it’s important to remember to keep it balanced and not too cluttered, if you’re not sure ask a friend for advice.

Making a statement with huggie earrings

It can be easy to make a beautiful and sophisticated statement with your silver or gold huggie earrings; here are a few ways to do just that.

Our favourite is to pick a pair of gold or silver huggie earrings with a large charm, eye-catching drop or some other design that will turn heads such as pearls or gems. These bolder huggie earrings add a touch of glamour to an outfit and are perfect for showing off your new favourite huggies. To take it to the next level, match your statement huggies with a statement necklace to create an outfit that will be unforgettable.

We also love silver or gold huggie earrings with brightly coloured stones such as red, blue or violet. These colours add a stunning pop of colour to an outfit that may be too neutral on its own and are also a great way to express your unique personality through your jewellery.

Wearing huggie earrings with your hair

When it comes to getting the most out of wearing your silver or gold huggie earrings with your hair, there are a few things to remember.

To draw attention to and show off your huggies, or any other earrings, wearing your hair back in a bun or ponytail really showcases your earrings. This draws attention to your ears and allows your huggies to sparkle for everyone to see. Though if you have shorter hair, wearing your hair in loose curls or waves helps frame your face and also draws attention to your huggie earrings.

In general, wearing your hair up is a great way to show off your huggie earrings. If you prefer wearing your hair down huggies are also a great option, huggies don’t get tangled as easily as traditional hoops might, making huggie earrings the perfect option.

Our final say

No matter how you decided to wear your huggies remember to have fun. You should feel confident and beautiful in the jewellery you wear so experiment until you find the pair and style that matches you best.

Huggies are a great addition to your look and outfit so have fun experimenting with different styles and colours until you find the ones that work best for you and your personality.

With sensitive ears, it can be hard to find beautiful silver and gold huggie earrings you can comfortably wear. All our earrings’ posts are made of hypoallergenic material, making them perfect for those of you with sensitive ears.
