The most flattering hoop earrings for your face and style
There’s an unwritten rule in the world of jewellery that all fashion lovers know well: hoop earrings never go out of style. The reason this accessory always has a reserved spot in our jewellery boxes lies in its versatility and ability to reinvent itself without losing its essence. They suit everyone, regardless of generation, adding a touch of attitude and style with minimal effort.
However, although hoop earrings are versatile pieces, it’s important to know which styles suit you best depending on your face shape and personal style. This way, you not only elevate any outfit but also enhance your features and project an aesthetic that aligns with your personality.
Below, we present an essential guide to help you choose the hoop earrings that suit you best. They’ll become a key piece in your jewellery collection!
Hoop earrings according to your face shape
The balance between shape and proportion can completely transform a look. Beyond trends, it's about knowing your features and learning how to highlight them subtly. That’s why understanding your face shape will help you select hoop earrings that harmonise with your features.
Oval face
An oval face is considered ideal due to its symmetry and balanced proportions. This means you can experiment with all types of hoop earrings. From small, subtle hoops to large, bold ones – all styles flatter these features.
If you want to try something more unusual, go for hoops with geometric shapes or double hoops to add an original twist that perfectly suits your features.
Long face
Long faces have more length than width. Hoop earrings are ideal for balancing these proportions. Large, horizontally-oriented hoops work best, as they help soften facial lines. Thick, rounded hoops – such as chunky silver or gold styles – add visual volume and shorten the face. Avoid long and/or thin designs, as they may elongate the face further.
Round face
A round face features soft lines and rounded shapes. Earrings should aim to elongate and balance the features. Long or oval-shaped hoops are ideal. Thin hoops or ones with geometric shapes also work well, adding structure while maintaining a gentle aesthetic.
Square or rectangular face
These face shapes are marked by a defined jawline and strong lines. The aim is to soften these features. Round hoops or those with curved designs are perfect for creating balance. Medium to large hoops will also help smooth the proportions. However, avoid very straight or angular hoops, as they can emphasise facial angles.
Heart-shaped face
Heart-shaped faces have a broader forehead and a narrower jaw, forming an inverted triangle. Teardrop-shaped hoops or designs with volume at the bottom help balance these proportions. Rounded hoops are also ideal for softening the jawline.
Triangular face
Triangular faces have a narrow forehead and a wider jaw, so the goal is to add volume at the top and soften the jawline. Large hoops, especially oval or asymmetric designs, can help balance the face.
Hoop earrings according to your style
While your face shape is important when choosing the right hoops, it’s also essential that they match your personal style – as earrings often become an extension of your visual identity.
Below are some of the most popular styles and the types of hoop earrings that best suit each.
Classic style
Those with a classic style value simplicity, elegance, and timelessness. Medium-sized, slim hoops with clean and elegant lines – avoiding textures or geometric shapes – are the perfect choice for this aesthetic.
Bohemian style
This relaxed and free-spirited look is known for its flowy, natural, and creative vibe. Large hoops with unconventional shapes or textures, or even double hoops, are great options to enhance the boho look.
Modern style
A style that embraces current trends and stays up to date. Incorporating hoop earrings into this aesthetic adds balance to the look while following fashion-forward cues. Choose original designs, mixed metals (such as yellow and white gold), or fluid, less structured shapes.
Romantic style
For a soft, delicate, and graceful style, the perfect hoops are those with gentle details – think filigree, heart, or floral motifs. These earrings should add sweetness without appearing childish, offering a vintage, almost poetic touch to complement floaty fabrics, floral prints, and ethereal silhouettes.
Minimalist style
Minimalist hoops should feature clean, refined designs: thin, small, and ornament-free. These pieces aren’t meant to stand out but to blend in naturally, providing balance. They’ll never go out of fashion.
Hoop earrings according to the occasion
Hoop earrings easily adapt to any setting. They’re perfect for everyday wear as well as more special events.
- Everyday wear: Choose small or medium designs, thin and unembellished. They add a subtle and discreet touch to any outfit.
- Formal settings: Opt for polished and understated hoops that look elegant without compromising the formality.
- Special occasions: Go for large, voluminous hoops to make them the standout feature of your look.
How to style hoop earrings
To make your hoop earrings stand out, keep a few things in mind. For maximum impact, wear your hair up – sleek ponytails, low buns, or braids – to show off your earrings and draw attention to your face. If you wear your hair down, opt for chunkier designs so they don't get lost in the movement of your hair.
As for other accessories, less is more: if you choose statement hoops, it’s best to keep the rest of your accessories subtle to avoid overdoing it. With more understated hoop designs, decide where you want the focal point to be and build the rest of your look around that.
Choosing the right hoop earrings depends on your face shape, personal style, and other factors such as the occasion, hairstyle, or size of the earrings. Don’t be afraid to explore different designs and pick your favourite from our collection. Have you discovered your perfect pair of hoops yet?
