Types of Men's Earrings
- Studs – the simplest type of earring. A post goes through the earlobe and is secured at the back. Subtle and suitable for daily wear.
- Hoops – a metal ring that goes through the earlobe and clicks shut at the back. Available in small and large sizes, from subtle to statement.
- Dangles – longer earrings that hang from the earlobe. Less common for men but popular in certain styles.
Choosing the Right Style
- Classic and subtle – choose a small stud or thin hoop in silver- or gold-toned steel.
- Bold and striking – go for black earrings or larger hoops.
- With stones – earrings with stones (zirconia, crystal) give a luxurious look.
- Consider your face shape, clothing style, and the occasion.
