If you are on a constant mission to revamp your style, there is one piece of jewelry everyone must have readily available...gold hoop earrings. In your mind you may feel a little cheated. Like why am I reading this article to find the most up-to-date advice on what celebs near and far are wearing, only to find that I am being recommended the most simple accessory ever? Please, let me explain...
Gold hoop earrings are not dead. You may have thought that they came and went with the 80's, and I'm hear to tell you this is simply not true. If there is one accessory I find the celebrities wearing more and more frequently this would be it. They are simple, clean, and they look pretty darn hot with basically any type of ensemble. You really can't go wrong with gold hoop earrings, or sterling silver hoop earrings for that matter. Hoops are just a nice complementary piece of jewelry.
Celebrities wear hoop earrings with their skinny jeans and knee-high boots, they wear them with their ever-so-chic sweater dresses and chunky belts, they even wear them on the red carpet in their Roberto Cavalli bandage dresses (see Hayden Panettierre at MTV's Video Music Awards). This is the greatest aspect of hoop earrings - their ultimate versatility.
Of course you'll want to have a pair of the simplest gold and silver hoops in your jewelry box at all times (this means your classic hoop earring, with no frills). But after you have those two staples, prepare to get a little crazy. Nowadays hoops run the gamut -- from gold hoops with a wire design inlay, to sterling silver hoops with graduated sterling silver beads. And for that un-dying Pat Benatar rockstar in you - funky hoops are the ultimate form of expression. Buy 'em with feathers or leather. Pull an Amy Winehouse (minus the illegal activities) and buy those completely overdone, thick gold hoop earrings. Go buck wild, no one's stopping you!
