How to Measure Your Ankle
To find the right anklet size, follow these simple steps to measure your ankle accurately:
- Use a flexible tape (or string + ruler).
- Wrap above the ankle bone, around the narrowest part of your ankle. Ensure it's snug but not tight; note the length (cm or inches).
- Add ease for comfort: see “Choose Your Fit”.

Standard Anklet Sizes
Anklets come in various standard sizes. Here’s a quick guide to help you understand typical anklet lengths and their corresponding fit:
- Small: 20–23 cm (8–9") — suitable for petite ankles
- Medium: 23–25 cm (9–10") — fits most average-sized ankles
- Large: 25–28 cm (10–11") — roomier fit, ideal for slightly larger ankles
- XL: 28 cm+ (11"+) — For larger ankles or those who prefer a looser fit
Tips for Choosing Your Right Fit
- Snug: ankle + 1.25 cm (≈ 0.5") or choose a size that is your exact ankle measurement for a snug fit.
- Comfort (everyday): ankle + 2 cm (≈ 0.8") or add 0.5 inches (1.25 cm) to your ankle measurement for a comfortable, everyday wear fit.
- Loose/boho: ankle + 2.5 cm (≈ 1") or more for a looser, more relaxed fit
Style Notes
When choosing the size of your anklet, consider the style and how you intend to wear it:
- Slim anklets: closer fit looks neat and elegant (aim for snug/comfort). For delicate, slim anklets, a closer fit looks elegant and refined. Add about 0.5 inches (1.25 cm) to your ankle measurement for a snug fit.
- Chunky or beaded: a touch looser often sits better (comfort/loose). For chunkier designs, a slightly looser fit can be more comfortable and aesthetically pleasing. Add up to 1 inch (2.5 cm) to your ankle measurement.
- Charm anklets: leave enough slack so charms move freely. If your anklet has charms, ensure there’s enough slack for the charms to move freely without causing discomfort.
