3 Classy Ways to Wear Hoops
On-Duty
Hoops aren’t exactly the same as a revealing top or a questionably high hemline, but they can feel a little risqué in the workplace. Put all those hangups on the back burner, because we’re telling you they can be a major player in a sartorially successful getup. For your nine to five, skip the suit and pair those hoops with flowy high-waist trousers, a modern oversized top and sleek heels for the perfect blend of classic, boho and urban chic.

Party On
Dress up a psychedelic shift with a sassy pair of hoops and structured accessories that scream sophistication. The eye-catching baubles will no doubt play up this fanciful frock’s ’60s vibes, but a pair of luxe slip-on sandals will bring the look back to the 21st century (and keep your feet happy while you’re shakin’ it on the dance floor).

Off-Duty
We just couldn’t resist. These babies go way back, and we’re all about that throwback style. Take your weekend wear on a trip down memory lane with an A-line button-front skirt and printed tee combo. Your go-to hoops and a colorful interpretation of classic aviators drive those retro vibes home, while an on-trend backpack and chunky cutout shoes infuse the getup with a cool, contemporary edge.
