Intense Emotions Expressed: A Raw Exploration of Feelings
In the realm of fashionable footwear pairings, anklets with jeans and Birkenstocks have emerged as a popular choice for those seeking comfort and style. This article offers insights into styling anklets with jeans and Birkenstocks, as well as affordable alternatives to a polo-collared sweater, a key piece in a recent outfit worn on Tuesday, February 13.
To showcase anklets, consider cuffing or rolling up your jeans to create ankle exposure, highlighting your jewelry and adding a casual flair. Pairing wide-leg or cropped jeans with Birkenstocks can draw attention to your anklets elegantly, with the slight gap between hem and sandal accentuating your footwear.
Opt for delicate, layered anklets in metallic tones (gold or silver) or natural materials like beads or shells to complement the earthy, laid-back vibe of Birkenstocks. Match anklet styles to the leather tone of your Birkenstocks to create a cohesive look, for example, warm gold anklets with brown leather straps. Combine anklets with minimalist Birkenstock designs (like classic leather styles) for a chic but effortless summer or travel outfit.
For the sweater, there are multiple affordable, stylish polo-collared sweater options from mainstream and sustainable fashion brands beyond Reformation. Look for sweaters with polo collars from brands known for budget-friendly fashion such as Uniqlo, H&M, Zara, or Gap, which often carry similar styles at lower price points. Alternatively, knit polo collar tops or lightweight sweaters from sustainable but more affordable brands like Everlane or Madewell may offer the desired look with better price accessibility.
The outfit in question featured a Reformation Sawyer Oversized Polo Sweater, a light blue cashmere sweater with a polo collar. The tote bag used was the Adanola Canvas Tote, with similar options being New York Tote and Amazon Boat Tote. The white tee layered under the sweater could be an Aritzia Alpha Tee or a similar Everlane Premium Weight Long Sleeve Tee.
Cuffed jeans, a green ball cap, and Birkenstock Boston Soft Footbed Clogs in Taupe Suede completed the outfit. The anklets worn were handmade, with options such as the Urban Outfitters Pearl Anklet, DONNI Small Pearl Anklet, and Light Blue Shell Anklet available. The Chan Luu Merida Necklace in Silver/Iolite and the James Avery Foxtail Chain Necklace at 18 inches were among the accessories worn.
Some people have expressed concerns about receiving their Adanola Canvas Tote orders, with shipping to the US taking approximately 3 weeks. However, for those seeking more variety, Abercrombie 90's Straight Jeans offer more washes and sizes. Similar sweaters to the Reformation one can be found at Sanctuary Clothing and Nordstrom.
The author of this article has a fondness for ankle details in outfits, as evidenced by the inclusion of an old Adidas Baseball Cap, with similar options being Aritzia Dad Baseball Cap and Anine Bing Jeremy Sage Green Baseball Cap. A Vintage Pave Ring was worn, with the Mejuri Thin Dome Rings, Dainty Beaded Ring, and other affordable alternatives like the Quince Pave Diamond Slim Signet Ring (under $250) and Quince 14k Gold Micro Pave Ring offering similar styles.
