Fashion Top Five: Feminine Gold Hoops That Won’t Weigh You Down

It’s no secret that gold looks great with a tan (regardless of whether it’s real). And next to necks and shoulders left bare by summer’s spare tops, elegant hoops look more elegant than overtly glitzy accessories - especially in smaller sizes with understated design details.

These Gold Hoop Earrings by Herve van der Straeten ($180) aren’t quite circular, making them the ideal addition to a slightly-undone beachy hairdo.

Gold Hoop Earrings by O by Oscar de la Renta ($60) have a rich, antique look, thanks to the etched detail.

These Juicy Couture earrings ($58) have tiny buckles at the front.

These Hammered Metal Hoops ($7.50) from Old Navy are glamorous, simple, and ridiculously affordable.

We’ve been loving Kipepeo’s Sakura Earrings ($129) for a while - the design inside is a clever way to make the classic gold hoop unique.
