The Perfect Way to Accessorize Your Ethnic Wear By Anika Pathak •
Ethnic wear has been the go to thing this season and it is always the choice during weddings. It's not difficult to choose what to wear most of the times, it's either a sari or a suit , but the problem arises when you have to fine the perfect accessory to compliment style and bring out the traditional in you.
Traditional wear can be styled with many accessories. We have seen the comeback of many ethnic accessories such as: haath phool , maang tikka , chand bali etc. Various celebrities have been spotted donning these accessories in this wedding season . The current trend is going with the idea of minimal jewelry , wearing statement pieces like heavy
earrings or necklaces to go with your outfit and that is it, one thing that just completes it all. So what is the right choice for your outfit? It can be confusing when we see different trends out there and spiral into a state where we either over dress or under dress. So stay calm and research not what others are wearing but what you like and are comfortable with. Now once you have decided your complete outfit and the occasion for which you will be
using it for, then decide your jewelry. Never do it the other way round because it easier to match your
jewelry to the already chosen outfit, than the other way round. Let's look at some accessories that are making rounds and can be just what you are looking for: ■
Big Kundan Danglers : Well Kundan Jewelry is a perfect go to option and you cannot go wrong with it miss it. Whether you are opting for a lehenga choli or a saree for a wedding , the big kundan danglers would be enough as jewelry. You don't even need to wear any necklace or any other accessory with this. Kundan matches with every material and every outfit .
■
Jhumkis or Chand Balis : Actually Jhumkis goes well with all the Indian ethnic wear; suits, saris, lehengas doesn't matter. You can choose silver or gold according to the color of your outfit, they can be with grand domes and intricate carvings or huge round chand balis to compliment you. You again don't need anything else to accompany these; they are the perfect companions to your outfit.

Necklace : Any traditional outfit can be made complete with a statement neckpiece , a kundan haar , pearl necklace or a gemstone piece with multiple layers. Statement neckpieces have the power to light up the whole look. It can make you look like a classic diva. Just the right piece of design and neckpiece can turn a pale salwar kameez or a kurti into a stunning ensemble or bring out the beauty of the sari or lehenga even more.
Bags , clutches , potlis are also a part of accessorizes . If you want a complete Indian look then opt for a potli with the saree or suit . Otherwise pick a clutch in Indian style . Clutches also come in weaves silk in
peacock and paisley motifs . One can go for a clutch with an elaborate brooch and bright colors to brighten up that outfit further more. What one needs to understand is not to overdo it, don't club everything together, just because you like everything or have a lot of jewelry. If you wish to pair up heavy earrings and a necklace, make sure your outfit is subtle and not to jazzy in itself, because then you will be radiating as much bling as a disco ball, and none of the things will be able to stand out in itself. If you are wearing statement pieces, use one so that it can show off its beauty completely with that heavy outfit of yours. It is always smart to opt for just statement earrings when wearing a heavy outfit so that your outfit is not overshadowed by a neck piece or too much jewelry. Statement necklace can be worn with subtle outfits and make your look complete.
