What Is a Huggie Earring?

Title:
As the name suggests, huggies are crafted to hug the ear. Small in size but big on impact, the hoop-like designs loop around the ear and will add a cool touch to any outfit. Huggie hoops are known for their versatility and are especially easy to style; they can be worn higher up the ear to complement an edgier aesthetic or lower on the lobe like more traditional earrings. Perfect for pairing with existing pieces in your jewellery box, huggies are the obvious choice for effortless elegance.
Are Huggie Earrings in Style?
Huggies offer a fresh and fun take on hoop earrings – and the trend is definitely here to stay. Designed to go around the ear effortlessly gives them their enduring appeal as a playful staple with endless styling possibilities. Whether studded with crystal pearls for a shot of joyful extravagance, or crafted from gleaming gold and silver tones, huggie style earrings are ideal for layering on radiance.

How to Wear Huggie Earrings

A style that can be easily and safely worn in different piercing locations, huggies are a must for your jewellery wardrobe. Keep it chic with a simple design that hugs your ear lobe, then pair with intricate studs and fine jewellery-like hoops. 

For a bolder, more contemporary vibe choose chunkier huggies in your tragus or helix piercings. Or make them your style signature by placing a single huggie in your daith piercing – spiky or studded iterations plated in ruthenium are the perfect pick for this. And for a distinctive look that celebrates your individuality, combine huggie hoops with other favourite styles to create a full ear stack.

What Size Huggies Should You Choose

Huggies come in different sizes but generally range from 0.5-1.5 cm in diameter. The size you choose will depend on the type of look you wish to create and which piercing you want to wear the huggie in. Choose a statement style like the Millenia clip-on if you want it to be the focal point of your outfit, or plan to wear it in your helix piercing. However, if you’re adding to your lower or upper lobe stack and want a style that blends in seamlessly with your existing earrings, opt for a smaller huggie with a more discreet profile.
 
If you want to work out which size huggie will fit most comfortably on a particular piercing, you will need a ruler and mirror. Place the ruler on the piercing and measure to the bottom of your lobe. To measure huggie earrings correctly, check the width of the hoop’s inner diameter.

Huggies vs Hoops

Huggies are a type of hoop earring. They are smaller than classic hoops and sit much closer to the ear. Huggies are also more versatile than hoops and can be worn in various piercing locations for a non-traditional take on ear styling.

For a dramatic flourish, huggies and hoops can be stacked together in a mix of metals and embellishments. To create a sleek, singular statement, huggies are best - consider experimenting with Sublima’s domed shape - or reach for crystal-encrusted designs like our Matrix hoops to add a touch of timeless elegance.
How To Put On Huggie Earrings
There are different types of huggie earrings. Most are designed for pierced ears although some are made with a clip-on mechanism. Similar to small hoop earrings, huggies usually feature a latched or hinged back closure and shorter post. As huggies have a continuous circular design, they very rarely have screw or butterfly back closures, which are more often used to fasten studs or drop earrings.
 
If your huggie has a hinged back clasp, begin by pulling the hinge open. Thread the post carefully through your piercing before snapping the hinge closed. The huggie should sit securely in place but not pinch the skin or feel tight.
Style Huggies for Self-Expression

Sprejmite eksperimentalno stiliranje in bodite ustvarjalni pri nošenju svojih obročastih uhanov. Nosite več obročastih uhanov na ušesni mečici za klasično sofisticiranost ali dodajte videzu punk občutek z namestitvijo uhanov v polž, tragus ali daith piercinge. Za kul kontrast se igrajte s proporcijami in združite mini obročaste uhane z velikimi silhuetami, kot so naši Constella ali Idyllia viseči uhani in Hyperbola obroči.

Blestite s samozavestjo v preprosti kombinaciji majice in kavbojk, združeni z enim Dextera obročastim uhanom. Ali pa sprostite maksimalista v sebi z asimetričnim dodatkom – postavite vrsto enobarvnih obročastih uhanov na eno uho in živahen Gema ušesni manšet na drugo.

Obožujete malo luksuza? Visoko sijajni kovinski in biserni dodatki Swarovski Matrix uhanov se čudovito ujemajo z našimi srebrnimi Millenia sponkami. Ali zakaj ne bi poudarili popolnoma črnega videza z našimi osupljivimi Sublima obročastimi uhani; nosite jih z dvobarvnimi Matrix obroči za vrhunski izraz veselja.

Ali lahko spite z obročastimi uhani?
Zaradi svoje majhne oblike in velikosti ter običajno lahkega občutka, lahko nosite obročaste uhane med spanjem. Kot čepki, veljajo za ene najvarnejših uhanov, ki jih lahko nosite ves čas – ne glede na to, ali ste zunaj ali se sproščate doma. Vendar pa, da bi se izognili morebitnemu nelagodju, boste morda želeli odstraniti svoje obročaste uhane pred spanjem, še posebej, ko preboji še niso popolnoma zaceljeni. Za odstranitev obročastih uhanov, odpnite zaponko in nežno izvlecite zatič iz preboja. Shranjujte svoje obročaste uhane v škatli za nakit, obloženi s tkanino, ali v vrečki iz blaga, da preprečite praske.
Kreativni načini stiliranja obročastih uhanov
Obročasti uhani so namenjeni izražanju vaše ustvarjalnosti. S svojimi vsestranskimi možnostmi stiliranja so kot nalašč za ustvarjanje videza, ki je edinstven za vas. Obročasti uhani v mešanih velikostih so odlična izbira za drzno samoizražanje, medtem ko so modeli z barvitimi čarobnimi obeski edinstveno sladki.
 
Prekoračite meje in nosite svoje obročaste uhane z bolj formalnimi oblačili, kot je ostro krojena obleka, ali pa zasijte v kalejdoskopu barv v temi. Poskusite tanjše obročaste uhane za pridih razkošja ali pa bodite drznejši z bolj masivnimi oblikami. Ne glede na to, kako se odločite, da jih nosite, obročasti uhani so narejeni, da povečajo vaš sijaj.
