Accessorize Indian way

The Proper Way to Accessorize in Saree

Do not mix gold jewellery and silver embroidery.

Match the style of your dress with the accessory. Victorian jewellery goes well with victorian lace embroideries. Zari borders will go well with gold jewellery.
Accessorise to the border of the outfit and not the main color. This way the look is definitely enhanced by the contrast provided.

Only bangles on the wrist can be a great accessory by itself. On trendy sarees accessorise with a bangle that is very trendy and way to go.. Bangles come in various ways. Traditional kundan victorian style bangles, art bangles, enamel bangles, pearl bangles, lac bangles and so on. One can be trendy in making a bangle too. Get one of your long necklaces and wound it on the wrist. Voila,, u have a bangle. Whatever bangle you wear, if you are wearing necklace and earrings try and match them especially over a saree.

Anklets. On a saree the anklet may not be visible but if you are wearing one wear one that stands out . Anklets also come in various hues and tones. Gone are the days of the traditional silver or gold anklet. Match the anklet to the type of jewellery and complete the look.

A long necklace can be strung over the waist too to add to the accessory. Try this to make the look very traditional yet very trendy.
