Ankle Bracelets?

Julie928 — Fri, 07 Feb 2014 00:25:07 GMT

Just curious what you ladies think about ankle bracelets? I have a few from Brighton that I would like to wear when (and if) it ever warms up but was wondering if you think they're still in style? I ask because you just don't see very many of them being sold on the Q or JTV for that matter. I know Brighton still carries them, but not as many as they used to. I look forward to reading what all you ladies think! Thanks!

I think it's up to you, but I personally think they should be worn casually with flats or sandals - I think it looks really tacky with heels (or stockings . . yikes!).

I don't like them unless they are on a teenager. I personally find them to be déclassé.

I've worn them in years past and also have a few Brighton ankle bracelets. However I didn't wear one all last summer. I just felt like they weren't in anymore....maybe I'm wrong. I wore them casually.

I love mine and wear them all summer. Who is to say what is in or not? I see a lot of women wearing them. They do dress up the leg especially when wearing a skirt or dress without pantyhose.

Wear whatever pleases you. Even after reading these few posts it's clear that there are various opinions about ankle bracelets. I personally don't think there is anything wrong with any age woman wearing them. I also think they're fine with heels, or with shorts/capris and sandals. In my opinion there is nothing tacky about an ankle bracelet...unless the rest of the outfit is tacky. Granted, I haven't seen them very much in the last few years here in CA, but that wouldn't stop me from wearing one if I wanted. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if they weren't ready to make a big comeback this summer. To each her own. Vive la difference.

Ankle bracelets and toe rings both seem to be out.

I love ankle bracelets and have several. They are somewhat difficult to find and I won't spend more than $25/$30 for one but I like the way they look. Toe rings I find very uncomfortable.

I wear one all the time and have since I was a little girl. It is just a part of my style. I love them.

If you like ankle bracelets, wear them. I have three sterling ankle bracelets. I didn't wear any of them last year, but if I'm in the mood this summer, I will.

Ankle bracelets were the sign of a ""Pro"" in Europe..

the Caribbean and many Latin Countries...

Some women from the USA who were approached by

men... were insulted and bewildered by the request and

did not realize that their ankle bracelets were doing their

advertising...

Long ago when people bought their travel tickets from a

Travel Agent the Agent would point out these things to

the travelers... Now they are on their own...

I love them. I have several, some sterling, more Steel by Design. I wear them as soon as it warms up so I can wear sandals, and do wear them when I wear heels in the summer.

I only have one, and I love it. I actually got it here at the Q, several years ago. I love them in the summer, with cute flat sandals! I have never worn mine with heels or in a dressy way, but feel it would be OK also. My H loves them, and thinks it is a very sexy look.

I will say I do have a male family member that feels they are always....um trashy looking...(not his actual word, I am not sure the boards allow his word) I was shocked to hear this, but guess maybe others do view them this way too. I don't care. Mine is dainty, beautiful, and I love mine, an don't care if they are "in" or not. JMHO.

I have a set of three sterling ankle bracelets I ordered from QVC years ago.....one has tiny pink DMQ stations, one is all sterling, and one is clear DMQ stations...they are very dainty and I wear one with sandals all summer when it is warm

I have one toe ring but I haven't worn it much; I didn't see many wearing them last year

Right. And what year was this? Before or after Marconi invented the radio?

Thanks for the replies, everyone! I have a few, but my two favorites have birds on one and little peace signs on the other (both Brighton). I remember when the Q sold Brighton jewelry & handbags ~ would be nice to see that again...

I love ankle bracelets and have worn 4, which I never remove...silver and gold dainty chains. I forget they are on, lol.... I also wear 4 toe rings in both silver and gold, all very dainty also. They've become a part of my toes by now I think. I find them very feminine. I go bare foot most all year long.... or wear flip flops at times. They never go out of style at any age, imho... My feet seem to be the only thing that do not age, lol.... Most I buy from Amazon at low prices and a lot of choices there...so that's good. I do what I like and don't pay attention to any trend or what others do.
