Remember school days when we are asked to draw a village girl. She would be incomplete without ornaments especially what she wears on her legs: anklets. From those times to times where girls wear over jeans and miniskirts! This is the beauty of fashion. It takes something from somewhere and fits on something else which merges so well.
Today, anklets are a symbol of so many things. Most girls prefer to wear anklets only on one leg. It symbolizes non linearity, freedom of expression and above all, adornment of the human self. Anklets are distinctly visible and thus most girls want to flaunt various colours, designs and styles in anklets.
While some prefer just a single thin silver string with different colored beads in it, others prefer chunky big silver and gold anklets with big stones and beads attached on it.
One of the best parts of anklets is the beautiful sound that they make while one walks or runs. In the local language, especially in rural areas, anklets are called jhanjars and they are usually worn in both legs.
Anklets can be worn with salwar kameez and churidars as well. However, if you want your anklet to be visible, wear a chunky one. Matching anklets with earrings is preferred by most young women especially when they are dressed in Indian wear.
