You don't need us to tell you that hoop earrings are a total wardrobe classic – that's pretty much a given.
When it comes to jewellery, some are of the opinion that less is more. "Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take one thing off," is a quote most famously attributed to legendary designer Coco Chanel.
However, in the event of feeling that something is missing from your outfit, sometimes the only solution is to add something timeless.
Hoops are a bona fide jewellery classic loved by cool-girls around the globe
Hoop earrings are unrivalled in their ability to elevate and make an outfit feel more 'done'. Irrespective of size, colour, finish or price tag, the jewellery box stalwart can be relied upon to deliver instant polish.
Different occasions call for different designs: huggies for the office, classic creole hoops for the sun-soaked getaway and a pair with more pizzazz for the dance floor. There is no one-style-fits-all rule, and so you may well need some variety in your jewellery arsenal.

How we chose the pieces:
- Style: Hoops have a certain classic appeal, they're less trend-focused than other jewellery styles and can help elevate an outfit in an instant. We scoured the internet's top fashion sites to pick out the pairs that are chic, ultra-wearable and flatter the face.
- Price: Exceptional jewellery design needn't cost you a fortune. We've included the styles we're currently lusting after by some of our favourite designer jewellery labels, but we've also combed through the best of the high street to make sure there are some more affordable options too.
- Colour Variety: Gold is perhaps the obvious choice – as a general rule, pieces with yellow undertones tend to suit those with warmer skin tones, whereas white gold and silver looks exquisite on those on the cooler end of the spectrum. But we've also included some more vibrant pairs for dopamine dressing devotees.
