The hot summers are already here and that means it's time for a change of wardrobe. The cool, breezy pastels and whites will now make a splash in your closet. But there is something else that it needs!
Yes, we are talking about accessories. What Indian woman doesn't love her jewellery? But since summers can be excruciatingly hot, it's best to lay off the heavy metals and add something topical and light.
So when it came to inspiration, who better to lend us some than yummy mummy Shilpa Shetty Kundra. She's not one to wear too much jewellery, but when she does, she gives is major bling inspiration! Here are the five times she swept us off our feet with her sartorial jewellery choices.
#1 Simple studs
Most of us love our stud earrings and it is certainly the perfect accessory on a hot summer day. It adds just the right amount of bling to your ensemble and also keeps it light and simple. But if you thought you could only wear it with simple Indian outfits or tees and denims, you'd be wrong.
Shetty added studs to a gorgeous gown, pulled up her hair and made this one of the great summer night party looks.
#2 Statement silver danglers
This has become one of the most trending metals at the moment and everybody from Shilpa Shetty Kundra to Kareena Kapoor Khan to Vidya Balan are sporting it. It's also a great addition to Indian traditional wear and lends a bit of quirk to the overall look whether you wear a saree or a salwar-suit.
Take a cue from Shilpa Shetty Kundra and add some quirk with heavy silver earrings and give a modern twist to your desi wear. Since it may be hot outside, it's also best to leave that neckpiece at home and just rock the earrings.
#3 Pearl neckpieces
You can never really go wrong with pearls unless you are roaming around with a satlada! Pearls are a perfect accessory to summer desi wear. They add elegance and cool to the ensemble are are great when worn in moderation, especially if you are a young mum.
Take a cue from Shilpa who is sporting a gorgeous pearl neckpiece. Of course, you don't have the replicate the exact same piece, but you can always take inspiration from it and add some pearly whites to your summer outfits.
#4 Earcuffs galore
This particular accessory is a rage in the markets right now. Every fashionista is sporting them not only because of their versatility (they can be worn with Indian and western clothes alike), but also for their wearability.
They are easy to carry and add zing to an ensemble. If you do not like too much fuzz with jewellery, especially if your work requires you to head outside during the summers then earcuffs are the perfect bet. They come in all sizes and suit all face shapes.
#5 Simple bespoke gold chains
If you're not into heavy jewellery or don't like changing accessories everyday, then one statement piece can make it work for you no matter what you wear. For instance, Shilpa Shetty Kundra has a bespoke gold chain that has her husband and son's name engraved along with an evil eye.
It works well for her, not just for sentimental value, but it's a smart piece that doesn't take the focus off of her clothes. Plus, it can be worn with Indian as well as western clothes.
