Today, anklets are a great accessory for the beach or a picnic, in fact any outdoor activity during the Spring/Summer months where you plan on showing off those ankles can be spiced up with the addition of an Anklet. The most common kinds are made of Silver or Gold and often have small trinkets attached. Of course more affordable versions exist, with leather, nylon or beaded variations being common. The anklet look is at once bohemian and youthful. Try pairing a beaded one for a casual hippy look or go glam by pairing a luxurious gold number with your favorite heels during a night out. Think of an anklet as a secret trick to add something special and not just a bracelet for your ankle. Watch out, though, apparently the wearing of certain kinds of anklets is a sign of participation in certain “swinger” subcultures… so don’t get mistaken for one of those!
