Learning how to style toe rings may not sound all that hard, but there is some key information to keep in mind. This popular 90s trend is making a comeback (if you consider it left at all), so now is a good time to start planning out your line of toe rings. These accessories are a great way to add some extra flair to any outfit this summer, and help your customers shine from head to toe – literally.
Keep in Mind…
Comfort is Key
Before you can learn how to style toe rings, you need to know how to wear them. Toe rings should fit between the base of the toe and the first knuckle. Keep in mind that different sizes and shapes may fit differently. It’s best to be aware of how your foot is feeling while wearing one. Toe rings shouldn’t be so loose that they slide off nor too tight that your circulation is cut off. Your toe ring should be able to move if you turn it to allow some leeway for when your foot swells.
Look out for signs of discomfort. If your toe looks blue or has a tingling sensation, take off the toe ring. Toe rings should be able to turn and maybe even slide a bit on your toe. Feet can swell through the day, too, so keep that in mind while shopping for toe rings and while removing them at the end of the day. After all, you want your feet to be comfortable and stylish.
Adjustable vs. Fitted
Adjustable toe rings are great because they’re easy to put on and remove. However, they may snag on carpets, stones, and other materials. Meanwhile, fitted toe rings fit well when they’re the right size, but they may be harder to take off if your foot swells or similar to a ring, may not fit at all.
Take some time to see which you prefer before investing in good-quality toe rings. Make sure you measure your toes ahead of time to find your right size. Even with adjustable toe rings, it’s not always one-size-fits-all.
Take Care of Your Toe Rings
Just as with any other piece of jewellery, it’s important to take care of your toe rings. Remember to not get them wet as they may tarnish. If you’re going swimming or you’re planning to visit a spa it’s important to remove them. Should you get them wet because you happen to step in a puddle or get caught in the rain make sure you dry your jewellery with a cloth.
How to Style Toe Rings
Show Off Your Toes
The whole point of wearing a toe ring is to show it off. Avoid wearing socks, nylons, or shoes while wearing them. Otherwise, no one can see what you’re wearing (unless you don’t want your toe rings to be seen, of course). Do keep in mind that sometimes adjustable toe rings can snag fabric and if that happens it will hurt, so remember to wear them properly.
The Best Toe? All of Them!
The most common toe to wear rings on is the 2nd one, but these days people are wearing them on all their toes. Again, it’s all about comfort and what feels best.
Any Kind of Open Toe Shoe Works
High heels, sandals, etc. – it all depends on where you’re going, of course. If your destination is the beach then sandals or flip-flops will do. If you’re going to a more formal setting, a heel works well. Just remember to wear the appropriate toe rings to match not just your shoes but the outfit as a whole which brings us to our next point…
Plan Out Your Outfit
You can’t add a toe ring to an outfit and expect everything to be fine, you need to plan it out. You can wear them with sandals and jeans for a boho look, or heels and a nice dress for something a little more formal. Again, it’s about making sure everything looks good together.
