Totally Tubular
These are not your average hoops—these are packing volume with thicker, almost-juicy circular designs. The little whimsical touch is perfect for minimalist ensembles and lifting neutral colours to take the edge off. Of course, the weight of the extra metal can be a little daunting, so stick to smaller hoops to keep your ears from aching throughout the day.

The More The Merrier
There are ring stacks, wrist stacks and now, we have ear stacks. A cascade of earrings is brilliant when it comes to adding a little more personality to your outfit—you can play with mixed metals, sizes and even chains or charms. But not everyone wants to pierce their ears multiple times; instead, get yourself a pair of multi-layered hoops that give off that illusion.
