Maximalism Starts at The Toes

Summer fashion is finished at the feet. Rita Matos, who lives in Porto, is in a class of her own when it comes to maximalist foot styling. Silver toe rings stacked and layered across all ten toes, silver hoops threaded onto flip-flop straps and stone rings slipped over them whole, anklets wound with everything from bangles to alphabet charms to necklaces pulled down, and mini tattoos and a pedicure to finish the details. Every gap between ankle and toe is filled with jewelry.

Toe rings quietly disappeared after Britney Spears and Jennifer Aniston in the early 2000s, and this summer they're back. Y2K nostalgia meets maximalism. If plain sandals no longer feel enough, now is the time to layer on rings, chains, and anything else your toes can hold. What kind of style will suit your feet?
