MUMBAI: With an upsurge of new styles flowing in every season, it is hard to keep up-to-date with ever-changing fashion trends. This year, concocting unique looks by amalgamating traditional and global jewellery is a trendsetter.
With just the right accessories, you can take your outfit from ‘simple-ethnic’ to ‘stunning-chic’. Take a look at the must have pieces to sport the flawless ethnic look!
Rings
Rings tend to accentuate a look in a unique way as compared to face jewellery. Team your basic ethnic outfit with a chunky statement ring or highlight the look with multiple bands of thinner rings on different fingers. To bring the attention to your ring/s (and keep it there) stick to a small clutch or go hands-free with a sling or a Potli bag.
Golden cuffs
To spice up a simple outfit, pop on a gold cuff and watch as your relatives and friends shower you with compliments. A gold cuff will easily bedazzle a modest kurti/abaya, but works just as well with an embroidered panelled lehenga without stealing its thunder. That’s the flexibility of the golden cuff that’ll leave you looking and feeling fierce no matter which outfit you choose!
Chandelier earrings
Many celebrities, this season, are proudly donning the chandelier earring, which is a timeless classic. Pair a monochrome trail cut kurti with tulip pants and mirror enamelled chandeliers to highlight your whole outfit and accentuate your figure and style. You could also complement gold danglers with an angrakha or a light salwar kameez set and cigarette pants to emphasize your bare-yet-beautiful neckline.
Headpiece
Flaunt an intricate headpiece, whether you choose to wear a salwar kameez, kaftan, jalabiyya, or an abayah. Be it intricately detailed and ornate or simple, the headpiece can bring out your inner ‘Princess Jasmine’. If you love to glam up your look, flaunt a mangteeka and feel amazing!
Halo bracelets
If you’re wondering how to embellish your anarkali or dhoti-style kurti, don’t think twice and go for Halo Bracelets. Halo bracelets are the most versatile of the lot and are incredibly striking considering how subtle they may seem. Halos add a tantalizing flair to the outfit and tend to dress-up the look by a ten-fold. For those who are more funky and bold, attire your wrist with multi-colored bands, but when making a more demure statement- wearing many bands of the same colour would do the trick.
Chandbalis
When in doubt, balis and long neckpieces are the ‘totes appropes’ way out. This would work perfect with a Pakistani kurti or a reversible kurti. Pair this with palazzos or culottes for an indo-fusion look. Ditch the statement neckpiece if too much is going on around the neckline, instead put on a Lariat or Matinee to show off your classy side.
Imparting some knowledge about the trends, Darshan Dave, Founder, Diosa Jewels said, “Jewellery is a great way to enhance any attire and to flaunt one’s personal style with the evolving trend. Women pick Jewellery resonating with their clothes based on what’s in Vogue internationally; so jewellery trends originate from fashion in Paris and Milan. Simple and sophisticated, ‘solitaire studs’ are a gorgeous accessory for every woman’s jewellery box; they will never go out of fashion."
