What do you think about them in general? Lots of people (especially in the past) considered them trashy. :|


The things prostitutes and strippers were known for wearing back in my day are common and accepted now. Only thing that hasn't caught on is clear heels with a damned goldfish swimming around in the platform.
The fake nails, eye lashes, dark eye shadow, over drawn lipstick and eyeliner, glitter, dyed hair, implants, tattoos, hoop earrings, name plate necklaces with some dudes name on it...
But hey, you do you sis... but to normal people, you guys look like a dirty musty wash rag with all of that trash on. Imagine the money you'd save fixing your self esteem instead of trying to look like some whooooor...
So wanting to buy something you like/find pretty means you're trying to fix your self esteem? Where did you get that lol
Confessions of women whom had low self esteem? Its funny because what's pretty to YOU changes every ten years or so. Like I said above, everyone, even women KNEW what a stripper/prostitutes uniform was back in the day, yet here we are and that BS is mainstream and you kids think you own the trend now.
Those, in the picture, aren't large! I've seen MUCH bigger!! My dog could jump through them!! But, no, they don't look trashy. The trashy ones are the ones black chicks were wearing a decade or two ago where they were basically wearing HUGE name plates in their ears!!! Those and those STUPID fake gold ones that looked like huge Greek pillars!!! I swear to Buddha, they go out of their way to LOOK stupid!!!
They are called bamboo or doorknockers. And they weren't trashy either.
@ShaTTeredMasterpeace They weren't?
@FunkyMonkee Agreed 100%
Well that’s racist that’s apart of our culture it’s not ghetto and trashy. Just because you don’t like it don’t mean no one should wear them. How would you feel if some one said some of the things in your culture were trashy?
@whatsupbri Darlin, if I sneeze the wrong way, it's racist!! Get over it!! I nearly married an Indian girl that's 3 or 4 shades darker than you!!
I've seen LOTS of pictures of Africans and I have YET to see any wearing those types of earrings so, HOW is that part of your culture, again?
Black and African is not the same. We may look similar but it’s technically not the same. Ask any African they are not the same. Black generally refers to African American in America!
We know who you’re referring to. And regardless of whom you married it’s still a bogus comment. Nothing about it is right.
When I mentioned culture I meant culture of hip hop in America and what us as black girls used to wear. The fact that you said “black girls” denotes who you’re referring to. It is apart of how we have worn our style period. If it wasn’t you wouldn’t have just said it yourself. Clearly you have noticed us wearing it in the past.
Black women have always been known to wear earring as you described.
So yes what you said is offensive. Because I know and you know who wore those kinda earrings the most.
Personally I never wore them never liked them but what you said was borderline racist. You called it stupid. Just because it’s not something you like doesn’t make it stupid. Other places around the world other cultures have a sense of style that probably wouldn’t be a norm or even look right in American eyes. But it’s wrong to say it’s stupid.
You entitled to have your opinion but that comment is insensitive that’s what I’m trying to convey.
Example in Native American culture they wear all types of different accessories it may not be my taste or even popular but what if I said it was stupid etc… this is just an example
I’m merely just saying it’s insensitive and offensive.
@whatsupbri Then, why are they called AFRICAN-Americans?
G it’s not the same
There’s a long history behind this. We have a similar linage with related ancestors and genetics are similar. Yes
I’m not saying it isn’t.
I’m simply saying
African American culture is different than African culture.
I know this on a personal level
But here is not the space for a history lesson it seems like you are trolling at this point.
How can you comment on something you have little knowledge on and patience to even see what I’m talking about?
I’m not mad none of that people can talk and disagree without it always having to be a fight or controversy.
You can inbox me if there’s an issue🤷🏽♀️ what’s up?
It wasn't fake jewelry either it was very expensive to wear those back in the day
@sarah_young61 They were PLASTIC!!
I think some girls pulled it off really well rather it’s small or big. When I was in high school, I used to love wearing them to look cool 😂 but as I adult, I stopped cuz my style changed and I feel like I have the type of face I can easily look like a baddie if I wanna with certain styles 😅 but it’s not the look I want.. or people will easily labeled me as an ABG haha. But lately, I did try to add new style with more stylish hoop earrings than the original since I like unique looks.
What's an ABG?
Oh, really? I've never heard of that term before. Interesting.
@bobalife Well, I did as an adult. But when I was growing up in my teen years (when most of the pop culture influence happens in a person's life), there weren't many Asians at all!
I have really chubby cheeks so big hoops are all I wear. Smaller earrings don't fit my face well. Idc if people think they're trashy. I love em.

It depends on the outfit. I think large hoops can look good if place with the right outfit. So say, you are wearing something fairly plain or modest, a good hoop can really pop.
Here are the 3 things men hate the most, fake eyelashes (especially super long ones), fake hair, and those fake press-on claws. I don't mean press on nails in general, the super long claws that a lot of women are putting on. It makes a woman look ridiculous, like a clown. And if you have all 3, that's not even that person anymore, they are a caricature of a person they think they want to be.
Point being, if a woman has too much fake stuff on, its a safe bet she's a fake all the way around.
They are sexy not classy. Usually i assume girls with a big hoop are slutty. Im not aware of any non slutty girls who wear them and every slutty girl i know wears them. The only exception is i told my girlfriend to wear them for me once when we went out.
I understand that. I'm far from a slutty person but I wouldn't be surprised if people would see me as more of a... well a b! tch lol
I think some women pull them off really nicely! I don’t think they are trashy. If someone wants to make a statement with their earrings then you do you!
One thing I love about them, is that a lot of women who are going through cancer treatments wear them to feel empowered (once they start going through chemo and lose their hair etc) My friends cousin did this. This purpose alone would make me love hoop earrings.
Don't care really. Probably wouldn't even notice a girl wearing them or not. It's one of those things i would put in The girl thinks it matter's more than it does to a guy Box. There will be weirdo's who are strongly ageist it for no reason tho and those who do find it attractive one man's trash is another man's treasure. But at a level headed approach it don't really matter.
While I love piercings.
for these it’s very much down to the person and their style.
more of a girlie type outfit.
I can live with them and as usual it’s her choice, but it’s going to be linked a lot to the outfit, style she has.
I don't consider them to be trashy, but they don't go with most outfit styles, in my opinion.
Do you think they could go with some basic (jeans, tee, boots) outfit and a leather jacket? In my head it looks nice haha I'd also curl my hair a little. I love the slight vintage vibe. :)
They’re super pretty, especially the Bamboo hoop earrings
They can't be freaking huge but if they are like goofball size or a little bigger they look pretty in the right kind of girl
What do you think about the ones in these pictures? Are they alright or too too big?
Second one only. First is too large in my opinion
Thank you for answering!
I think hoops are cute! I've never viewed them as trashy. I think they can compliment some outfits very well. I've never really worn them myself cause I'm too afraid I'd get them hung on something.
You can make it trashy or not w the rest of your look! Overdone makeup and out of style clothing will make it tacky but these are accessories at the end of the day and can be styled to look trendy!!
Yes, I do think they're trashy. Every girl I've ever known that has worn those has been a trashy person. Sorry, but the stereotype fits.
I understand that. But at the same time we only live once. I just like how they look and I like the vibe it offers.
@Jemini_Crocket. That's okay.
What vibe do you think they give off? How would you describe it?
"Confident, willing to stand out from the crowd" kind of vibe. I'm not being edgy or anything but most of the time I was the one who stood out for many reasons and now that I'm older I no longer mind it.
Okay, cool! Thanks for sharing. It's interesting to gain insights into the mindset behind the fashion! :)
I don't think they are trashy, They are just earrings. I'm rather fond of them, to be honest, not entirely sure why, but I think they can look really fetching.
They’re not my cup of tea, but I don’t think they’re “trashy” either. I’m just more of a “studs” kinda girl. If you like them, wear them
I LOVE hoop earrings. I ordered a pair of them but don't know when they're coming. I've always wanted a pair. I can't wait to start wearing them once I receive them
The bigger the hoop the more 'slutty' they look on you...
Is that bad? I don't know, depends on her mood haha, i guess.
Pesonally I think I WOULD SAY GO FOR,, no bigger hoop than in picture2"... because visually looking larger ones don't look that good on girl (taking too much space on girl's face)
*But most important atribute is actual face. If a girl has beautiful face, smiles a lot.. we don't care a lot about else.
It depends on what you wear that make the hoop earrings trashy, the earnings themselves are not trashy.
I used to love them. My last profile picture had them. Now I prefer drops and dangles or just gem studs.
I actually think earrings are hot. I don't know why; maybe it's because they're a very feminine trait. I prefer the smaller, thick hoop ones, though.
I love it with curly hair I think it looks nice especially when Alicia keys wore them back then
It looked very pretty on her indeed :)
I always feel that they are dangerous. I can only imagine that it hooks behind something and tears open the earlobe.
