12 Outfit-Elevating Anklets We Love

May 23

Give your summer style a leg up

They’re baaa-aack. There seems to be no end in sight for the 90’s-nostalgia style revival, and as we peel back the winter layers, yet another has been revealed—anklets. But these modern-millenium versions are nothing like the cheapies you might remember dropping your allowance on at the mall or along the boardwalk—designers have reimagined the style in a sophisticated way, with a focus on fine materials.

You’ll find the classic subtle strand of gold, perfect for everyday wear, petite pearls that add a little flair to preppy canvas kicks, rows of rainbow beads just begging to be worn to the beach, and even options inspired by tennis bracelets, intended to adorn your fanciest heels. Pick your favorite, and put your best foot forward.
