"Huggie Earring" is a popular term for a thick, heavy but short men's hoop earring. They are far wider and bulkier than most women's hoop earrings and can come in many different styles. I've seen some encrusted with gemstones, others accented with two tone metals, and still others branded or engraved with simple geometric patterns for an attractive finished designer look.

Huggie Earrings or Huggy Earrings are a type of hoop earrings that is much thicker and shorter than a normal hoop earring. It is called a Huggie Earring because it seems to "hug" the earlobe, fitting snugly around it. This kind of design is very popular amongst men due to its robust and manly style. Having said that, there are also Huggie Earrings designed specifically for women who prefer this style over the alternative thin and delicate hoops that are commonly available for women.
