The return of anklets: 15 sophisticated picks for the season
Anklets, once relegated to nostalgic or bohemian styling, have re-emerged as a refined accessory for summer 2025. No longer confined to casual beachwear, they are now appearing in polished iterations—think delicate gold chains, pearl strands, and diamond accents—worn by style influencers and celebrities alike. Hailey Bieber has been spotted layering thin, minimalist designs, while fashion insiders are embracing subtle charms and personalized touches. The trend speaks to a broader shift toward understated yet intentional jewelry, where even the smallest details carry weight. Styling these pieces requires a measured approach. Pearl anklets lend quiet sophistication to linen separates or slip dresses, while gold links—whether sleek or textured—pair seamlessly with tailored shorts and loafers. For evenings, diamond or pavé designs add discreet shimmer, best showcased with bare legs and sleek silhouettes. Meanwhile, personalized charms (Arabic script, understated symbols) offer individuality without overwhelming a look. Below are 15 standout anklets that balance trend and timelessness. Here are our favourite anklet picks of the season The resurgence of anklets reflects a growing appreciation for accessories that merge versatility with quiet luxury. Unlike louder seasonal trends, these pieces work across contexts—from resort wear to urban ensembles—without demanding attention. Designers are responding with options that range from investment-worthy heirlooms to contemporary twists on classic motifs. As summer unfolds, expect to see further experimentation: mixed metals, architectural shapes, and perhaps even high-jewellerry interpretations. – For more on luxury lifestyle, news, fashion and beauty follow Emirates Woman on Facebook and Instagram Images: Supplied & Feature Image: Pinterest
