The easiest way to style hoop earrings with a casual outfit is to choose one good pair that lifts your whole look. Medium smooth hoops in gold or silver suit almost any pair of jeans, sweatshirt or jumper. Want more character? Choose a bold hoop or a model with coloured stones. That way a simple outfit instantly feels complete.
Casual does not mean jewellery does not matter. With a simple outfit, hoop earrings stand out even more. They add shine around your face and make the difference between comfortable and polished. In this blog you will read how to combine hoops with your everyday clothes.

Why do hoops suit casual clothes so well?
Hoops have an open, round shape that naturally looks relaxed.
A classic with an effortless feel
The hoop is one of the oldest earring shapes there is. It suits a denim jacket just as well as a smart blouse. That makes a hoop the ideal bridge between comfortable and stylish. You hardly need to think about it. Grab your favourite pair, and you are ready.
Shine as a counterbalance to fabric
Casual clothes are often made of cotton, denim or knitwear. These fabrics are matt. A shiny hoop creates a lovely contrast. Suddenly a grey jumper looks like a deliberate choice.
Which hoops do you choose for which casual look?
Your outfit decides which hoop shows off best.
Jeans and a white top
This is the most classic casual look. Almost any hoop suits it. Want to keep it timeless? Choose a smooth medium hoop. Want more colour? Go for a tube hoop with coloured zirconia. It adds a cheerful accent around your face.
Hoodie or oversized jumper
With a hood or a thick roll neck, there is less space around your neck. Choose small or medium hoops that stay close to your ear. Big hoops catch on fabric more easily. Choose hoops with a compact and sturdy design, as they stay neatly in place.
Sporty look with trainers
If you wear joggers with trainers, your hoop can be a little bolder. A bold model gives your sporty look a cool edge. That way your outfit still feels like a conscious choice. Do take your hoops off when you actually exercise, as sweat and knocks are not good for the finish.
How do you turn a casual look into your own style?
With a few small choices you make your look personal.
Mix & Match with your other jewellery
The Mix & Match concept stands for combining freely. No fixed sets and no strict rules. You decide which hoops to wear with which necklace or bracelet. Wearing a necklace too? Then read how to combine hoop earrings with a necklace.
Thinking about your glasses
If you wear glasses with your casual look, check whether your frames and hoops complement each other. Striking frames call for calm earrings. You will find more tips in the blog on which hoop earrings to wear with glasses.
From weekend to work
A good pair of hoops easily goes from Saturday to Monday. Just change your clothes and keep your earrings. How to wear hoops at the office is explained in which hoop earrings to wear to work.
What should you look for in quality?
You wear casual hoops often, so quality counts.
Material and finish
The hoops in this blog are made of 925 sterling silver with a gold plated or rhodium plated finish. Gold plated gives a warm gold colour. Rhodium plated gives a bright silver colour. So you choose the colour that suits your wardrobe.
Design with an eye for detail
Since 2014 the brand has designed jewellery in the Netherlands. Production takes place in workshops in Italy, Bangkok and Hong Kong. Quality, wearing comfort and timeless design come first in every design. That is why you wear a pair of hoops not for one season, but for years.
Frequently asked questions about hoops with a casual outfit
I'm happy to answer a few frequently asked questions:
Which hoop size is most practical for every day?
Medium hoops are the easiest. They stand out but do not catch easily on a collar or your hair. Small hoops are even calmer and suit any outfit.
Can you wear hoops with stones casually?
Yes, that is a fun combination. A sweatshirt or denim jacket with sparkling hoops creates a playful contrast. Keep the rest of your jewellery a little simpler.
Do gold hoops suit a grey or black outfit?
Yes. Gold adds warmth to cool colours such as grey and black. Silver looks sleeker and fresher with them. Both colours are a good choice.
