925 Sterling Silver Huggie Earrings

Huggie earrings are the cute little sister of the classic big hoop and can be dressed up or down depending on your vibe of choice. While hoop earrings hang from your ear, huggie earrings are designed to—wait for it—’ hug’ the earlobe instead. They click shut for a secure fit and look great both worn alone or stacked as part of an ensemble of earrings. As they sit close to your ear, they’re a great alternative to hoops if you want a comfortable accessory with none of the risk of getting caught in your hair or painfully pulled.

The great thing about huggie earrings is that, depending on where you’re punching, there is often a choice of sizes so you can decide how snug you’d like the earring to be. There is also a range of shapes to decide on, from classy rounded hoops to flattering styles that have space for some sparkle. Whichever style you’re after and whatever your budget, here are some of the best huggie earrings to suit every shopper.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE BEST HUGGIE EARRINGS FOR YOU

Just like all jewelry, selecting the right Huggies partly comes down to your own style. Before checking out potential picks, think about whether you want to wear multiple Huggies in each ear, go for single pairs, or combine them with other earring types. Some ear piercings work better with different-sized Huggies, and that also depends on how high up or into the lobe a hole is set.

Explore inner diameter sizings to get the best idea about how snugly the Huggies will fit. As a general guide, Huggies with an inner diameter of 6 or 7mm neatly hug the lobe. A 5mm inner diameter is likely to fit best on an upper lobe piercing, where there’s less space between the hole and edge of your ear. Those of an 8mm inner diameter or more is a looser fit, if you like a little room between huggie and ear, all hail the traditional hoop vibe. Similarly, outer diameter measurements will steer you towards how chunky Huggies are.

Think about material and gemstones, the colors you gravitate towards most, what you fancy spending and whether any metals typically irritate your skin. The same goes for how you feel about lightweight versus chunkier earrings.
