Statement-making fashion is all about experimenting with different trends and see what works best for you. With that school of thought, pairing western clothes with traditional jewellery sounds like the perfect way to get all those eyes on you at all the events that you attend. This fusion brings various perks to your fashion-game. You can slip into breezy outfits and let your jewellery do the talking.

To create the perfect balance of both the East and the West, let’s look at some ways you can effortlessly pull off this amalgamated look.

1. Chokers with a plunging/ deep neckline

Planning to wear a top or dress with a uniquely low neckline? A choker neckpiece would do wonders for you. It will compliment your neckline by highlighting it and bringing in the traditional element. Choose diamond or kundan studded choker, entirely depending on the work of your outfit to get a synchronised look.

2. Jhumkas with formal wear

The most popular of all earrings, the jhumkas have a certain charm to them. You add them to any outfit and it automatically uplifts your attire. An off-beat experiment would be to merge these lovely pairs with your formal wear. Put on a shirt and blazer or a formal one-piece and style them with a contrasting pair of jhumkas to create an eccentric look. Wear this ensemble to the office or client meetings and see how you redefine your style.

3. Layered necklaces with a sweetheart or off-shoulder neckline

Dresses or tops with a bare design and complimenting sweetheart, tube or off-shoulder neck call for some magnificent additions. Layered necklaces have made it the top of the most coveted jewellery styles and merging them with your western wear would only take your outfit to a next level. Select a kundan layered necklace for more intimate events and an oxidised layered necklace to go with your casual and daytime looks.

4. Headgear with flared dresses

A tiered, frill or flared dress is already an extravagant pick for a fun-filled evening. To add more drama to your look, style your maathapatti or an ethnic layered headpiece with your dress to look like a Queen. Coupling these two will bring magnificence to your Indo-western look.

5. Ethnic nose rings with boho clothing

An eclectic closet comprising of colourful pieces of clothing, be it tops, dresses, shirts or pants, this is what Boho dressing is all about. An already fusion style of clothing would be perfect to go with your nose rings collection. So, splurge on quirky pieces to create artistic looks.

6. Dramatic drop earrings with your partywear dresses

Available in endless designs like teardrop, chandelier, tassels, chaandbalis and many more, drop earrings have been the most popular style to pair up with traditional outfits. Jazz up your classy party dresses with these earrings and see how you revolutionize the celebratory dressing styles. To keep it elegant, select a solid one-piece and accessorize with blazing diamond drop earrings and don your stilettos to make an alluring appearance at cocktail parties or at the nightclub.

Apart from the above styling tips, you can keep on experimenting with more jewellery pieces and contemporary clothing in similar ways. Hence, creating looks that are high-on-fashion and making an everlasting style statement.
