Styling Tips To Follow To Look Amazing In Traditional Indian Clothes

Pick Clothes That Fit You 

If you want to look amazing in any outfit, the first thing you should do is choose an Indian attire that exactly fits you. Such an outfit will be easy to style and accessorize with jewelry and footwear. However, if you choose a wrong-fitting outfit, no matter how you style it, you will still look ugly or awkward.

Carefully Choose Colors

You should choose the color(s) of an outfit depending on the occasion. You may also consider your personality and preference. If you are attending a wedding, you can go for bright colors and shades. If you are attending traditional events, you can wear pink, red, fresh green, glistening blue, beaming orange, and other shiny colors.

You should also consider your skin tone when picking the color of your Indian clothes. If you have a medium complexion, you can wear bold colors, while dark skin tone persons should wear white, primary colors, pastel colors, and rich, vibrant colors. People with lighter skin tones should only avoid black and white colors. 

Have A Traditional Clutch Bag

Whenever you wear a traditional Indian dress, you should carry a traditional clutch bag for a stunning look. The good thing is that clutch bags come in different colors, and you should pick one that complements your outfit. Note that the clutch can have a contrasting or matching color.

Wear Jewelry

Indian dresses are incomplete without some pieces of jewelry. You should wear traditional hanging earrings to enhance your look. Additionally, depending on the neckline of your top/blouse, you can wear a statement necklace. You can add bangles, tikka, and other jewelry. But keep it simple; too many pieces can ruin the look.

Choose Correct Footwear 

Footwear plays a significant role in improving your overall appearance. If you choose the wrong footwear, you will not have the desired look. If you choose the right footwear that goes well with your Indian clothes, you will look amazing. But remember to choose footwear that you are comfortable to wear and walk with.

Don’t Overdo Makeup 

Makeup is good when done correctly. The makeup should complement your skin tone and the shade/color of your Indian outfit. Keep it simple, and you will look amazing. Overdo the makeup, and you will look ugly.
