Fancy hoop earrings are the affordable way to spruce up your in between wardrobe

A showstopping pair of statement earrings can transform an ensemble from 'meh' to marvellous.

Drop earrings covered in everything from tassels to rhinestones have become a staple in our jewellery boxes, but this season, make a little space for the newest style in the earlobe game: hoops.

But not just any plain gold hoops. From colourful acrylics to chic pearls and dazzling diamanté, here are all the ways a statement hoop can jazz up any tricky transeasonal outift.

Vivid Colour

We usually think of adding a pop of colour with shoes or a handbag, but why not do it with some eye-popping jewellery. Trendsetting Instagram brand Cult Gia has created chunky colourful hoops in a range of spring-inspired pastels, from lilac to mint.

If you really want to channel 2019 hues, Alison Lou has created hoops in trendy neon shades like lime green and hot pink. Perfect for offsetting the neutrals that are dominating the shops right now.

Pearly Heaven

Pearl hoops make for a perfect finishing touch to any outfit. Plus, the luxe-looking item doesn't need to burn a hole in your purse. Snap up the embellished earrings for as little as £6 on ASOS. Oversized pearl hoops also make perfect wedding jewellery.

Abstract Shapes

This season hoops have been given a modern makeover and come in all kinds of fun shapes.

Balenciaga kicked off the trend in 2018 with its single oversized triangle, heart and star earrings. Now, the sculptural aesthetic has evolved to include everything from hexagonal to abstract florals.

Supersized Sparkles

For Studio 54 vibes, take your inspiration from Tom Ford's dazzling hoop earrings which were unmissable on the AW18 catwalk.

From oversized and chunky to slim and subtle, there are loads hoops to choose from. The perfect way to jazz up jeans and a nice top for a low-key evening look.
