There has been seen a surge in popularity for men’s jewellery.
From necklaces to rings, bracelets to earrings, it’s an easy way to add a touch of bling to your wardrobe - as proven by the likes of jewellery-afficionados Harry Styles, Timothée Chalamet and Frank Ocean.
While hoops may not spring to mind as a staple accessory for men, they should be firmly on the list of any chap who’s lucky enough to have pierced ears - and if you don’t, consider this your cue to make an appointment at the piercing parlour so you can fulfill your ear’s true glinting potential.
When compared with the humble huggie and the classic stud, the hoop is the main character of the earring world - a more stand-out design that will elevate your jewellery game to new heights.
The good news is that the options on the market are far ranging and ever-growing. Independent jewellery brands like Missoma, Serge DeNimes and Mejuri are extending their menswear collections season after season - all of which are crafted using precious metals and stones that will certainly stand the test of time.
Whether you’re partial to an industrial masculine aesthetic, prefer to channel the look of a bygone era, or would rather stick to the latest trends with a pearl-embellished design, we’ve catered for all tastes and budgets in our edit below.
