Next time someone tells Bronx girls to take off their hoops, they can just say they’re dressing like a Congresswoman
– Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
Nothing elevates your ear game like a pair of hoop earrings. Heralded by Rhianna and Zendaya on and off the red carpet, the style signature for JLO Jennifer Lopez and beloved by Alicia Keys and Ariana Grande, Hoop Earrings are empowering, symbolic to the circle of unity, infinity and wholeness.
As one of the oldest accessories in human existence, Hoop earrings have significant meanings in cultures around the world.
Since Nubia 2500 BCE, Ancient Africans, Greeks and Minoans, Egyptians, Romans, Assyrians, Persians, Caribbeans, from Latinos to Southern Californian Cholas, NY Bronx, Vietnamese Hmong women and India’s Gadaba tribe, once worn by emperors, kings and queens as a proclamation of social status (as in, my hoop earring is bigger than your hoop earring), Hoops are a statement for unity and strength – not to mention powerful earlobes.
Hoop earrings are empowering. Hoops stand out. Hoops are power symbols.
You’re not quite dressed until a pair of hoops add swagger
Hoop earring fashion
While fashions dictate our jewellery with large hair, headpieces and high collars, hoops have always persevered. 1920s updos with low-cut necklines, 1960s straight-hair and mod fashion, 1970 disco’s African and Latina renaissance and modern-day hip hop have kept hoop earring fashion alive and swinging. Hoops have gone so far as to be featured on Balenciaga, Versace and Marc Jacobs runways.
There’s a reason why hoop earrings are popular: they never go out of style. As a crucial accessory to your jewellery box, dressed up or down, they rock all the way from a walk in the park right to the red carpet. Hoops are all about attitude – fearless and without a care in the world.
The bigger the hoop, the bigger the love
– Old Chola saying
Hoop earrings are always about adding edge. They’re for the bold, demanding and commanding attention. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wore a bold red lip with striking gold hoops when she took her oath of office for the ultimate cultural statement.
As the visual cue to who’s the real bossb’tch around here, just remember to keep hair pulled back and a bare neckline for best results. And make sure those hoops move with fearless swagger.
MYJS Mix Hoops are a modern take on a classic, offering endless style, pops of sparkle and all-day comfort.
