Men's Hoop Earrings, Unisex U-Shaped Huggies

Key features

• U-shaped huggie: an elongated, squared-off hoop that hugs the earlobe instead of hanging down.
• Polished finish: smooth, flat sides with a bright, mirror-like shine.
• Hinged latch: the post swings open from the top bar and clicks into the bottom to close.
• Gold-tone or silver-tone: two finishes that are easy to match with watches, rings and chains.
• Unisex style: a minimal shape that works for men and women, in one ear or both.
• Mix and match: wear a gold-tone and a silver-tone hoop together for a stacked look, as in our model photo.

Why Choose These Men's Hoop Earrings

Men's hoop earrings have moved from a bold statement to an everyday basic, and small huggies are the easiest way to start. Unlike a large round hoop, a huggie sits close to the earlobe, so it looks neat at work and still adds an edge on the weekend. This pair has a modern U shape with squared edges, which looks sharper and more architectural than a round hoop, and a polished finish that catches the light. That makes them good first men's hoop earrings if you are new to wearing jewellery.

Earrings for men are nothing new. As Wikipedia's article on the earring notes, by the early 21st century it had become widely accepted for men to have one or both ears pierced.

How to Wear Them

Wear one of these men's hoop earrings for a low-key look or a pair for balance. If you have two piercings in the same ear, try a gold-tone and a silver-tone hoop side by side, the way the model wears them in our photos. Match the tone to your other metal accessories: gold-tone with a gold watch or warm-coloured clothes, silver-tone with steel watches, black and grey.

How to Put On a Hinged Hoop

Hold the hoop with the hinge at the top and gently swing the post open. Pass the post through your piercing from the front, then press it into the bottom of the hoop until it clicks. To take it off, pull the post gently out of the catch and swing it open. Close the latch before storing so it keeps its shape.

Sensitive Ears and Care

If you have a known metal allergy, check with your doctor before wearing new earrings. Nickel allergy is a common skin reaction to some metals. Wipe your hoops with a soft, dry cloth after wearing, take them off to swim or shower, and store them in a pouch so the polished finish stays scratch-free.
