I tell you what questionnaires are, where they came from and how to wear them.

The catwalks have long been filled with images from the 90s. And now a new accessory from a bygone era has appeared in trends - the questionnaire. The stylish anklet has been extremely popular in the past. In addition, it has a rich and rather romantic history. Today we will talk about it and how to wear it correctly.

Where did the questionnaires come from?

This beautiful accessory from the nineties has its roots in human history. Anklets have been popular in the East for a long time. The first jewelry of this type was found during the excavation of Sumerian tombs. In Ancient India, it was considered a sign of a status and wealthy woman from a decent family.

Even now, in Indian traditions, the questionnaire is one of the obligatory wedding accessories. Previously, the husband gave it to his future wife as a sign of pure and sincere love. A married girl was supposed to wear it on her left leg. The bracelet on the right meant a girl with too frivolous views.

In Ancient Egypt, questionnaires also had their own history. They indicated the status of the owner, her social position.Wealthy ladies wore bracelets made of precious metals, decorated with stones. Their slaves were given ordinary leather strips, hung with shells or stones as decoration.

And only in the 20th century did the fashion for questionnaires come to the West. True, in our world no sacred meanings have been preserved for the bracelet. This is simply a beautiful accessory that looks original in an everyday look.

How to wear it correctly

Anklets were brought into fashion by brands such as Chanel, Marc Jacobs, Chloe and others. On the catwalks they showed us dozens of interesting looks - both business and everyday. Of course, you don’t have to worry about status stereotypes. But you shouldn’t forget the rules for choosing and wearing jewelry, otherwise the profile will simply look ridiculous.

Stylish gold bracelets made in the form of a thin chain with jewelry are a special accessory. It is suitable only for mature, established women who prefer a business style in clothing. You should wear such a vest only on important occasions, for example, to an expensive restaurant.

Silver bracelets are much less obligatory. They will fit well into almost any everyday look. They can be combined with shorts or casual. Anklets of this type look great not only with pumps, but also with sneakers, clogs or sandals.

A separate line should include accessories made of large beads or shells, imitating bracelets of bygone times. In ordinary life, they are, unfortunately, inappropriate. It is better to save such jewelry for a beach walk or a special ethnic look. However, they will fit well into the boho style.

The so-called “payals” have also come into fashion. These are briefs that imitate sandals, but without soles. A similar accessory would also be appropriate on the beach. It also looks great on the feet of a bride who has decided to have her wedding in an oriental style.

Basic rules

There are other, more universal recommendations regarding this accessory. They are:

• You need to wear bracelets with an outfit that reveals your ankles. These could be breeches, mini- and midi-skirts, cropped trousers and so on.
• Wear a vest and keep your feet clean. Be sure to get a good pedicure. No calluses, corns, or yellowish nails.
• You should not wear the anklet to the office. It will look out of place.
• The accessory should not be worn over stockings or tights. This looks eccentric and in most cases is simply out of place. Not to mention the fact that metal can accidentally damage delicate fabric.
• To visually narrow your ankle, wear thin chain jewelry with a dangling charm.
