For some, hoops are just jewelry—cute, classic, maybe a little retro. But for so many Black and Latinx folks, they’re a whole vibe. They’re the gentle swing of confidence, the shine of self-expression, and a little bit of I dare you in every step. The thing about hoops is they’ve always held their ground. Whether hanging from the ears of ancient queens or rocking the streets of the Bronx in the ‘90s, they’ve been through it all. Hoops have gone from powerful to “too much,” from “ghetto” to runway gold—and somehow, they never lost their magic. Even now, when dress codes and side-eyes try to say they’re “unprofessional” or “inappropriate,” Black and Latinx folks who choose to wear them are doing their thing—adorning, affirming, and turning heads. Because sometimes, the boldest statements aren’t spoken—they’re worn. And every hoop is a little circle of joy, culture, and “try me” energy that makes the world just a bit more fun.
