Here are some tips and tricks to master the accessorizing of your saree adequately: 

Consider the Occasion

There are many Indian saree accessories in the market to choose from. However, you need to put in the effort to wear the right saree with accessories for the right occasion. Wearing something other than the event or function you are attending would result in a fashion blunder. And you wouldn’t want that! With perfect pairing, you can achieve one of the following: either steal the limelight or blend with the crowd. It would be best if you chose which one you would like.

For office or formal events, choose a solid-colored saree and limited jewelry. You can also wear a coat over the saree to look more professional. For parties and family gatherings, choose something dark and sparkling. Either the saree or the jewelry should seek attention, but not both. Opt for trendy and minimal jewelry designs if your saree is embellished and vice versa. You can adorn statement jewelry like gold necklaces or diamond bangles for weddings. Choose smartly to avoid drawing unnecessary attention.

Pay Attention to the Details

The trick is maintaining the details, as the styles nowadays are more about patterns and detailed designs rather than the big picture. When choosing accessories for a saree, focus on the small things like the earrings, bindi, color of your nail paint, or the choice of bangles. Most women do have the habit of pairing their earrings with their outfits, be they ethnic or western ones. But with the western-wears, a differently styled earring won’t ruin the look. For instance, it can seem trendy and unique. But with ethnic gear like sarees, you need to be careful not to pair up something entirely out of the vibe.

Try matching traditional or modern earrings with the saree details. If the saree has golden boundaries, go for a pair of danglers in gold. For silk sarees, choose trendy gold bangles over gemstone bangles to look more flamboyant. For floral chiffon sarees, you can experiment with your layering skills and mix different types of bangles. Accessories like these add up and have an unbalanced effect on the style quotient when you wear a saree.

Color Co-ordinating Correctly

There is a way to color-sync everything when wearing traditional Indian attire. Being a fashion designer and picking bizarre color combos for the runways is another thing, but for a decent party or wedding, a horrendous pick of shades can make you look like a rainbow. The trick is to pick a color on the color palette, skip the next one and pick the third one to sync with the first one. The two colors you chose are analog and complement each other perfectly. According to the attire club - analog colors are the colors on either side of any color you pick in a color wheel or scheme. Often these color schemes are found in nature.

An outfit that blends these analogous colors entirely usually appears elegant. It is essential to choose wisely, as picking the right colors can make or break your entire look. An expensive pair of colorful gemstone bangles can ruin your style quotient if they are of a different color than what suits your saree and other accessories.

Along with the above things, one should always remember to check the weather conditions, activities involved in the event, body type, and complexion. The key to choosing the perfect accessories for a saree is to sync with the colors and the pattern of designs, your body type, complexion, and weather. For instance, simple and subtle accessories are the best if you flaunt a saree with lots of craftwork and prints. Too many accessories or jewelry can make the whole attire look tacky! Avoid these mistakes, and you can rock your saree look the next time.
