When I got my ears pierced I was clearly told by my mother : no dangly earrings . That lasted a hot second 'cause the only thing on my agenda was HOOPS !
Silver Hoops. You can't go wrong.
You can wear them with jeans, a sweatshirt , big scarf, high pony tail and a pair of vicious boots.
You can wear them on a night out where you're scared you may be overdressed so you tone it down with casual Silver Hoops.
You can wear them with a tracksuit and Timberland boots like in the 90's.
I have had my share of Silver Hoops. I've been wearing them for about 11 years . So here is my Silver Hoop knowledge if you are looking to try a pair ...
1. Get the kind that close in a full circle shape: the stem goes into the Hoop at the back making a full circle. The other (useless) kind close with a butterfly or a hook and leave a gap in the Hoop. Why the closed ones? because the open ones get caught in your hair, scarf ... and either fall out or kill off your earlobes.
2.Don't bother spending any money on them. The fact is Hoops break .Trust me. I have had loads of "nice" pairs and they all died. Not worth it.
3. Don't get the thick ones. They will make your earlobes go south.
So where should you go for Silver Hoops ? Claire's.
Yes, you can get a few pairs of different size Hoops all on one earring carton at a reasonable price. They are not thick but not flimsy either. They close perfectly at the back and when they go a bit rusty bin 'em and go get some more because they are cheap anyway !
So the moral of the story is : get to Claire's and grab some Silver Hoops because they are a Timeless Classic.
Hoops at Christmas !
Much love and shoes,
à bientôt,
