Hoop Earrings Buying Guide
Hoop earrings are this season’s hottest jewelry piece. Ideal for everyday or even formal wear, a pair of hoops is great to own. But since jewelry fashion has a way of diversifying classic pieces and creating new exciting styles, you can now find different types of hoops. Which hoop earrings you get is up to you, of course, but we have decided to make your choice easier and let you know what to look for when buying hoops. Read further to discover different hoop styles and ideas.
Clasps for Hoop Earrings
One of the first things you should consider is the clasp. Some women can’t wear certain types of clasps depending on the anatomy of their ear, skin sensitivity, and comfort. Comfort is crucial because if your earlobes get uncomfortable, you won’t wear those earrings again, no matter how much you love them.
With hoop earrings, you mostly get five types of clasps:
Hollow-Sleeve Closure: The most common hoop clasp, especially for big hoop earrings that create a full circle. A thin post goes through the hollow end, held together by tension.
Snap-Hinged Closure: Features a thin post on a hinge on one end and a Y-shaped piece on the other. The earring closes when the post snaps down into the Y-shaped piece.
Post Closure: Seen on hoops that don’t form a full circle. The post goes through the ear piercing and is secured with a back piece. Not ideal for heavy hoops as they put pressure on the earlobe.
Hidden Clasp: Popular for giving the illusion of no clasp. It uses a snap-hinged mechanism, but the hoop extends above the clasp.
Hook Closure: A simple mechanism that uses a hook to secure the earring. Often seen in dangle hoop earrings.
Hoop Earring Sizes
Hoops come in different sizes and styles. Each size offers something unique, so let’s see what hoop size you should get according to your style.
Oversized Hoops
Great for bold women who love to attract attention. They look great with a tank top, cuff jeans, and a headband. Suitable for night outs or cocktail parties, but not recommended for work or business meetings.

Medium-Sized Hoops
A classic choice, versatile enough for both formal and casual outfits. Preferred by women with a classy and fun style.
