Sunday’s Grammy Awards showcased some stunning fashion (and some extreme looks as well), but one of the most notable style moments came from Taylor Swift, who was nominated for six awards and also presented Beyoncé with the Best Country Album award for “Cowboy Carter.” Swift showed up to the red carpet wearing a red Vivienne Westwood dress and ruby jewelry by Lorraine Schwartz, including a leg chain with a letter “T” charm that many inferred as a nod to her boyfriend Travis Kelce.
If you’ve never donned a thigh chain or other body jewelry before, they can seem intimidating at first, but they add a stylish touch to a shorter outfit if you’re wearing a skirt, dress or shorts (you can wear them over bare skin, like Swift did, or over tights). Of course, not all of us can afford custom jewelry like Swift’s chain, but if you’re interested in experimenting with a leg chain, we’ve rounded up some fun options from Amazon and Etsy that won’t break the bank.

Designed with a fun moon charm that hangs at the bottom, as well as a heart-shaped ring that connects all the tassels, this thigh chain by Chargances is a mix of whimsy and elegance. The chain itself is made of alloy and imitation pearl, and the elastic cuff can stretch up to 14 inches.
Maybe the letter T isn’t a fit for you like it was for Swift, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun picking out a charm shape that means something to you. This thigh chain from Riymusry has four options: a heart, pictured here, a green stone, a butterfly or a teardrop. All four are made with alloy and rhinestones, and the chain stretches up to 17.7 inches around the thigh.
Can’t decide whether gold or silver is your color? This leg chain by UniqueGirlsBeading on Etsy comes in both, and at $20, is affordable enough that you might be tempted to buy one of each. The design features a delicate hanging string of pearls, and also has an elastic cuff that stretches up to 17.7 inches.
Speaking of pearls, you can go all out with this Yheakne chain that is available in both gold and silver, and features one full chain of pearls for an extra elegant touch. The other chains are made with a metal alloy, and one reviewer who put the chain and elastic to the test said it “stayed in place the whole night.”

Tap into some fun and joyful butterfly imagery with this multi-layer butterfly leg chain, which comes in gold or silver.
