I’m starting to notice more and more men wearing anklets lately. Is this becoming a new fad or something? I, personally, think it looks silly on men, but maybe women are finding this attractive on men and that’s why many guys are wearing them now?

I am confused. Those have been around since the 90s.

Yes, with women being the ones wearing them. Never realized they were a man’s jewelry as well.

I've been seeing them on men since the 90s. Before that among people who listened to the Grateful Dead. Thin, braided leather, things like that.

Well, based on my casual observations, yes, albeit very slowly. Since the weather warmed up, I’ve probably noticed more than half a dozen, including three at a motorcycle rally which I recently attended (bikes parked, obviously, folks wandering the displays and vendor booths in shorts and sneakers or sandals.) And I don’t necessarily spend my time looking down at other guy’s lower legs.

The ones I’ve seen are mostly thin leather or braided cord, even colored string. I do recall noticing one metal one worn by a man, several years ago.

Criticize if you wish, I’m considering trying one. I guess I have a bit of a latent peacocking streak, they kinda look like a “low impact, low risk” fun accessory.

Here they are aller Spurs. Can get pricey but are easier to wear with boots.

I've actually never seen a guy wear one.

Oh hey, why not? Maybe they can get a matching vajayjay hat ... the one with the ears?

God help us.

although, I guess wearing an anklet is the least of my 'man' worries.
