Ankle Bracelets Uncovered

Q: On which leg do you wear an ankle bracelet? The right leg or the left leg?

A: I get this question all summer long, every summer. There's no right or wrong. You can choose either ankle, but you should wear them only in purely social settings. Especially at a time of year when many people go without nylons, a delicate gold chain ankle bracelet can be an attractive part of your accessorized look for a social outing.

Ankle bracelets should not be worn with nylons or in professional settings. In most office environments appropriate jewelry for women includes one earring per ear, one ring per hand, a watch, and either a bracelet, or a brooch or a necklace. All the pieces should add to a woman’s professionalism and should complete a look rather than creating distraction.
