How you wear your ensemble is as important as the fit of that ensemble. Right accessories can make or break a look. Jewellery is a big part of accessorising. Here are some tips to choose the right kind of jewellery for the right occasions.

Jewellery in oxidized silver and brass finish are also available in the market today which work very well with most western outfits.

Gold

Although most young girls are now less interested in Gold and instead opt for platinum and silver, the Indian skin tone has a lovely affinity to the rich colors of traditional Indian jewellery.

Go for reddish gold with or without rich precious or semi precious stones for a completely traditional look. Beware of wearing bad finishes for fake gold jewelry or wearing too much gold jewelry. For day-wear, go for a minimal look.

Pearls

Pearls look very good with both Indian (traditional) and western outfits. And lots of strands of small Pearls make even a drab garment stand out.

A single strand of large pearls or natural unpolished pearls goes fantastically with a jacket and a skirt in a corporate party. However, avoid fake pearls as they lose their polish soon and start to look bad.

Earrings

Buy some neutrals colors like Black, white, silver, and grey. Do buy some which are in an opposite shape of your body type.

Like thin long danglers will create an illusion of a longer face. Whereas, a tall woman should wear large earrings to make her shoulders look slim and waist look shapely.

Bangles and bracelets

You should also go for bangles and bracelets to spruce up even the simplest of clothing. Your jeans and t shirt casual look can be turned into a very feminine one with a big chunky bangle in a vibrant shade.

Bracelets also make your arms and hands look pretty and draw away focus from a large middle and shoulders.

Statement Neck Pieces

Long neck-pieces (thin chains with or without a pendant or a strand of pearls) make the neck look longer and look fantastic with both deep-plunging as well as very high necklines. Chokers are fantastic with Nehru collared tops, blouses and kurtas.

Never be afraid to try your own style though. It’s great to mix and match your accessories. And you can come up with some amazing looks just by mixing your accessories

The Final Advice: Don’t overdo it; never wear more than you should.
