Tacky me! I love ankle bracelets and wear them all summer. I'm old enough to be everyone's GGM, and there is no possible way I could care less about hoity toity opinions on this board.

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...

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

Probably before, goes along with story that a single earring denotes s--ual orientation.

Ankle bracelets are in. I wear mine in the summer, when I get my toes done.

I wore some boot jewelry/bracelets back in the day. Gave a nice accent to them. Never wore ankle bracelets as such.

[Lipstickdiva]

I wear them all the time in the summer. I would never wear one under or over hosiery as I've seen people do.

Some of the stuff I read on this board is hilarious!

Jean Harlow wearing her favorite/lucky ankle bracelet on her left ankle. I remember seeing pictures of Marilyn Monroe and Betty Grable with a thin gold chain ankle bracelet...

Not a fan of ankle bracelets - but if you like them, fine - wear them in the summer.

I think they are dated! A toe ring is a little more fashion forward, JMHO

I see women wearing them in Vegas all the time. Being a warmer climate, sandals and bare legs are almost year-round thing. I think they're cute, especially with a good pedicure. I've never worn one myself, nor would I because it isn't my style, but if it is your style, then by all means, wear 'em!

I think they're cute.

Personally, I LIKE it when people do things that aren't in or trendy. If you do what you do when others aren't and feel confident doing it, that's a sense of personal style. If you're doing what everyone else does, that's just following trends. Anyone can follow trends.

I have been lucky enough to travel Europe, the Caribbean and to Latin countries and have never been propositioned because I was wearing an ankle bracelet. Maybe the guys weren't personally interested in my looks, but a "pro" is a pro and the guys usually don't necessarily go to them for pure beauty. In fact, my sister lived in Italy when she was first married for 11 years. I was there visiting many times. And I'm pretty sure my own sister would have warned me! What century did this even happen in? And in what countries?
