I have a plain silver toe ring I wear in summer when i remember/can find it but am thinking I would like to get a gold one and/or simple ankle bracelet for the summer. DH hates them but I like the idea - thoughts please

Hate them.

I was told by someone worldlier than me some years ago that ankle bracelets are worn to signify that a woman is a prostitute. Put me right off them.

bruffin · 02/04/2010 21:55

My mother told me that as well Stepford.

umma · 02/04/2010 21:59

trashy

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 02/04/2010 22:02

I always think of prostitution when someone wears an ankle bracelet.

KAEKAE · 02/04/2010 22:08

No no to the ankle bracelet.

deliciousdevilwoman · 02/04/2010 22:11

No to both.

LynetteScavo · 02/04/2010 22:13

You could probably get away with a toe ring, and a friendship anke bracelet if you are suntanned/naturally dark and under 22.

CeaselessTurmoilSeething · 02/04/2010 22:34

Personally wouldn't be seen dead with either as think they're chavtastic. But if that's the look you're after, go for it..

BitOfFun · 02/04/2010 22:40

Certainly fits the no knickers image

traceybath · 03/04/2010 06:49

Definitely a no from me.

Toe rings were ok about 10 years ago and ankle bracelets - well no - just no.

MamaGlee · 03/04/2010 07:40

I like ankle bracelets

mangoandlime · 03/04/2010 08:57

For want of a better word, chavtastic fits the bill perfectly.

Hmmm. Not sure. I like to be different. I wouldn't say I was Chavvy at all but equally I would not be seen dead in anything from Boden I think I like the idea of little accents of trashy-ness to clash with my otherwise fairly classic style of dressing...still out to annoy my mum even at 32

From a hippy point of view they're absolutely fine. I have bells on my ankle bracelets

muggglewump · 03/04/2010 17:11

I like toe rings, but then I'm not remotely classy so that'll be why

noddyholder · 03/04/2010 17:12

I have a white gold greek hey toe ring which I have had on for about 24 years !I never give any thought to it but have never thought it was trashy maybe it is but everyone has something they just like regardless
