Groomed legs, pedicured nails and an elegant anklet and you're all set to impress. Ladies, if you have the good sense of wearing your capris and skirts in the rains, go a step further and don anklets to complete your look. They're not only trendy, but also make your legs look better than they really are. So we tell you what's the right pair for you: Ornamental anklet
From the delicate crystal anklets to the chunky stone studded ones, ornamental anklets can steal the show. These anklets are dressy enough to be the only piece of jewellery on your body, so make sure that you don't over-accessorise your look
Great with: Plain, sober outfits and dull colours like greys, blacks, whites
Personality type: Bold, hip
Chain anklet
Extremely feminine, these anklets look very delicate on the legs. For a more formal look, opt for chain anklets with small stones and intricate designs. Make sure the colour of the anklet chain matches the one around your neck, that's if you are wearing one
Great with: Knee length / short dresses and skirts
Personality type: Girly, subtle
Leather anklet
All you rocker wannabes out there, leather is the thing for you. One look at your ankles and everyone knows that you're not the girly type. However, we suggest that you don't wear very broad leather anklets because they look too loud and spoil the look of your get-up
Great with: Denim capris
Personality type: Tomboy, no-nonsense
Beads anklet
They can be worn with just about everything. But you need to be careful enough to match the colour of your beads with the colour of at least one item in your ensemble. You'll be screaming for attention if you over-accessorise. Keep it simple.
Great with: Dresses, skirts, capris
Personality type: Smart, casual
Payals
Nothing like the quintessential payals when it comes to making a fashion statement. But remember to wear them on both your legs, and avoid the ones with ghungroos, unless you want to be the Chandramukhi of your office
Great with: Indian wear and Indo-western outfits
Personality type: Traditional, sober
