The women's anklet (or Foot Bracelet) is an accessory that has crossed generations, reinventing itself and always remaining in fashion. Delicate, bold, or minimalist, this adornment can transform the simplest look into something special, giving femininity and elegance to the ankles.
The anklet is a delicate, striking and charming piece of jewelry that makes all the difference in your look, whether it's a beach style, a more casual style or a sophisticated style and is gaining more admirers every year. 
Of Arab origin, it was also widely used by Egyptian and Indian women, and in ancient times it was used permanently as a way for husbands to know where their wife was, as they used to have rattles that made noise when walking. But thankfully things have changed and its use has been re-signified, and currently this accessory is more associated with beauty and sensuality.
At the end of the 20th century, it began to be used as a fashion accessory in the United States, as well as in other parts of the West. In India it is still widely used, especially in Indian weddings, where brides usually receive it as a gift from their husbands and signify their respect and affection. It is common for Indian women to wear pairs of anklets combined with toe rings.

But how to wear an ankle bracelet? So let's find out!

Choose Style

Just as it happens with clothes, which go out of fashion and come back in fashion, it also happens with anklets and, this year, it's a super trend!
They come in different materials such as leather, cowrie shells, beads and, for those who like to wear them all the time, silver or gold anklets are ideal, as they are of higher quality and last for generations.
The first step to wearing an anklet is choosing the style that best suits your personality and the look you want to create. There are several types of anklets, from the most discreet and thin, to the most elaborate, with pendants or thicker chains.

Minimalist: If your style is more discreet, opt for thin and delicate anklets, in silver or gold, without many details.
Boho: For a more casual look, anklets with beads, shells, and pendants are perfect and go well with summer and festival looks.
Elegant: Anklets with details in colored stones or crystals provide sophistication, being ideal for more formal occasions.

How to Combine

Combination is the key to wearing the anklet harmoniously. A tip to remember is to balance this accessory with the rest of the look.

Casual Looks: Anklets work great with jeans, shorts, dresses and skirts, especially if the footwear is sandals or open shoes. For more casual looks, thin, simple anklets are ideal.
Beach Looks: For a day at the beach, an anklet with shells or made of leather gives a boho-chic look. Pair them with flip-flops or wear them barefoot for a totally relaxed look.
Sophisticated Looks: For evening or more elegant events, opt for an anklet with stones or crystals. It can be combined with high heels and long or midi dresses that leave the ankle exposed, for a very sexy and appealing look.

How to Use

It is a delicate accessory that complements any look, conveying the essence and personality of the wearer. Regarding footwear, it can be used with:

Stilletos and mules: Very elegant shoes, with the difference that the mule does not have the back, the heel. They are lightweight and versatile shoes. mules replace classic high heels on some occasions, while still being elegant. Those with a pointed toe and neutral colors like caramel and nude tend to elongate the silhouette. Those with a rounded toe have a more romantic look. If you wear a printed model, with glitter, buckles or metal details, the ideal is to wear an anklet without pendants so it doesn't look too heavy.

Flat shoes: Very comfortable to wear in the summer, this type of shoe (sandals, espadrilles, flats and flip-flops) goes well with summer clothes. The ankle bracelet is infallible in these compositions!

Sneakers: Until recently, the use of sneakers was restricted to sports and casual or streetwear looks. Lately, its use has gone viral and has spread to dresses, midi skirts, jeans, short pants and even more elegant combinations such as suits (tailleurs), giving a casual and always comfortable look. To complement a look with sneakers, use and abuse silver or gold anklets, like this Lucky Clover Foot Bracelet 9K Yellow Gold, which you can purchase at Lusijoia.

Usage Tips

Balance with Other Accessories: When wearing an anklet, choose not to overdo it with other accessories. For example, if you wear large earrings or flashy necklaces, opt for a more discreet anklet.
Anklet Height: The anklet should be comfortable, without constricting the ankle. If it's adjustable, try different heights to see what looks best with your chosen shoe.
Ideal Shoes: Anklets are more visible with shoes that leave the ankle exposed, such as sandals, heels with thin straps, or even barefoot in more relaxed environments.

Anklet Care

As it is a piece that is close to the floor, the anklet is more prone to dirt and possible damage. Some care tips include:

Cleaning: Clean the anklet regularly, especially if used on the beach, to remove sand and salt that could damage the material.
Storage: Store the anklet separately from other accessories to prevent it from getting tangled or scratched.
Avoid Excess Water: Although many anklets are resistant, avoid excessive contact with water, especially if it is a silver or gold piece, to preserve its shine and durability.

When to Use

The anklet can be used on different occasions, from everyday life to more formal events. However, avoid wearing it in very formal work environments or in situations that require a stricter dress code. On the other hand, they are perfect for weekends, vacations, and outdoor parties. Our advice is that you use and abuse it during the month of August!
