Fashion trends have been rather nostalgic of late, especially when it come to jewellery. Like the DIY jewellery trend, anklets are reminiscent of our childhood. Think of all those great memories, running through the playground in our jelly sandals, ruffled socks and dainty little anklets dangling from our feet. Many influencers have taken to this trend too. Before COVID hit, many were layering several anklets such as gold chains, puka shells and friendship bands as a cute way to accessorise. Even brands like Bottega Veneta and Attico created heavy gold chains and leather bands attached to shoes to give the illusion of an anklet.
And what we love about this trend is that it’s a great way to accessorise at home without feeling like your jewellery is in your way. While rings and bracelets could get in the way of typing and necklaces and earrings could feel heavy after an entire day of wearing, anklets are say and light. Giving you the feeling that you’re wearing jewellery but not really as well. Just don’t forget a decent pedicure!
Mix and match your own stack with these chains from Lovisa. You can choose to go minimalist or maximalist depending on how many chains you want to wear.
There’s just something about customised jewellery that makes it so much more special.
