What is binding?
When it comes to the principles of matching a tie with a dress, it is good to introduce this accessory first. In this way, those who have no idea about anklets get to know it. Bind or anklet is one of the most popular accessories in the world. The appearance of this item is similar to a bracelet; with the difference that it is closed around the ankle. These days, anklets are produced in different models and designs and can be matched with almost any type of dress and style. Wearing a tie usually creates a rebellious, unconventional and free mood for you.
A brief look at the history of binding in the world of fashion
Before getting acquainted with the principles of matching a tie with clothes, it is better to know more about its history and cultural roots. These days, bindings are made from various materials such as thread, metal, crystal, leather, gold and silver. Based on the evidence obtained, the ancient Egyptians, Sumerians and some other tribes of the Middle East were the first peoples who used this accessory. During archaeological discoveries and excavations of Sumerian tombs, very old and interesting anklets have been found, which are made of precious metals, ordinary metals, precious and semi-precious stones and other natural materials. Archaeologists believe that the type of clothing worn by people in that era indicated their position in the social hierarchy. That is, people who wore colorful anklets with precious stones belonged to higher social strata. For example, women used gold or silver bands decorated with emeralds, rubies, pearls and other precious stones to show off their husbands’ wealth and social status. While slaves, workers and common people chose simpler designs made of leather, metal, bone beads, etc.
Evidence shows that in ancient Asian civilizations, women were more interested in wearing anklets than men. This was particularly evident in India and was often used to indicate the marital status of women. For example, married Indian women artistically make all the handmade bindings and decorate it with various charms and pendants. Wearing an anklet on the left foot was a sign of marriage and a woman’s commitment to a certain person. In contrast, women who tied the binding on their right leg looked untied. Indian pendant anklets made a melodious and interesting sound when moving and were usually used to attract the attention of their wives or the opposite sex. In Indian culture, there is a special anklet called Payal, which is still used by traditional dancers. These bindings are made of metal bells connected together. During the dance, the pleasant sound of these small bells is combined with the music and creates a pleasant resonance. Currently, Arab dancers also use payal. In the 1970s, wearing a bandana was popularized by hippies in the United States and was recognized as a symbol of independence, freedom, breaking tradition and breaking free from social stereotypes. This popular accessory still has many fans all over the world. Today, wearing it no longer has a special cultural burden and regardless of gender, it is used to make the style more beautiful.

Important points about wearing a bandage
- Tie the anklet on the bare foot without socks. We suggest you avoid wearing it with tights, leggings or similar items.
- If for any reason you can’t or don’t want to untie your tie, it’s better to hide it under your pants or socks in official meetings, business meetings, professional environments or at events like funerals.
- The size of the binding should be such that it fits completely above the ankle. Therefore, pay attention to the size when buying so that it is not too wide or too tight.
- Wearing anklets draws attention to your feet. Therefore, it is better to pay attention to the cleanliness and health of your feet, remove your unwanted hair regularly and use moisturizing body cream or body lotion.
- Straps usually go well with summer shoes and sandals.
- Men, like women, can use a band if they wish. In some cultures, wearing an anklet on the left foot by men is considered to mean their homosexuality. This does not apply to married men. However, this perception is not common and you can use your favorite accessory in any way you want, regardless of the opinions and words of others.
- Considering the cultural importance of anklets in South Asian countries, especially India, we recommend that you avoid wearing bindings if you travel to these areas. Because this accessory is an important part of Indian culture and your behavior may be considered disrespectful to their beliefs.
What situations is it appropriate to wear a bandage?
Due to the specific features of the anklet, it is not recommended to wear it at work or in professional environments. However, wearing a very delicate anklet that does not have loud pendants is fine in such spaces. Bandages that make noise may cause disturbance and are not suitable for attending public places and attending ceremonies such as funerals. On the other hand, you can always wear your thong to the beach, festivals, parties, vacations, by the pool or on the beach.
