Ring True

Barcelona-based accessories brand ALOHAS has built its reputation on relaxed Mediterranean style, with premium European craftsmanship intrinsic to the brand’s identity. Classic sandals have become a staple in many a stylish woman’s wardrobe, but with summer in full swing and, by the looks of it, stretching on for a few more weeks, it’s easy to find yourself recycling the same outfits again and again. Sometimes, all that’s needed is a small addition to make the familiar feel new.

This season, ALOHAS has one thoughtful enhancement in mind. Anyone purchasing a pair of sandals will receive a complimentary set of toe rings, making it even easier to lean into one of summer’s most understated trends; the adorned toe.

Once considered a nostalgic throwback, toe rings are finding their feet again as a natural extension of two trends dominating this year: the rise of body jewellery and an ongoing appetite for minimalist styling. With style icons such as Chiara Voliani gaining huge followings for their statement silver jewellery, the desire to bedeck yourself in unexpected ways is growing. But the toe ring has actually been the preserve of ‘cool girls’ for decades. Jennifer Aniston has been  sporting one since the 2000s, while Rihanna and Carla Bruni have both made a case for jewellery below the ankle. While not everyone has feet that should have attention drawn to them, those of us that do should could always show them a bit more care and adornment. 

And with the heady summer heat going nowhere just yet, there’s still plenty of time to give your trusted sandals a little extra attention.Whether you're packing for a coastal trip, navigating a city in the warmth or simply spending an evening outdoors, consider the toe ring a sweet final frivolity to summer dressing before our feet disappear back into autumn’s watertight boots!
