Summer is fast approaching, and with it comes the season for... anklets! They're the absolute ultimate summer accessory, adding a holiday vibe to any summer outfit. Check out our guide on which anklets are trending right now, which leg to wear them on, and how to avoid crossing the line between fashion and fashion faux pas!
What does the bracelet on the right leg mean?
A friend of ours recently expressed this opinion over coffee: "The first thing I do when I feel the temperature rising significantly outside is not to change the duvet for a lighter one – oh no! I quickly head to my magical drawer, full of summer accessories, in search of one small but oh-so-significant symbol of summer – an anklet."
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, an anklet isn't just jewelry. It's not just an accessory. It's irrefutable proof that summer has fully settled into our landscape, our lives, and, of course, on our feet.
Besides its fashion significance, in some cultures, an anklet also has symbolic meaning. For example, a bracelet on the right leg is a symbol of status or power, while in still other regions, it can be a sign of belonging to a social group or religion. Depending on the location, the answer to the question of what an anklet means may vary. In our culture, such an accessory on the ankle means nothing more than that it's warm, it's vacation time, and you like unobvious accessories that, while seemingly discreet, say a lot about you.

Just imagine what it looks like: the first warm days, people slowly ditching long pants in favor of flowing dresses and shorts, and flip-flops replacing heavy boots. And that's when it appears – subtle, delicate, sometimes colorful, sometimes ethereal gold or silver. An anklet that delicately wraps around the ankle is like a summer flirtation – discreet, yet promising.
And it doesn't matter if you're on vacation, at work, or out with a friend. Wear it every day, whenever you want. Wear a delicate gold or silver chain every day, and on vacation, go wild with a bracelet with beads, a pendant, or pearls. Don't limit yourself to just one; wear several chains and adorn your ankle.

Why is it the ultimate summer accessory? Well, because summer is when we show off our legs, so when better to wear an anklet than during the summer months, or in a warm place somewhere else? An anklet goes with everything associated with summer. It pairs perfectly with beach flip-flops, is a great complement to summer dresses, and can even spice up sneakers, adding a touch of summery nonchalance.
Seeing someone wearing an anklet, we immediately know: they're feeling good, in a summer mood, and know how to highlight their best features. An anklet wearers aren't afraid of spontaneous trips to the beach, long walks along the seashore, or exploring summer festivals. An anklet is like an unwritten code of thumb for vacation enthusiasts who make the most of every day.
What's more, it's one of those accessories that can be endlessly personalized. Shells, stones, strings, pearls – the selection of charms and embellishments is as diverse as the ways we spend summer days. Everyone can find something for themselves, something that best reflects their summer self. If you want a truly unique bracelet, we recommend a gold chain and charms from the Fancy collection. Since this accessory is most likely to get dirty, we recommend choosing a bracelet made of precious metal, such as gold or silver. This guarantees that with just a little care, it will last a long time. Simply wash it occasionally with mild soap and water and dry it on a towel.
So let anklets become our shared summer symbol, a symbol that says: it's summer and we want to enjoy it.
Let each anklet be a small reminder that life is now – between one sunrise and one sunset. Summer is for celebrating every moment, enjoying life, nature, and finding joy in these moments.
Which leg should you wear a bracelet on?
Traditionally, anklets are worn on the right leg, but in the world of fashion, there are no rules! Prefer a bracelet on your left leg? Wear one on your left leg! Or go wild and wear bracelets on both legs – yes, that's perfectly acceptable, especially if you can't decide which style is prettier.
Which ankle bracelet style should you choose?
The anklet trend is as diverse as the trend for... socks. We have classics like classic chains that fall delicately around the ankle, creating a subtle accent. But for the more daring, we recommend bracelets with shells, beads, stones, and various charms. For lovers of minimalism, thin silver or gold chains are perfect; you'll find several weaves to choose from in our store. Meanwhile, boho fans can go wild with ethnic patterns and thicker, richly embellished materials that will add character to even the simplest sandal outfit.
When to wear an anklet?
Anklets are like best friends – perfect for any occasion! Subtle, metal versions are perfect for everyday wear. Going to a festival? Opt for colorful, ornate styles. And for a romantic stroll on the beach, wear something with seashells – they'll add charm and evoke a maritime atmosphere.
Does an anklet go with an elegant outfit?
Absolutely! Choose delicate, stone accents that will enhance the elegance of an evening dress, but remember not to overdo it – don't let the bracelet overshadow your radiance.
Anklets are a great way to add a little spice to your summer outfits. Whether you opt for subtlety or a total splurge, remember that fashion is, above all, fun. Experiment, mix styles, and don't be afraid to express yourself – after all, summer days are for enjoying every moment... and every anklet!
