Silver Anklets Are Back: How to Wear Payal in 2026

Anklets, or payal, have been part of Indian tradition for generations — and they are quietly becoming one of the most stylish accessories of the moment. Light, playful and endlessly wearable, a silver anklet adds charm to almost any outfit.

With ethnic wear

A classic silver payal with tiny ghungroos is the perfect match for sarees, lehengas and anarkalis. The soft sound and gentle shine feel festive without being heavy. For a fuller look, pair a broader anklet on one foot with a delicate one on the other.

With Western outfits

Yes, anklets work beautifully with jeans, dresses and skirts too. A thin, minimal silver chain anklet looks effortless with summer outfits and sandals. Keep it dainty for an everyday vibe.

One anklet or two?

Traditionally worn as a pair, anklets now follow no rules. A single anklet on one ankle looks modern and intentional, while a matched pair feels classic. Do whatever feels like you.

Comfort and care

Choose an adjustable or correctly sized anklet so it sits comfortably without pinching. Remove it before workouts or the shower to protect the finish, and store it in a pouch to keep it bright.
