ANKLET

An anklet is an ornament that wraps the leg just above the foot. It is one of the oldest forms of body adornment, widespread in many cultures — from Ancient Egypt and India (where anklets with little bells had a ritual meaning too) to modern beach and resort fashion. An anklet accentuates the leg and the line of the foot, adding lightness, femininity and effortless sensuality to a look. It is worn mostly in summer, with open footwear or barefoot, often on tanned skin. It comes thin and delicate (a chain) or expressive, with pendants, beads or bells. An anklet is a leg ornament with ancient roots in many cultures, in which wrapping the ankle accentuates the line of the foot, adding summer lightness, femininity and effortless, slightly exotic sensuality to a look.
