Gold Hoops For Every Vibe: From Luxe 14k To Huggies

Gold hoop earrings are the ultimate jewelry MVP. Season-less, versatile, and always pulling their weight, they work just as well with jeans as they do with wedding guest dresses. Whether you’re into dainty huggies or chunky tubes and other statement styles, there’s a gold hoop for every mood.

Some outfits call for the barely-there charm of petite hoops that hug the lobe, while others practically demand extra-large, look-at-me designs. Of course, nothing beats the classics: 14-karat yellow gold and white gold hoops — especially when they’re tarnish-free — are as reliable as your favorite white T-shirt. 

Ahead, we’ve rounded up the best gold hoops in every trending category. Maybe you’re hunting for a pair to wear 24/7 or chasing a luxe gift for yourself or a loved one this holiday season. Either way, these picks are guaranteed to add a finishing touch to both your jewelry box and outfits.

14K Gold Hoop Earrings

The perfect blend of luxury and wearability, true 14k gold hoops are an investment that deliver timeless sophistication. Whether you choose Mejuri’s sleek pair, Kinn’s lightweight everyday option, or Angara’s square hoop shape, these are your forever earrings — versatile for coffee runs and soirĂ©es alike.

Huggies & Small Gold Hoop Earrings

Small gold hoops may be subtle, but these pint-sized pieces bring just the right touch of shine to any look. Huggies also, well, hug your lobes just right, offering maximum comfort while still offering a polished touch to your outfit. Given their petite size, you can easily stack them to climb your ear or wear them solo. From twisted tubes to diamond accents, there’s a huggie for every sartorial vibe. 

White Gold Hoop Earrings

If all the viral color analysis videos have convinced you that you’re more of a silver gal (but you still want the luxe durability that gold provides), white gold is the cool-toned twist you need to own. Best of all, brands have designed just as many options in white gold as they have in the metal’s yellow-gold counterpart, including classic small and large hoops, as well as textured and bubbled designs.

Chunky Gold Hoop Earrings

Thick gold hoops balance boldness with timeless appeal. Some retain a sleek and sculptural feel, while others lean into a chunky and puffy silhouette. Either way, they effortlessly elevate everything from minimalist outfits to cozy cardigans. And sure, bigger can certainly be better, but that doesn’t always mean more expensive — these styles all come in under $150.

Large Gold Hoop Earrings 

Make a statement with a pair of go-to large gold hoops. How big you go in circumference is up to you, of course. An oversized pair made from a single thin wire is a classic, while others feature sculptural details begging for a double-take. Continuous circles and open-ended backs both bring just the right amount of drama to everything from a black turtleneck to a tailored blazer — and require little other jewelry.

I’m Shopping Abercrombie & Fitch’s Fall Sale For Jeans & Sweaters

With daylight savings quickly approaching and the weather getting chillier and chillier, we’re finally reaching for our cozy cardigans and matching lounge sets more often. And with fall activities — like pumpkin picking, brewery hopping, and Friendsgiving potlucks — piling up on our social calendars, a wardrobe refresh is in order.

Luckily, Abercrombie & Fitch is hosting its Fall Sale right now where we can score 25% off select fall staples like bootcut jeans and our favorite football team sweatshirts. Between today and November 3rd, this online-exclusive sale promises deals on top-rated styles as well as newer arrivals, plus free shipping on $99+ orders

I’ll personally be carting up the brand’s on-sale Curve Love jeans (my go-to denim) while they come in under $100, along with a range of sweaters for work and weekend plans. But beyond your everyday wardrobe, you should also look out for festive bodysuits, leather pants, and mini skorts that you can show off during the holiday season.

Ahead, see some of our favorite Abercrombie & Fitch fall styles on sale that you can score big on for the next five days. 

Abercrombie & Fitch Jeans On Sale

Fall is the unofficial jean season, and Abercrombie & Fitch is a not-so-surprising denim destination for tons of silhouettes, washes, and size ranges. From vintage-inspired ‘90s straight-leg jeans to the ‘70s-esque bootcut silhouettes (especially with suede laces down the sides), you’ll feel like you’re stepping out of a fall rom-come in any of these A&F styles. For a more modern, laidback look, the bestselling low-rise baggy jeans are the perfect everyday style. And for under $68, they’re a steal. 

Abercrombie & Fitch Tops & Bodysuits On Sale

There’s no better time to stock up on closet staples than when they’re on sale. From everyday long-sleeve blouses to flirty off-the-shoulder bodysuits, A&F has all your fall top needs covered. Opt for under-$60 versatile pieces like luxe merino wool turtlenecks and sweater tanks that can effortlessly be worn from the office to late-night drinks. 

Abercrombie & Fitch Pants & Skirts On Sale

It’s finally cold enough to step out in leather pants and fleece-lined tights under our skirts and dresses. And A&F has plenty of on-sale styles to pick from. Opt for a pair of high-rise or low-rise vegan leather pants in classic black or distressed brown to serve as the base for all your party outfits. Plus, check out the brand’s versatile under-$50 mini skorts.

Abercrombie & Fitch Sweaters On Sale

Get cozy in sweaters suitable for at-home fall movie screenings and football Sundays, or ones elevated enough for the office and weekend brunches. So whether you’re looking for a classic cable-knit sweater, a short-sleeve style, or a graphic sweatshirt, A&F is offering $60-and-under tops to snuggle up in this season.

The 24 Best Travel Pants (That Aren’t Leggings) Ahead Of The Holidays

With the holiday season quickly approaching, we foresee tons of travel in your near future. Whether you’re venturing to the airport for a holiday vacation, hopping on a train to visit long-distance family, or taking a road trip to your favorite winter markets, one thing’s for sure: Comfort is non-negotiable. Sure, trusty leggings and cozy sweats are MVPs, but sometimes, you want to look a little less “just rolled out of bed" and a little more “effortless jet-setter." Enter: travel pants. 

When curating our list of the best travel pants, we held them to sky-high standards: They needed to be versatile enough to wear straight off the plane and into whatever adventure awaits, comfy enough for the bizarre yoga-esque positions you’ll find yourself in while attempting to sleep on along-haul flight, and stylish enough to pair seamlessly with the rest of your travel wardrobe (and avoid the dreaded overpacking guilt). Bonus points to pants with practical perks like wrinkle-resistance, technical fabrics, and — the holy grail — pockets!

From elevated joggers and ribbed sweater pants to pull-on trousers and roomy cargo pants (plus the odd sweatpant that we couldn’t resist), meet our 24 favorite travel companions ahead. Once you experience the magic of comfy, polished bottoms that don’t scream “athleisure overload,” we promise you’ll never look back.
