13 Gold Hoop Earrings To Buy Now & Wear Forever

We all have a pair of earrings we wouldn't mind wearing every single day. For many, it's gold hoops. Whether worn close to the earlobes, as big as can be, or stacked up, this particular type of lobe decor makes a statement, no matter the size or quantity. Their classic style with diverse nuances is what's made them survive centuries of jewelry trends while still feeling fresh, never antiquated. That's why, in our books, they're such a staple piece.

Sure, you can associate the shine the gold radiates with warm and sunny days, but that's why they also make a great cold-weather accessory, too. They're timeless jewelry pieces you can wear year-round. So, to keep our gold hoop collection ever growing, we've rounded up 13 gold hoop earrings in all shapes and sizes from brands we already love and a few new designers we can't wait to try.

Whether you’ll be vacationing in Santorini this summer or having a much-deserved staycation, your summer wardrobe deserves a whimsical refresh for all your plans. And the new Madewell x Lisa Says Gah! collab is the perfect collection to transport you to the Greek Isles with its Mediterranean color palette and vibrant prints. Two of our favorite brands teaming up on a vacation-ready capsule collection that incorporates Madewell’s classic silhouettes and Lisa Says Gah!’s playful prints? Take our money!

From matching sets that you can wear solo or together for an easy-to-put-together outfit and easy-breezy dresses to on-theme oceanic jewelry and versatile silk scarves, this collab has everything you could want. Many of the elevated basics can even be worn from day to night, from your walking tours to your al fresco dinners. We also love that many of the pieces are also available in plus sizes.

Read on to peruse and shop the limited-edition Madewell x Lisa Says Gah! collection, and prepare yourself to be the most stylish vacationer this summer.

Madewell x Lisa Says Gah! Dresses & Swimsuits

The prints in this collaboration are reminiscent of Lisa Says Gah!’s iconic Buon Appetito and Tapas Collection food and fish prints, but with a Greek twist. You’ll find illustrations of statue busts and architectural columns side by side with mouth-watering olives and grapes. And they find their way onto every single piece. From a printed blue one-shoulder mini dress to a white cut-out midi dress and low-back one-piece swimsuits that match both styles, you can look fabulous from your early-morning swim to your late-night stroll.

Madewell x Lisa Says Gah! Tops

There’s nothing more laid back and easy than an oversized button-down shirt or boxy T-shirt, and luckily, this collab offers both. Pick between graphic T-shirts with a colorful floral vase, olive plate, and postage stamp print or a blue-and-white tablescape of wine, bread, sardines, and more. Wear it with your favorite blue jeans or trendy jorts for an effortlessly cool look. For a slightly more elevated look, opt for the short-sleeve button-downs with blue embroidered designs or mismatched pearlescent buttons, both of which have matching bottoms (see below!).

Madewell x Lisa Says Gah! Bottoms

The vacation-ready bottoms are a blend of closet staples (denim shorts and white jeans) and playful statement pieces (printed drawstring shorts and adjustable-slit midi skirts). Wear the drawstring shorts with summer tanks and matching button-downs for day trips or over bikinis for stylish cover-up options. And don’t sleep on the denim: The jeans and shorts each have unique twists, whether it’s a braided belt or an all-over print. 

Madewell x Lisa Says Gah! Accessories

Complete your vacation outfit with summer accessories. The Madewell x Lisa Says Gah! collection features statement jewelry and accessories like a layered mixed-metal and rope necklace. Go all in on the seaside-theme with gold shell-shaped earrings and necklace pendants for a matching jewelry look.

Hayley Kiyoko’s Size-Inclusive Kitty And Vibe Swimsuit Line Celebrates Her Community

Say the name Hayley Kiyoko, and most people will think of songs like “Girls Like Girls” and  “Demons.” But Kiyoko’s art isn’t restricted to catchy hits — the multihyphenate boasts a career that spans acting, writing, and more. Today she is adding a new title to her resume — swimwear designer — thanks to a just-launched Hayley Kiyoko x Kitty And Vibe collaboration. “I’ve experimented and expressed myself through many mediums. Right now, we’re in my swimwear design era,” Kiyoko tells Refinery29. That era is kicking off today, June 11, with the Palm Dreams collection.

The size-inclusive swimwear company — which has previously collaborated with Nicole Byer — appealed to Kiyoko after she learned that it makes bikini bottoms for different butt sizes: “I basically don’t have a butt, so when I discovered that, it was like, ‘Oh my gosh, do you mean that I could wear a bikini and not have a saggy butt? Like I need to know who these people are,’” says Kiyoko.

The collab combines Kitty And Vibe’s fit expertise with Kiyoko’s love for color and prints. From modern takes on tie-dye to sporty neon styles, the collection, which ranges from size XS to 6X, evokes a laid-back West Coast vibe and nods to Kiyoko’s California roots. (The prints — or, in Kitty And Vibe parlance, “vibes” — are named after beach spots in L.A.)  It also includes different coverage options, from tiny triangle tops and string bikinis to full coverage one-pieces, making the collection even more inclusive for shoppers with different wants and needs for swimwear.

“We designed patterns from scratch. This was my very first time going through this designing process and every single detail was thought of,” says Kiyoko. “The pieces all cohesively work together, and you can mix and match [them], which is something that I intentionally wanted to do.”

The decision to launch the 20-piece collection during Pride Month was also intentional. “I have always yearned for opportunity and equality and feeling worthy and having a sense of belonging. That feeds into everything I do creatively,” says Kiyoko, exemplifying the type of care and consideration that earned her a fiercely loyal fanbase. “I love celebrating with my community, and I felt like it was a wonderful time to bring people together and have size-inclusive bikinis and one-pieces… I’ve just felt a great alignment in timing.”

Read on for more of what Kiyoko has to say about her style, designing her first swim collection, and how comfort and confidence go hand in hand.

How would you describe your style and how did that translate into the swimsuit collection?
I love mismatching patterns. I love color. I love something that feels unique and my own. So I tend to always seek that, and I definitely felt that as we were designing the patterns for this swimwear line. Like, chartreuse is one of my favorite colors, so making sure I have hints of that throughout this line. It’s a combination of patterns and color but also comfortability. My fans see: I’m always in sweatpants and sweatshirts! I want to feel comfortable, because when I feel comfortable I feel confident. 

How has your style evolved through the years?
With seasons in life. Sometimes I want to show more skin; sometimes I want to wear baggy clothes. But I think there’s always been this throughline of wanting to feel comfortable and to wear something that feels like my own.

As soon as you allow yourself to be your true authentic version, the sky’s the limit. I feel like once I allowed myself to be who I was — sometimes feminine, sometimes masculine — I felt like my range of style allowed me to feel free and to blossom. 

So what season of life are you in right now?
I’m in a place where I feel like my life is finally aligning; I feel this really powerful alignment. For so long I’ve just been banging on doors that were closed. I released a song “Greenlight” last year, and I had this epiphany: I’m going to stop banging on these doors that are closed, and I’m going to go where the green [light] is. I’m going to go where I feel ease, where I feel supported. And that mind shift has really changed my life. Feeling support, where I can feel free and thrive — that’s what I’ve been craving. Sometimes that lends to music, sometimes that lends to writing a book, and now it’s designing swimwear with Kitty And Vibe.

Why did swimwear feel like the right collab for you now?
I was super drawn to the fact that Kitty And Vibe are size-inclusive, and also the company’s mission of “Kind is My Vibe.” I’ve been working to be kinder to myself. My body and weight fluctuate a lot depending on what I’m going through. It’s important to be able to say positive things and create a space in my mind that feels safer to me. So it just kind of aligned where I was like, “Oh, I really love what Kitty and Vibe are doing and I would love to collaborate with them.”

You’ve talked publicly about struggling with internalized body shame. What has been helpful for you when it comes to improving your relationship with your body?
Everyone has a different approach. For me, I’ve tried to cultivate the fact that my body is a vessel and my body is doing everything it can to show up for myself. I’ve dealt with a lot of health issues throughout the years and, again, my weight fluctuates a lot due to that. So I’ve had to learn to love my body for where it’s at in the moment and be grateful that it’s showing up for me in whatever way it can.

I’ve been cultivating this relationship with my body, and envisioning my body as its own person. I want to take care of that person; I want to be kind to that person; and it’s not helpful to just put that person down every single day. I think once you realize that you have to work together, body and mind, you’re able to work more as one.

What do you hope to convey with this collection? 
This collection makes me feel so great and comfortable in my skin, and I hope it does for so many of my fans and Kitty and Vibe supporters. I think bikinis and one-pieces can be daunting sometimes, and so to find swimwear with patterns and colors that make us feel confident and make us feel good just makes the sunshine a little brighter. I believe that we should be able to find bikinis and one-pieces that fit our body types, and so I’m so excited for my fans to get to experience Kitty And Vibe.
