What Are Huggie Earrings And Why Do You Need Them In Your Wardrobe?

Trends come and go, but huggie earrings aren't going anywhere. Since being introduced, this earring style is everywhere, quickly becoming a favorite for all kinds of jewelry wearers. As the name suggests, huggie earrings are small hoops that hug the earlobe, explains Aquila Jewellery, and come with lever or hinged latch closings, which make them comfortable to wear and easy to put on. Plus, there's no threat of losing the back of your earrings.

They're also lightweight, so they can be ideal for someone with sensitive earlobes, or if you're concerned about heavy earrings stretching your lobes. And because they're lightweight, they're easy to wear for long periods of time and make great pairs to take while traveling. Beyond the traditional lobe piercing, you can also wear huggies in tragus, helix, and forward helix piercings. Simple and stylish, they're a great basic accessory that will go with a variety of outfits. They can be sleek gold or silver hoops or have more intricate designs and patterns on them.

You can link them

Most pairs of huggie earrings are simple metallic hoops. But if you're looking for more intricate styles, you can link huggie earrings. Many jewelry companies that sell huggie earrings also have hoops or links that you can slip on to create a chain-like design for your earrings. It's a great way to customize your earrings and create new styles without having to buy multiple pairs.

They are great in earring stacks

Because huggie earrings are small and tend to be on the simpler style side, they make a great addition to earring stacks. If you have multiple piercings in one ear like a constellation piercing, huggie earrings can work in one or a few holes. Huggie earrings look great with both studs and larger hoops and can create a customized look when mix and matched with other earrings.

They can add some color

Huggie earrings usually come in a gold or silver metal, but there are many pairs that have enamel surfaces that can provide a little color or pattern. They're simple but can add that pop your outfit might be missing. So if you're someone who prefers a simple or minimal style with an infusion of color, these are the perfect earrings for you. Of course, you'll be able to add the charms and hoops for a more customized look.

Bring in a little shimmer

Huggie earrings with gemstones are a cute idea for a personalized look. These earrings add a bit of shimmer to your outfit with ease. They look great on their own but also work as part of a stack throughout the ear. Look for a collection of colorful gemstones, or choose huggie earrings with your birthstone. The shiny additions will add a bit of glamor to your look.

Minimalistic texture

Sometimes something simple can make a huge impact. Instead of looking for huggie earrings with a smooth surface, look for ones with a little bit of texture or in an interesting shape. Squiggly hoops or hexagons make for modern earrings with unique appeal. And twisted or ribbed surfaces are a play on the classic hoop.
