What Is a Huggie Earring?

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 jewelry box, huggies are the obvious choice for effortless elegance.

Como usar brincos huggie

Um estilo que pode ser usado com facilidade e segurança em diferentes locais de piercing, os brincos huggies são essenciais para o seu guarda-joias. Mantenha o visual chique com um design simples que abraça o lóbulo da orelha, e combine-o com brincos base intrincados e aros que lembram peças de joalheria.

Para um visual mais ousado e contemporâneo, escolha huggies mais robustos para os piercings no tragus ou na hélice. Ou torne-os a sua marca registrada colocando um único brinco huggie no seu piercing daith – versões pontiagudas ou com tachas banhadas a ruténio são a escolha perfeita para isso. E para um visual distinto que celebra sua individualidade, combine huggies com outros estilos favoritos para criar uma composição completa na orelha.

Que tamanho de huggies deve escolher

Os huggies vêm em tamanhos diferentes, mas geralmente variam de 5 a 15 mm de diâmetro. O tamanho que escolher dependerá do tipo de look que deseja criar e em que piercing pretende usar o huggie. Escolha um estilo marcante, como o clip-on Millenia, se quiser que este seja o ponto focal do seu outfit, ou planeie usá-lo no piercing na hélice. No entanto, se pretender adicionar algo à sua coleção de brincos para o lóbulo inferior ou superior e desejar um estilo que combine perfeitamente com os seus brincos existentes, opte por um huggie mais pequeno com um perfil mais discreto.

Se quiser descobrir qual o tamanho de huggie que ficará mais confortável num piercing específico, vai precisar de uma régua e um espelho. Coloque a régua sobre o piercing e meça até à parte inferior do lóbulo. Para medir corretamente os brincos huggie, verifique a largura do diâmetro interno do aro.

Huggie earrings versus hoops. Swarovski’s expert opinion

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

Embrace experimental styling and get creative with how you wear your huggies. Wear a stack on the earlobe to channel classic sophistication or lend looks a punk feel by placing huggies in your helix, tragus, or daith piercings. For a cool contrast, play with proportions and pair mini huggies with oversized silhouettes like our Constella or Idyllia drop earrings and Hyperbola hoops.

Shine with confidence in a pared back t-shirt and jeans combo teamed with a single Dextera huggie hoop. Or unleash the maximalist in you with asymmetric accessorizing – juxtapose a row of monochrome huggies on one ear with a vibrant Gema ear cuff on the other.

Love a little luxe? The high shine metallics and pearl injections of Swarovski’s Matrix earrings work beautifully with our silver-tone Millenia clip-ons. Or why not accent an all-black ensemble with our striking Sublima huggies; wear with dual-color Matrix hoops for the ultimate expression of joy.

Can You Sleep in Huggie Earrings?

Thanks to their small shape and size, and typically lightweight feel, you can wear huggies when sleeping. Like studs, they are considered one of the safest earrings to keep on at all times – whether you’re out and about or relaxing at home. However, to avoid any potential discomfort, you may wish to remove your huggie earrings before sleeping, especially when piercings haven’t fully healed. To remove huggies, unfasten the clasp and gently pull the post out from your piercing. Store your huggies in a fabric-lined jewelry box or cloth pouch to prevent scratches.

Creative Ways to Wear Huggie Earrings

Huggies are all about expressing your creativity. With their versatile styling options, they’re perfect for crafting a look that’s individual to you. Huggie hoops in mixed sizes are a great choice for bold self-expression, while designs with colorful charms are uniquely sweet.

Break the mould and wear your huggies with more formal ensembles like a sharply tailored suit, or glow bright after dark in a kaleidoscope of colors. Try slimmer huggies for a hint of opulence or go bolder with chunkier shapes. However you choose to wear them, huggies are made to amplify your shine.
