Wear huggie earrings for low-maintenance elegance

Huggies are small hoop earrings that “hug” the earlobe snugly. They’re much smaller than traditional hoop earrings, but big on style. The close-fitting design is more comfortable and practical than a larger hoop. Huggies are suitable for extended wear, without the weight of bigger hoops, and they’re so comfortable you can even sleep in them.

Huggie earrings are also very versatile, easy to dress up or down depending on the occasion. From brunch to the boardroom, a cute pair of huggies will never look out of place.

Styling every occasion

Delicate vs chunky: Huggies are available in a variety of thicknesses. Whether you choose a delicate thin huggie or a chunky option will depend on your personal style and preference.

Plain vs embellished: Some huggie designs are plain hoops, while others are embedded with pearls or birthstones, or even accentuated with a dangling charm. The clean lines of plain huggies make a beautifully understated accessory for your office wear. Embellished huggies will add the finishing touch to your little black dress for a cocktail party or a night on the town, while playful charm huggies are ideal for more casual outings.

Summer vs winter: Huggies with colourful charms are great for pairing with spring and summer outfits. Check out our new blue enamel heart huggies, perfect for summer day outings. Frosty quartz or deep jewel tones are better suited to winter.

Day vs night: The right pair of plain huggies can take you effortlessly from day to night, making them a fuss-free go-to accessory. If you want something a little flashier, embellished designs like pearl huggies pair well with glam evening looks, especially with an updo to show them off.

Layered vs minimal: If you wear multiple earrings, mix and match your huggie metals and styles to create an eye-catching maximalist layered look. If you prefer to keep things sleek and simple, wear one pair of plain metallic huggies with no other jewellery, for ultimate minimalism.
