We’re not going to lie – we’ve loved hoop earrings since before LL Cool J made “Bamboo earrings. At least two pair” famous in his hit single Around the Way Girl. But in the last few years they virtually fell off the fashion map. Occasionally, we’d see J. Lo rocking some oversized knockers. But she’s one of the very few. Instead, this classic accessory has been replaced by newer trends including chunky chandeliers, statement studs and even ear cuffs. That was until last week when we started to spot hoops swaying out from behind hair and dangling next to tall winter collars. And we couldn’t be more thrilled. Let’s face it: there’s something undeniably flirty about a cheek-grazing hoop. We’ve done the dirty work and found the hautest hoops around.
The Trendsetter
Looking to make a statement? Hoops that have a bold pop of color or an abstract silhouette are the way to go. Not only are they conversation starters — they draw attention to your face.

The Rocker
A pair of hoops with stud or spike designs gives your look an instant edgy update; though, to be honest, those tiny silver skulls just might be our very favorite.

The Bohemian
This season’s most buzzed about trend: Tribal! Combining linear shapes and earthy materials, we can’t get enough of this cool style. And while they stray away from traditional they still maintain a classic feel.
