Mix and Match: How to Style Your Lehenga Choli With Contemporary Jewelry?
Wearing a gorgeous lehenga choli on a special occasion, like a wedding party, always requires special attention to fashion accessories, particularly jewelry. When you pair your designer lehenga choli with the right contemporary jewelry piece, everything goes smoothly. But getting this styling right is something other than rocket science. All you need is to pay attention to the evolving styling trends, particularly with modern jewelry.
I have a soft corner for minimalistic jewelry, but that doesn’t prevent me from showering praise on extravagant pieces when they bring the right balance to the lehenga. So, keeping aside my tastes and preferences, I would rather choose a variety of ways to style lehenga choli with contemporary jewelry. Here we go.
Pairings That Go Beyond Convention
Matching jewelry colors with lehengas follows the expected line and doesn’t bring any surprise. Why not try something unconventional and unexpected for the regular fashion tastes?
Well, you can try unorthodox color contrasts and choices. For example, a bright red lehenga can be paired with emerald green jewelry for a crisp and refreshing look.
Grab Eyes with Stark Contrast
Making a drama-queen appearance with the stark contrast of lehenga and accompanying jewelry has become the new trend. Honestly, there is endless room for new experiments when you want to play with the contrast of jewelry and your designer lehengas.
A soft pink lehenga with dark embroidery work contrasted by a turquoise jewelry set can bring harmony and contrast equally with the right measure. Bright-colored pearls in jewelry can do wonders when you want to play with contrast.
Layers of Multiple Necklaces
When paired with lehengas, the necklace is the single most important piece of jewelry, making the highest impact on overall appearance. Wearing a designer necklace with a brightly colored pearl dangling on the tip is common and almost a part of the traditional look.
What about wearing multiple layers of necklaces? This has become a trend, and it can bring the right charm if you know how to layer them over one another. For example, a monochrome stone necklace can be paired with a bright gold or mundane jewelry necklace to create the right interplay of contrast and balance.
Embrace Minimalism & Subtlety
I have always liked the sleek, crisp, and modern look that the minimalist approach to jewelry and fashion offers. Minimalism can be as simple as pairing an ethnic stone necklace with a soft-hued, sparsely designed cotton lehenga.
When you want to lean towards minimalism with your fashion taste, watch out for the pieces to balance. Just do not overdo it with the lehenga design, accessories, or jewelry, and look for simple elegance with everything in the right measure.
Wear a Statement Jewelry Piece
Statement jewelry pieces easily help your appearance stand out among hordes of fashionable and elegantly dressed ladies. This fashion strategy works best, particularly for high-stakes occasions like weddings.
A statement piece of jewelry can be a bold necklace with a large shimmering turquoise stone or large earrings with pearls. Such pieces should become the focal point of your special occasion appearance, while your lehenga choli should remain in the background.
Coordinated Colour Effect
The age-old quest for cohesion and harmony in fashion is still relevant and very much part of modern fashion. Repeating certain colors in your lehenga design in your jewelry can create a cohesive look.
For example, if your lehenga has green threadwork all over the white fabric base, you can pair it with green jewelry. Repeating a prominent color scheme in dress and jewelry will make a distinct and cohesive fashion statement.
Fuse Traditional with Modern Jewelry
Traditional may sometimes look outdated when you know how to pair it right. Moreover, you can twist traditional jewelry for a more modern look and pair it with the right designer lehenga choli choices.
For example, you can twist chandbali earrings with the latest designs and fuse them with different metals or geometric shapes. When you fuse traditional and modern jewelry, just match it with a complementing lehenga style.
Wear Versatile Jewelry
I always like jewelry pieces that are versatile enough to go with any designer lehenga on any occasion. I often mix and match a prized collection of jewelry pieces with various lehenga cholis or other designer wear. I can match them with a wardrobe full of lehengas without looking awkward or too experimental.
Pick necklaces, bangles, or earrings that go well with different lehenga pieces and color choices. They often don’t allow you to make a distinct fashion statement, but wearing them with all your lehengas is a sufficient trade-off.
Eco-friendly Jewelry
Last but not least, adorable eco-friendly options among contemporary jewelry are available. While most of us rally behind emeralds, pearls, and diamonds, spending a hefty sum on them, sometimes a simple piece of jewelry made of eco-friendly material can bring the most elegant look.
Remember, eco-friendly jewelry is not cheap; some designer options in this category may be as expensive as gold. So, instead of cost, consider the distinct charm they can add to your appearance. To make you feel jealous, I own a small jewelry set made entirely of coconut shells.
Summarising
The permutations and combinations of jewelry and lehenga are endless, and I can still write a hundred more pages on them. The whole point of this discussion is not to explore all the styling ideas for contemporary jewelry with lehenga cholis; it is more about exploring some uncharted ways in the fashion landscape.
Fashion is always a subjective matter, and styling is even more personal. So, I tried to help you expand your horizons for more experiments. When you establish the right connection through these experiments, your perfect style is ready.
