I have been eying hoops for awhile and narrowed it down to these three. The first are smooth and substantial, the second a bit funky and the third are classy cool (IMO) but look quite thin when you see them on the model.

Thoughts?

I'm interested in seeing what replies you get. Sometimes I think hoops are out of style and I wear studs only.

Other times I see ladies wearing them but they are very thin hoops which look nice.

I don't think I'd wear the chunky ones we used to. The pictures you have are of very nice hoops though.

I have all studs now so I want something a little dangly.
 
I agree that hoops are classic, I don’t see them as being out of style at all. I see women of all ages wearing them on a daily basis.

All three pairs are nice, but my vote would be for the first pair as they are the most classic - maybe ones that are a little thinner would be more versatile though.
 
Oooh, I love very large, thin hoops on myself! I wore those as a teenager and they looked smashing on me, haha! :ps:

I have, sadly, not worn that style since as I think they look kind of (read very) Jersey Shoresque, but boy do I miss them sometimes. I only wear studs or pearls now, most days I don't even wear earrings... Occasionally something "long", but that happens once in a blue moon. Actually about once in a five years time now that I think about it...

Sorry for OT, I got a bit nostalgic, I came here to say that those smaller and chunkier hoops looks way more "classy" and "in style" than the ones I wore ages ago. Hoops can looks very elegant if styled right. I would not hesitate to rock one of the pairs you posted, if they would suit my face. Sadly the larger the hoop the more proportionate it will look with my facial features. That said, have you tried any of the pairs on? At least on myself there is a big difference in how good a hoop looks at me, from hoop to hoop. I may be making a bigger deal out of this than it needs to be, but my advice would be to go and try them all on before deciding.
