Why Anklets are a Summer Staple
Certain styles of jewelry rise in popularity with each coming season. In the late spring and summer months, the top jewelry of choice is anklets.
According to Lifetime Jewelry, 70% of all anklets are purchased during those months.
“As more women wear shorts or short skirts, they also like to accessorize by showing off their ankles,” said Karen Louise, founder of Lifetime Jewelry. “Anklets look great with casual styles like sandals and also add a stylish touch to heels and fancy shoes.”
Not sure what to make of anklets? Maybe you just haven’t found the right one. Here are some that may enhance your attraction for the much-loved summer accessory, along with some reasons why you need to pick one up this summer!
Anklets Add a Summery Touch to Your Outfit
Whether you’re wearing a floral breezy dress or simply a bathing suit, anklets add an additional pop of summer vibes to your outfit. Especially if you choose a casual design embellished with seashells like Brinker and Eliza’s Blissed Out Anklet.
With its strand of freshwater pearls adorned with gold-plated brass cowrie shells, this anklet looks beach-friendly yet elegant. And because no two pearls are the same in terms of color and size, there’s depth and beauty to this design that looks refined yet casual enough to wear while lounging by the pool–or at the beach.
Anklets Glam Up Your Feet
