Now that everyone has a choker in Every. Possible. Variation. I think it's safe to say the trend has reached its peak. Even if you still love your trusty choker, it might be time to start playing with the newest ubiquitous accessory trend: hoop earrings. Hoop earrings were definitely a thing when we were in school, but they're back again in a big way. Literally. Brands like Area and Y/Project were among the first to debut huge hoop earrings on the runway last season and since then the trend has caught fire. People can't get enough of the hoop, and with celebrities like Rihanna and Kendall Jenner rocking them, it's hard to ignore that they're absolutely the next choker.
Admittedly, some of these XL hoops might not be your jam for every day — those Y/Project spirals are no joke — but, luckily, hoops come in a variety of shapes and sizes that can complete literally any outfit. Whether its super sized, doubled, thick, thin, tiny, or abstract, these are 11 of the best hoops to buy so you've got the trend down no matter what.
FALLON

These Fallon earrings aren't your average hoop. They lay flat against your cheekbones to add a little something extra and accentuate your highlight.

THE M JEWELERS
Extra Large Thin Hoops, $65, The M Jewelers
One of my main concerns about wearing hoops is the weight. I'm terrified of stretching out my earring hole, so I always try to find lighter earrings to wear. These extra large hoops from M Jewelers provide you with all of the glory of a huge earring with none of the weight.
THE LAST LINE
Hoop Earring Jacket and Sphere Stud Earring, $353, The Last Line
The best thing about The Last Line is that all the pieces can be worn interchangeably. Designer Shelley Gibbs Sanders really thought about her customer when she designed the collection. All you need is one earring and it can be worn in so many different ways: This one can be worn as the hoop and stud or just the stud. You also have the option of swapping out the stud for another one, like a diamond for when you're feeling flashy.

Sometimes less is more and the simplicity of these Jules Smith hoops is magic. These are actually doing the least in the best way possible.
