• In oval, diamond, heart and triangular faces, the best looking hoop earrings are the round and classic ones. Likewise, this type of faces allows you to bet on models of various sizes and with more innovative designs.
• For elongated and round faces, medium-sized earrings with a complementary structure to their features (short and rounded in the first case and long with irregular shapes in the second) are the ones that would best stylize their physiognomy.
• On square or rectangular faces, they go perfectly with longer hoop earrings or with pendants to create a harmonious ensemble.

How to combine hoop earrings?

Hoop earrings are perfect for any occasion. They can be worn on a daily basis, but they are also a great success for more formal events. Nor is there a preference to use them better during the day or at night, since each moment demands its types of earrings, nor a specific time of year, although in spring and summer they are fantastic. Depending on the design of the ring itself, it will be advisable to combine them in one way or another.

Playing with different sizes of hoops in the ears can create a halo of sophistication and elegance in the look, but always respecting the material used and the line used. In this way, you can create from more casual and fun styles (with colored stone earrings or earrings with pendants, for example) to more mysterious and evocative looks (with complementary designs in 18-carat gold). The final result, regardless of the style you are looking for, will be an original and unique fusion.

Wearing hoop earrings with your hair down, in a bouncy updo, or with a polished chignon can also change the final look of your look, making it look more elegant or more natural. Depending on the look you want to achieve, you can also bet on using one type of hoop or another. Here are some good combinations:

• If you are looking for a discreet and simple look, perfect for day to day, smooth and small hoop earrings are the best option. You can choose them with a touch of color or multicolored to subtract a little seriousness from the outfit.
• If you like to innovate with your outfits, you can also transfer this to your hoop earrings. Choose transgressive designs, instead of choosing the typical round ring. The options are many, with multiple rings, with pendants or innovative shapes.
