The Rise of Anklets in Summer Fashion

As temperatures rise, anklets have become a summer staple, adding a touch of elegance to bare legs. According to a survey by Mintel in 2025, 45% of women in the UK reported wearing anklets during the summer months. These delicate pieces are perfect for beach holidays and city strolls alike. At Meli Design, we offer a range of handcrafted anklets, each piece reflecting the unique artisan touch that our stall at Greenwich Market is known for.

Anklets can be styled in various ways to complement any summer outfit. Whether you’re wearing sandals or going barefoot, a well-crafted anklet can enhance your look. Pair them with a breezy dress or cropped jeans to let them shine. Our handmade necklaces also make a perfect match with our anklets, allowing you to create a cohesive look.

Exploring Body Jewellery Beyond Anklets

Body jewellery offers a unique way to express personal style, and it’s gaining popularity. Pieces such as belly chains and arm cuffs are not just for festivals; they are entering everyday fashion. According to Statista, the demand for body jewellery increased by 30% in 2026, highlighting a growing trend towards these expressive accessories.

At Meli Design, our body jewellery is crafted with care, using traditional techniques that ensure each piece is both durable and beautiful. Our pieces are designed to be worn comfortably all day, making them perfect for summer adventures. Explore our handmade collection to find the perfect piece that resonates with your style.

Styling Tips for Wearing Body Jewellery

Incorporating body jewellery into your wardrobe can elevate your summer style. Start by choosing pieces that complement your outfit rather than overpowering it. For instance, a simple belly chain can add intrigue to a plain maxi dress, while an arm cuff can highlight a sleeveless top.

Layering is key when it comes to body jewellery. Combining different textures and styles can create a unique look that reflects your personal taste. Pairing body jewellery with other accessories from Meli Design, such as our our story, can help you achieve a well-rounded and personalised style.
