Hoop earrings come in various shapes and sizes, so there is almost an infinite number of different looks you can create. Small hoops tend to work best when your hair is up or tied back so that you get the full benefit. Large hoops work well with hair up or down and can be used to make more of a dramatic statement. Hoop earrings are a great way of adding colour and interest to a more simple look, or elevating your style with a touch of drama or glamour. You can also pair your hoop earrings with other complementary jewellery pieces, such as a simple yet elegant necklace. Hoop earrings may be hinged or clasped with a loop. To put them on, undo the hinge or loop and hold with the opening facing upwards. With one hand on either side of the opening, you may need to slightly twist the hoop open by pushing one hand forwards and the other back. You should then be able to slide the earring into your ear.
