As much as we love the simplicity of stud earrings, and the joy of statement earrings, it's gold hoop earrings that have become a fundamental part of any woman's essential wardrobe. Whether you are more inclined to a paired-down silhouette or prefer whimsical finishes, they have become jewellery’s answer to the perfect pair of jeans: the best hoop earrings are a true staple, but with plenty of different styles. Everyone has their own preferred shape, size or metal of hoops, but most look great in them. Revered as the go-to accessory by models, fashion fiends and celebrities alike, Kendall Jenner, Rihanna and Hailey Beiber, to name a few, a simple pair of hoops can give an instant air of 'it girl' to any wearer.
These little fail-safe treasures can accompany any casual spring outfit seamlessly, right now we are loving pairing our golden goodies with a camel coatRosie Huntington-Whiteley style, with a bucket hat and summer dress to finish off the ensemble. Or, work well for evenings out, with a party dress and vertiginous heels.
If you are looking to maximise your minimalist ensemble, look to Jil Sander’s modern take on the classic hoop. Looking to sparkle while out on the town? Take note from Theodora Warre or Annoushka and add a pair of crystal or emerald encrusted hoops for an elevated iteration. Any way you look at it, twisted, enamel, sparkly or refined: the humble hoop can be your cherry on top of the cake, a simple flourish for the finest finishing touch.
