Traditional Indian jewellery is long associated with traditional Indian attires like sarees, lehenga, and suits. However, these exquisite pieces of craft made out of gold, silver, and Kundan have found a new trend when stylists started pairing them with Western wear to give their Page 3 clientele a standout look.
Here are some tips from the Fashion Icon Sonam Kapoor, learning how you can excel in the art of flaunting your accessories right.
1. Statement Necklaces: Sonam often pairs heavy, Polki, Kundan, and Jadau necklaces with modern gowns or even sleek, tailored blazers. She has also worn a single or multi-chain necklace with her casual crop top to give it a bling look. The actress has paired a chunky Kundan or Polki necklace with her long skirt and top, creating a perfect balance between tradition and modernity.
2. Jhumkas: Many celebs from both international and Bollywood love pairing Jhumkas, Chandbalis, or any other traditional Indian earrings with their Western outfits, like a bare-shoulder Western dress. It has become a staple accessory for them. Sonam expertly teams these with casual Western dresses, like a simple white sundress or a flowy maxi, adding royal vibes to her personality.
3. Maang Tikkas and head accessories: For a truly standout fusion look, Sonam isn’t afraid to wear a maang tikka, with Western attires at many evening soirees and weddings. This bold fusion creates a dramatic and regal effect, perfect for evening events or parties.
4. Nose pins/ Naths: For boho and indo-western looks, Sonam has been seen wearing Kundan Naths with Western outfits. It always gives an ultra-flattering and extremely modern impression. However, one has to be careful and have a practical fashion sense like Sonam, to perfectly carry the look.
5. Bangles with a Twist: Instead of wearing bangles traditionally, Sonam Kapoor stacks them with her wristwatch or alongside a cuff bracelet. Try pairing traditional bangles with a sleek, monochrome dress or a simple shirt and jeans combo.
