We Should All Be Wearing Toe Rings

2 min read

I’m tired of people who hate feet. Grow up. Shaming me for having my toes out in the middle of summer? Get a life! I refuse to spend another season covering up my feet for the fear of offending a bystander. As part of my rebellion, I’m taking a new stance: I’m officially pro-toe ring.

I’ve spotted gold, silver, and beaded baubles adorning the toes of fashionable women all over the country this summer, and I’m decidedly a fan. We accessorize the rest of our bodies—why exclude the toes? You should be treating them with the same care and attention you put into your bangle or ear stacks. Whether worn with flip-flops or an open-toed heel, the humble toe ring adds a very subtle cool factor. It doesn’t overstate its importance, but it does send a message—and that message says, “I look good, and I know it.”

Plus, if we know one thing about fashion, it’s often the details that make a look. The slightest accents can take an ensemble from “meh” to “mesmerizing” with just a little extra intention. So, as you pack your corded necklaces and other vacation-ready jewelry this summer, join me on Team Toe Ring, and treat those piggies to a bit of bling.
