Men's Earrings

Yes, of course. Men's earrings can look fantastic. There are so many great styles out there now, including stud earrings and hoop earrings for men, meaning that no matter your or your loved ones' personal style, there are men's earring types that will work.

Often, people ask us whether men can actually wear earrings, and our answer is always a resounding yes. Why should the cool and attractive earrings that are so popular now be reserved only for women?

If you'd like to wear earrings as a man, and you're wondering what style to choose, consider the colours and style you often dress in as well as your skin colour and face shape to find the perfect pair.

Most often, men will choose to wear stud earrings simply because men's earrings tend to be studs in the first place. Many styles are common in men's earrings, including diamond stud earrings, men's black earrings, and men's earring styles that include tribal patterns.

Like with women's earrings, a good way to find the best metal type for your earrings is to check against your skin tone.

While stud earrings are common in earrings for men, this doesn't mean that men's hoop earrings are not suitable. In fact, many men choose to wear one or two silver or yellow gold hoops in their ears, too.

You might also choose to wear a dangle or drop earring with a masculine charm, like a cross or skull symbol at the end of the chain. Or you could consider ear cuffs to decorate your ears without the need for a piercing.

Picking out earrings for men means considering a few things.

• What are you wearing the earrings for? For everyday wear, simple designs, like plain hoop earrings or stud earrings, are best.
• What skin tone do you have? Those with warm undertones should opt for yellow gold styles, whereas those with cooler undertones tend to suit silver styles.
• What is your personal style? If you tend to dress in more decadent and colourful clothing, then statement styles might be right for you. For those who wear lots of clean lines, simple and understated earrings might be best.
• What kind of piercings do you have? If you have just one lobe piercing, then you might consider a simple hoop or stud. If you have cartilage piercings, you might get more creative with chains and drops. If you have no piercings, then magnetic earrings or ear cuffs are best.

Some trending earring styles for men include the following.

• Men's cross earrings: Cross earrings are very popular when men wear earrings. The cross shape has a certain masculinity to it and can be fitted to huggies as well as studs.
• Men's tribal earrings: Tribal styles are another popular style among masculine designs. These earrings might be made of wood or black metal and have tribal engravings.
• Men's diamond stud earrings: Believe it or not, a simple diamond stud is one of the most common men's styles for earrings. It's simple and understated but still screams luxury.

Men’s hoop earrings: A single or double hoop look for men has been a mainstay in men’s ear jewellery for years. This understated look is a common everyday option for men with pierced ears.

While there are plenty of men's earrings for piercings available, just like with women's styles, you can wear earrings without any piercing holes as a man, too.

Men's ear cuff earrings are very popular at present as a way of wearing multiple earrings without the need for correlating piercings. Cuffs slide onto the ear and hug the lobe or cartilage, making it look like the wearer has piercings but without the needles!

Men's magnetic earrings are also an option. These earrings, as they sound, attach to the lobe or cartilage by a magnet on either side.

Of course, men can wear hoop earrings. In fact, small hoops are very common in men's jewellery. At Camile & Stone, we offer men's stud and hoop earrings so that you have lots of choices.

For men's hoops, you tend to find hoop earrings with a much smaller diameter than women's hoops. Hoop earrings tend to be more fitted to the lobe or cartilage and sometimes have drop charms, like letters, initials, or shapes.

On top of piercing hoop earrings, you can also find men's cuff earrings, which can replicate the look of a hoop but don't require a piercing hole. These earrings hug the lobe or cartilage to remain in place.

Why shouldn't men wear earrings should be the better question. From Harry Styles to Will Smith to Michael B Jordan, celebrity men have been wearing earrings on the red carpet for years, so why can't men wear earrings?

Men's earrings actually date back to about 7000 BC, meaning it's only in recent times that men's earrings have become taboo in some people's opinions.

Men's earrings can add personality and individuality to your outfit, they can add elegance, and they can make for incredibly thoughtful gifts. If you want to wear earrings as a man, then you absolutely should.

Men can, of course, wear big earrings if they want to. While larger statement earrings tend to be missing from men's earring collections, with the focus being more commonly on stud earring styles, this doesn't mean that men can't wear larger earring styles.

When it comes to any kind of jewellery for any gender, it's all about personal style. If you want to wear larger earrings (and they're appropriate for the event), then you should. Larger styles can look great for parties and events, so your outfit can stand out.

Statement options for men could include hoops with gemstones, a dangle earring with a feather or cross charm, or a large ear cuff that climbs the cartilage in an intricate way.

You might want to avoid wearing larger earrings for physical activity or if you work in a high-traffic environment, like the hospitality or retail sector, simply for safety reasons.
