Huggie earrings are a type of hoop earring that sits close to the earlobe, hugging it. They are designed with two different back closures, lever or hinged back (latch) closings. Huggies are usually thinner and smaller than traditional hoop earrings and have a smaller diameter, making them comfortable to wear for extended periods and perfect for everyday wear. They are versatile and can be dressed up or down, worn alone or in a pair, and mixed and matched with different metals to create a unique style. Huggie earrings come in many different styles, from plain to diamond-encrusted. They can be worn alone for a chic minimalistic style, but for those with multiple piercings, they can also be stacked and styled with other complementary piercings for a real stand-out effect. Huggie earrings are great because they can be adapted to suit any individual and can suit a range of fashion styles, from simple and casual to outlandish and bold.
