How to wear traditional Indian gold jewellery with your western clothes? All it takes is finding the perfect ornament from your or your mother’s collection and making it the accessory for your office wear or party outfit or a friends’ get together with a casual dress code.

 

Being a style icon comes with the thrill of experimentation; of mixing and matching ornaments and outfits to create a unique fashion statement. You can wear jeans from the discarded pile and still make it a trend by pairing them differently and putting on an eye-catching accessory. What makes it work is the aesthetics, and you would rock on as the style guru that you are.

 

And you can for an extra oomph moment by wearing traditional Indian gold jewellery with your western clothes. All it takes is finding the perfect ornament from your or your mother’s collection and making it the accessory for your office wear or party outfit or a friends’ get together with a casual dress code. Blazers, jeans, shirts, gowns or maxi dresses, anything is a match for our traditional jewellery. Done right, it will be a killer look for you.

 

So, let's cover some stunning combinations.

 

•        ANTIQUE CHOKER WITH A GOWN

Intricately designed chokers and necklaces take on an edgy look when they are worn with a gown or jacket or off-shoulder frock. Pair it with a collared white shirt and formal pants, and you will look chic and elegant without much of an effort. The bridal Nagapadathali or Palakkamala or Poothali are ideal for this Indo-western look. Don’t overdo the mix by putting on too many ornaments, and it is better not to wear earrings.

 

•        BANGLES WITH FLORAL JUMPERS

Sport a look of casual chic by pairing bangles with your cool jumpers. They would add a whiff of freshness to your appearance and you can enjoy your holiday mood at its best. You can stack your wrists with bangles of varied sizes and designs, or wear only a few thin gold ones. Or a chunky cuff would also be a match for the scene. Have fun!

 

•        A HEADGEAR FOR YOUR GOWN

Want to break stereotypes and create a buzz in that A-list party tonight? Turn a layered antique necklace into headgear and wear it with your black gown. Ditch all other jewellery to create that stunning impression. A gold pendant with a unique motif or pattern can also do the work for a gown or maxi dress.

 

•        ANKLETS WITH RIPPED JEANS

Everything is fair in fashion too. So no fashion police will frown on you for wearing jingling anklets with your ripped jeans or cropped denim. Not really keen about the jingle effect? You can pick one without bells, a chunky one, a thin one, just a plain rope of gold…or wrap a long chain around your ankles…..your choice.

 

•        JHUMKA WITH A TANK TOP

Add panache to your looks by wearing a jhumka, bigger the better, with your crop top and long skirt. Have an off-shoulder tank top? Perfect! There is no ‘only-for-brides’ rule for wearing jhumkas, and they are a favourite with celebrities too. So, take a cue from them and turn your chic look casually-royal and Indo-western.

 

•        ENAMEL-WORK JEWELLERY WITH A MAXI DRESS

Let there be a riot of colours with some enamel work on your jewellery. And they are a perfect match for your cool maxi dress to double the effect. You can also cinch your waist with a traditional gold belt, or use a long chain to show off your figure.

 

And amp up your style game.
