Silver jewellery isn’t very difficult to pair, but mixing heavy-duty earrings like Aditi Rao Hydari’s can be a bit overwhelming for some. So if you plan to try this, put on a front open jacket, or a kaftan to balance the look. A western outfit with a slightly Indian print can also help.
7. Banjara Goes Boho

Got a lot of silver jewellery? Wear them as a stack of necklaces with a cute skater dress and add a fringe or even a simple summer blazer to it. This is a beautiful yet really easy combo you can try today!

Unstructured glam is all about adding a little bit of bling to an otherwise plain outfit. Anushka Sharma has accessorized her fiery red dress so well, that despite the jewels being simple, they make a great impact. Add a kada or a few polki bangles to your plain outfit to freshen it up!
9. Mix And Match

If there’s anything you can learn from Konkona Sen Sharma and her style, it’s a lesson on subtle elegance. The actress gets it right in this simple mustard dress that’s so Indian in colour, but western in every other way. We love the subtle addition of ethnic earrings and a really thin necklace.
11. Chunky Yet Grand

We all love chunky, junk jewellery that we hoard every time we go street shopping. Dia Mirza shows you how to wear these pieces without a second thought. Try on a statement neckpiece with a jumpsuit or a pair of culottes and be sure to nail the look. Dressing in earthy colours will definitely be a plus point.
12. Bare And Flare

A really big, bold shoulder-grazing pair of danglers with emeralds or any other coloured stone is enough to make any outfit come alive. And that is exactly what Shraddha Kapoor has done in this sheer dress for an unforgettable look.
13. Gear Up For Some Headgear!
Nope, you don’t need to wait for a shaadi to wear a mathapatti. Wear it to your college festival, or even a birthday party without looking OTT. Just pair it with a sexy dress and we assure you, you’ll be grabbing attention for all the right reasons!
