Elevate Your Look with These Trendy Statement Pieces
Raghav Mittal, Chief Creative Director and Managing Director, House of Surya, shared with HT Lifestyle some trendy accessories that can instantly elevate your wardrobe.
1. Eye-catching handbags
A statement handbag is a fashion essential that can tie your entire look together. Opt for vibrant colours, unique shapes, or interesting textures to make your bag stand out. From structured totes to embellished and sequin clutches or potali bags, the right handbag can make a lasting impression. If the outfit has some special effects such as 3-D embroidery, consider adding a 3-D embroidered motif to a bag or clutch.
2. Statement necklaces
Imagine a radiant bride adorned in a regal Kundan necklace, its intricate design delicately hugging her neckline, reflecting the light with every step she takes. A chunky, eye-catching necklace instantly adds a touch of glamour to any outfit. Whether it's a vibrant beaded piece or a metallic collar necklace, these statement accessories become the focal point of your look, drawing attention to your neckline and enhancing your overall style. From intricate floral necklaces to dainty flower-adorned maang tikkas, even ‘bajubandhs’ have the power to uplift bridal looks to enchanting heights.
3. Oversized sunglasses
Sunglasses, the unexpected star of the bridal ensemble, possess a remarkable power to uplift and elevate the bride’s look on her special day. While traditionally associated with casual or beachwear, these stylish shades have now found their way into bridal fashion, adding a touch of glamour and sophistication. Sunglasses, while protecting eyes, also add an air of mystery. Choose a style that complements your face shape and opt for frames in bold colours or trendy patterns to make a statement.
4. Bold earrings
For the ethereal charm of a bridal or ethnic look, nothing compares to the allure of statement or bold earrings. Cascading down like chandeliers, they frame the face and draw attention to the bride's natural beauty, adding an ethereal sparkle to her eyes. Experiment with different shapes, colours, and textures to find the perfect pair that complements your outfit and enhances your features.
5. Blingy heels
When it comes to choosing the perfect footwear to make a bridal look more appealing, there are several standout choices ranging from elegant, strappy heels adorned with delicate embellishments, lace, or satin to flats bedazzled with crystals, beads, or intricate embroidery. Opt for a heel height that you're comfortable with, ensuring you can walk confidently and gracefully.
Accessories are the secret weapon to taking your style to new heights. From statement necklaces and oversized sunglasses to embellished potlis, designer dupattas, and eye-catching footwear, these fashionable pieces have the power to transform your look from ordinary to extraordinary.
