How to wear an anklet
3 min read · Beach Bead Co
An anklet is a small detail that makes an outfit feel finished. It works at the beach, in the park and on the way to work.
Here are easy ways to wear one.
On the sand
Barefoot is the classic look. A beaded anklet looks pretty against sun-warmed ankles and a bit of sand.
Take it off before you swim, as our care notes suggest.
With sandals
Wear it with flat sandals or slides. Keep the strap simple so the anklet does the talking.
The Shell Bead Anklet is made of shell and small resin beads that catch the eye.
In the city
Try it with cropped jeans and sneakers or loafers with no socks. Let a little ankle show and the anklet will peek out.
Keep other jewelry quiet when you wear it, such as a single bracelet.
Fit and feel
An anklet should sit just above the ankle bone.
Check the anklet size guide to find your fit.
Pairing with a bracelet
An anklet looks right when it echoes something on your wrist. The Shell Bead Anklet has shell and small resin beads, so a Glass Bead Stretch Bracelet in a similar color ties the look together.
The anklet comes in three styles. Check the size guide before you order, since all sales are final.
