Anklet size chart
Measure around your ankle where the anklet will sit, then add about half an inch (1.25 cm) for a close fit, three quarters of an inch (2 cm) for everyday wear, or an inch (2.5 cm) for a loose drape. Many women's anklets come in 9 to 10 inches (23 to 25 cm).

How to measure
- 1
Measure where the anklet will sit
Wrap a soft tape measure around your ankle at the spot where you plan to wear the anklet. Guides differ on the exact spot (just above, over or just below the ankle bone), so measure where you will actually wear it.
- 2
Keep the tape flat, not tight
The tape should lie against the skin without pulling. With no tape, wrap a piece of string around your ankle, mark where the ends meet and measure the string against a ruler.
- 3
Add your allowance
Add about 1/2 inch for a close fit, 3/4 inch for everyday wear or 1 inch for a loose drape, then pick the nearest anklet length in the table.
Ankle size versus anklet size
Your ankle size is the measurement around your ankle. Your anklet size is the length of the anklet itself, which needs some room to move, so every guide listed below adds an allowance to the ankle measurement.
