I remember when those thin, gold chain ankle bracelets were all the rage back in the 1980’s. I still unfortunately sometimes see them still worn (under suntan hose even!), but I think the idea has morphed into something new — dare I say MUCH bolder. This was the look on the Calvin Klein spring/summer 2016 runway.
I’m not sure I could pull it off personally, but I think it’s a much more current interpretation of the ankle bracelet idea. And what about this rendition? I found this on srta-pepis.tumblr.com. Very boho-meets-sporty, if that’s your personal style.
Then, there’s the version where you wear a solid cuff on each ankle. While I’m trying not to see shackles or those prison-issued ankle bracelets, I’m having a tough time wrapping my head around this one.
I think I might like it better if it was only worn on one ankle, not both. What about you? What’s your opinion on the trend? Are you going to head to your jewlery box to see what bracelets you have that would fit around your ankle? Or will you just let this one pass? I’m oh, so curious!

I just chuckled trying to envision me at 73 wearing an ankle cuff 🙂 🙂 🙂
love the Calvin Klein(especially the shoes!), if I had a life to go with the trend, I could see myself doing it. The cuffs, maybe at night with an especially high heel( snakeskin?).

Yea…don’t quite think it’s your look mom. 😉
Hey, you should go for it, Mom. It would inspire others!
Heh–my mom doesn’t expose her ankles. But she has an AMAZING collection of statement necklaces!
Kind of cool, kind of quirky. The last one makes me think the girl is under house arrest.
I’m with you on your opinions!

You definitely have the urban edge for it, Merna!
