One of the latest trends in jewellery, huggie earrings have a place in everybody’s jewellery box. Whether you tend to layer up for stacked, maximalist looks or are drawn in by effortlessly chic minimalist aesthetics, there are plenty of ways you can rely on huggie earrings to elevate your look.
In this Estella Bartlett guide, we’ll be answering questions like, ‘What are huggie earrings?’ and offering you some must-try styling tips on piecing together your perfect look.
What are Huggie Earrings?
Huggie earrings are a style of hoop earrings that are small in size and hug the ear, sitting tight against the earlobe. Typically chunkier than your standard pair of hoops, huggies allow wearers to style a look that complements and enhances their style, rather than being the focal piece of the outfit. The perfect way to subtly elevate your look, these earrings are available in a range of styles and are popular for their effortless appeal.
How Do Huggie Earrings Work?
How do huggie earrings work? Well, Estella Bartlett’s huggie earrings feature either a butterfly stud back fastening or a lever back fastening that curves at the back and simply clicks into place, tightly hugging the ear for a snug fit. Not only are they stylish, but they’re also known for being comfortable and secure.
How to Wear Butterfly Back Huggies
Putting in a pair of butterfly back huggies is really straightforward - they function exactly the same as a pair of stud earrings, for example. Simply remove the butterfly clasp from the earrings, put the bar through the desired piercing hole and replace the butterfly clasp on the back of your ear to secure it.
How to Wear Hinged Back Huggies
Hinged back huggies can be slightly fiddly to close once they’re in your ear, so let us help you out.
To put your hinged huggie earrings in your ear, open up the clasp and put the hinge bar through your desired piercing hole. Once the bar is through your ear, click the hinge into the other side of the earring. You may need to slightly push or bend the hinge bar into position to click it into place.
How to Wear Huggie Earrings?
Huggie earrings are undeniably versatile, making them a must-have in everyone’s collection. Thanks to their small diameter, they can add a touch of shimmer and shine to several parts of the ear, including:
-
The lobe
-
The helix
-
The forward helix
-
The tragus
-
The rook
So when it comes to styling, there is plenty of room for you to get creative. Let’s get a little more specific and talk about the different ways in which you can style your huggies for different occasions.
The Stacking Trend
Wear your huggies alongside pieces like stud earrings or drop earrings to create curated earring stack looks. This is your opportunity to experiment with shape and colour, so consider our gemstone earrings to ensure that your jewellery complements your overall look.
This trending style elevates even the simplest of outfits, so you can always rely on your jewellery to give your outfits that all-important chic quality, whether at the office or running errands.
Earring stacks can complement a range of styles and are suited to a variety of occasions. If you’re keen to put together a look that dazzles for a special occasion, an earring stack will leave you with no shortage of sparkle, promising elevated glamour. But, at the same time, if you’re going for more of an effortless, contemporary style, huggie earring stacks can also deliver on edge, giving your look that attitude that you’re looking for.
The Minimalist Look
Huggie earrings speak for themselves. They’re a go-to for the girl who is confident in her minimalist personal style and relies on jewellery to enhance her natural beauty. Suitable for everyday wear, huggie earrings are a simple but effective way to accessorise any outfit. Style them with a simple matching chain necklace or bracelet for a cohesive look that oozes class. If you tend to opt for the same look every day, consider shopping our waterproof earrings, designed to resist tarnish, discolouration, and moisture.
