Not long ago, earrings were considered an accessory for women and men bold enough to wear them were punks, rockstars or hippies. Occasionally you could see a small stud here and there. Until footballers and actors started proudly showing their (very!) expensive jewelry.
Today, they are a mainstream trend and quickly becoming a very stylish way to express yourself and enhance your outfit. Studs, hoops, huggies, dangles, tunnels, plugs… the choice is endless.
In this year SS catwalk shows, men’s jewellery was everywhere, emphasising both the personal expression and the broader tendency towards gender fluidity and unisex designs.
