Silver and gold have always been associated with traditional outfits, but styling silver jewelery with western outfits can create a bold and stunning ensemble that we can all get behind. An Indo-western outfit paired with delicate silver jewelery makes a statement while also showing your creativity. But styling silver into western wear isn't always smooth sailing, it can turn out to be very tricky.
These 6 tips will help you achieve the look you want without breaking a sweat.
1. Colors
There are a number of options when it comes to styling silver with colors. As a general rule, stay away from neon colors. The brightness tends to distract from the intricate handmade silver necklace with fine details on the ornament. Most silver ornaments look beautiful with black, white and gray colored outfits. When decorating with Kempu, Kundan and CZ stones, silver works best with maroon, dark blue, dark green and other similar dark colors by complementing them. Styling layered silver chains or single chains with a single pendant will enhance the look of your western outfit, be it jeans, skirts or dresses.
2. Patterns
It is recommended that if the outfit you are wearing is simple and soft without any bold patterns, you can experiment with bold jewelry. Off the shoulder dresses or shrug tops would look gorgeous with a semi-gem studded choker. However, if the outfit has heavy patterns, then it is recommended to wear minimal silver jewelry such as a pendant, a delicate bracelet or finger rings.
3. Formal wear and silverware
Who said jewelry and office wear don't go hand in hand? You'd be surprised how well minimal silver jewelry can be styled with formal office wear. Whether it's pantsuits, skirts and full-sleeved shirts or formal dresses, you can now style them with chunky jewelery or minimal silver jewelery to add some oomph to your office look. A formal white shirt and casual skirt with an elaborate silver necklace is another look you shouldn't hesitate to pull off.
Layered necklaces, silver bracelets or silver earrings would be the perfect addition to your formal wear.
4. Don't forget to fix your ankles, hair and nose
Simple, delicate anklets to massive ones, a woman definitely knows her anklets. Style these ankle boots with jeans or palazzos to make a statement. Ankle boots and jeans are a trendy combination that needs to be experimented with. We have also seen women wearing only one anklet to make a statement. Almost every other day there is a trend. We saw exotic oxidized silver hair accessories paired with trendy jeans and flowing shrugs. They are chic and high fashion, worthy of expression.
Earlier Nath and Rajasthani Nathni were only styled in traditional ethnic wear. Recently, we have seen an increase in demand for contemporary silver nose studs with a touch of traditional designs, motifs and styles. But now with a bit of a contemporary twist, pins and nose rings are worn even with jeans and formals without hesitating to make a bold statement while being deeply rooted in Indian culture.
5. Traditional jewelry with western clothing
Pairing silver Kundan and Jadau necklaces with an off shoulder dress is a bold move. This combo is extremely tricky to pull off. But when styled right, this look is breathtaking. You can also try pairing a silver jhumka with semi-precious stones with your evening gowns or off-the-shoulder dresses.
Styling a western outfit with silver ornaments will open your world to an abundance of styling possibilities. Be true to your personality and experiment with everything you can get your hands on. Make the most of your creativity and available options.
