I have a few, a silver one with little leaf charms from RLM, I wore once practically all summer...just kept it on. But haven't worn it lately. I have another silver with one little charm on it, bought at a craft fair many moons ago, haven't worn in many moons!

And one gold chain one, my mom bought me from QVC...haven't hardly worn.

All that said...I keep those 3 (I used to have others), as I still think I'll wear them occasionally. I never see anyone in them though...are they horribly dated now? Do they look tacky on "women of a certain age?" I wonder...

Of all of them, I could see me wearing the RLM one with a sundress, or shorts, occasionally. "Beachy situations"

I just haven't lately.

I do still like them, and see myself putting them on from time to time. I just haven't thought about wearing them this summer for whatever reason.

I haven't worn one in ages but I think a nice, dainty one is pretty. I don't really see too many people wearing them any more but if you enjoy them, then why not?

I have a stainless steel rope ankle bracelet which stays on all summer until the weather changes and it's boots/long pants time again. I've had sterling ankle bracelets break too many times so I quit buying those.

I wear them all summer! I always wore them so why change now?? I have a couple of silver ones, a gold one, a turquoise one and a beaded one that I had made in Jamaica.

@amyb I don't think they are tacky at all at a certain age. I have friends older than I am that can still rock them. Wear yours in good health! Remember we're still pretty cool, LOL!

They did go out of style, but lately I have been seeing them again, so I started wearing mine again. I only have one. It's a dainty braided gold chain and I only wear it when I'm dressed up. But, I don't really care if it's out of style or not. There seems to be some other jewelry trends that I would never do, so why shouldn't I be able to wear one I like that others might never do?

The jewelry, not the sox, right?

Never had that jewelry, but I think it's cool.

Yes to both (anklet socks and ankle bracelets). I almost always wear socks if not in sandals.

They sell them so somebody must be wearing them but I haven't seen many women wearing anklets.

I have several ankle bracelets and I still wear them. My favorite is an Imperial Gold mirror bar link. I also have a Byzantine, a rope, and a heart charm ankle bracelet in yellow gold and a box link in white gold.

I haven't been out much this Summer because of the heat and my fear of covid. But when I do get out and about I almost always put on one of my ankle bracelets. I love them and think they look so pretty on women. My favorite is a heavy 14 kt byzantine I bought from Shophq many years ago when people could afford gold. I also have 3 smallet gold ones that I bought a very long time ago. These days you ight be able to get a gold anklet about the size of dental floss for hundreds. That's a shame because a lot more women would wear them if they were affordable. Even sterling ones can be expensive.

Neither have I. I have one gold one, but rarely wear it anymore. I remember wearing it at vacation on the beach, but that's it. So it sits in my jewelry box. I used to wear it with sandals and invisible socks in sneakers. The plastic ones are still worn by some pre-teen girls.

My mother had two ways of telling girls with loose morals, ankle bracelets and pierced ears. I got my ears pierced once I was out of the house, but never did get an ankle bracelet. She was OK with the ear piercing by then, though.
