Kalki Fashion Style Secrets: Accessorizing Indian Wear Like a Pro

The Power of Statement Jewelry

One of the most interesting aspects of Indian clothing is the accessories it carries along with it. Indian traditional clothes often come accompanying with jewelry that is heavy, elaborate, and ornate, but the trick lies in finding the right balance between your clothes and what you wear to accompany them. Here’s how you do it:

• With Sarees: If the saree is heavily embroidered or embellished, then one can team it with simple yet bold jewelry, like statement earrings or show-stopping necklaces. A subtle saree will see a whole matching necklace, earrings, and bangles. For instance, a traditional Kanjeevaram saree is regal when teamed with a layered temple necklace and jhumkas.
• With Lehengas: The lehenga with heavy embroidery can be clubbed with a single statement piece like choker or big earrings so that the whole outfit doesn’t make the accessory the focal point. A maang tikka or matha patti may be added to add more bridal or festive feel to the attire.
• With Anarkalis: An Anarkali suit, if ornate or full of design, comes with chandelier earrings or danglers. However, if there is a high-neck blouse, one might forgo the use of a necklace and adorn the wrists with bangles or even a statement cuff bracelet.

Bangles and Bracelets: The Perfect Hand Adornments

Accessories like bangles are a must for Indian wear. They completely dress up your outfit with the traditional appeal when you’re going to a wedding or a festival.

• For a Classic Look: pick up glass or metal bangles that would complement your outfit colour. For instance, green glass bangles with a red saree are a classic festive combination.
• For a Modern Twist: Modern style, of course, could also be a more contemporary line of bracelets or cuffs that would seem to do a complete makeover of the entire theme. A simple cuff in gold or more geometrical designs can really complement traditional wear with a whole new look.

Stacking bangles from all sizes to colors is very doable especially when you’re going casual or it’s an afternoon party.

The Role of Footwear in Indian Wear

While often overlooked, footwear makes a very important difference when putting together an Indian ensemble. You can either add to a look’s grace or comfort through the selection of shoes, relying on the occasion and the overall outfit.

• Juttis and Mojaris: When it comes to ethnic wear, there is no substitute for traditional Indian shoes-Juttis and Mojaris. Juttis can be virtually used at any event with anything-from a simple lehenga to an elaborate suits-wedding outfit. They are the epitome of sophistication with embroidered designs and beaded patterns. A person can really give a royal feel by wearing Mojri during formal events. Both are comfortable and bring out the authenticity in your attire.
• Heels and Sandals: Add a little height and elegance with block heels or sandals. Detailed or metallic sandals add tremendous appeal to sarees and lehengas, ideal for weddings and parties. Don’t forget to wear comfortable heels because most Indian events can go on for hours.
• Kolhapuris: A Kolhapuri is, of course a more casual or day-gathering option, cutting great with a simple saree, a traditional Kurti, or even more trendy combinations like a palazzo ensemble, giving that quite nice and hippie kind of a feel to the get-up.
