Anklets are the perfect place to begin your fashion revival!
That’s right, they’re making a grand return. Anklets are among the top ten jewelry trends to keep your eye on in 2018.
You might wonder if anklets are just for teenage cliques or beachgoers. Think again.
Read on to learn how anklets are making a stylish comeback and how you can wear them today. Let’s dive in!
How Fashion Trends Come Back
Old photos often make us cringe about our past outfit choices, yet these fashions inevitably reappear. What causes these recurring trends?
Consider the perspective of a fashion designer. There’s only so much innovation in designing tops, bottoms, dresses, and accessories before they must turn to the past for inspiration.
Even the most avant-garde designers look back to see what worked and what didn’t to revive certain styles. Just as modern artists sample old music, fashion recycles vintage looks.
Why the 90’s and Why Now?
The young girls of the 90’s are now full-grown adults. So, it’s the perfect time to revisit those nostalgic styles.
These trends bring back memories for those who lived through the 90’s and introduce new generations to vintage fashion as if it’s brand new.
This benefit of revisiting old styles is that younger people view them as fresh and innovative.
For instance, micro mini skirts from the 80’s and 90’s led to the reintroduction of peasant skirts. Similarly, today’s fashion is looking back at the 90’s in response to early 2000’s trends.
How Anklets Fit In
Anklets are part of this 90’s revival. They’re an iconic yet understated component of this comeback.
Not ready for tiny sunglasses, denim on denim, or iridescent makeup? Anklets offer a subtle tribute to the trend. They’ve been reworked to be better than ever.
How to Wear (and Not Wear) an Anklet
Wondering how to sport this look? It’s easy! Just follow these dos and don’ts:
- Choose a thin, dainty anklet style
- Wear anklets with cropped pants
- Pair them with flats
- Match with backless loafers
- Combine with cute, casual sneakers
- Go barefoot on the beach
- Keep hidden under long pants at work as a playful secret
- Wear on vacation
- Rock at festivals
- Don whenever they make you feel good
- Avoid anklets with tights or leggings
- Skip overly thick chains or woven fabric styles
- Don’t pair with high heels
- Don’t worry if you break any “rules”
Simple, right? If we had to pick one golden rule for modern anklets, it’s that delicate and thin is always in.
Pick an anklet with a delicate chain that highlights your skin tone. Generally, blueish veins signify a cool skin tone, ideal for silver or white gold. Greenish veins or deeper skin tones pair best with yellow gold or copper.
But remember, fashion has no rules. If a silver chain looks stunning on your warm or dark skin tone, wear it proudly!
Have Fun with Your Fashion!
Ultimately, just enjoy yourself. If the anklet trend excites you, find ways to incorporate it into your style! Whether on vacation or a night out, you can’t go wrong.
New to anklets? Experiment! Dainty and classy is the key to modern anklets, pair them with almost anything (except tights).
The 90’s were about fun and flirty fashion, a stark contrast to the early 2000’s trends. So let those ankles shine!
