Anklets are the Must-Have Jewellery Trend for Summer 2025
As summer approaches, ankle jewellery is stepping into the spotlight, with high-fashion ankle activity dominating the runways. According to new research by online jewellery brand PRYA, Google searches for “initial anklet”, “evil eye anklet”, “birthstone anklet”, “which ankle for anklet” and “tennis bracelet” increased by 5,000% in the past 30 days.
“The Y2K staple was on every red carpet in the early noughties up until the 2000s. Whether you prefer sleek tubular styles, dainty gold chains or a pearl-encrusted statement piece, there’s an ankle to elevate every look.” Says Arwan Hassan, in-house style director at PRYA.
Which ankle should you wear an anklet on?
Arwa continued, “There’s no right or wrong way to wear an anklet, it’s all about personal preference. Some traditions associate the left ankle with spirituality and the right ankle with wealth and success, but modern styling is all about personal expression.”
How to style anklets for SS25:
- Ballet flat chic: Ballet flats are not going anywhere. Layer several anklets together for a soft, romantic look.
- Sleek and structured: A simple, sleek mule pairs perfectly with chunkier, more structured anklets.
- Timeless elegance: A minimalist silver anklet stacked with classic black pumps is always a good idea.
- Beachside luxe: For a summer getaway, opt for pearl or shell-adorned anklets to channel an elevated coastal vibe.
- Stack and mix: Don’t be afraid to mix metals, stones, or shapes when curating the perfect anklet stack. Layering different textures creates a dynamic, fashion-forward look.
- Y2k nostalgia: If you’re looking to break away from traditional gold or silver, opt for colourful beaded elements or shell embellishments to add a playful touch.
- Minimalist and refined: A delicate anklet paired with heeled sandals is the perfect finishing touch for any summertime occasion.
