Accessories can elevate an affordable cotton suit into a fashion statement or ruin a luxury silk saree. Here are 4 foolproof rules for matching bags and shoes with Indian outfits.
1. 4 Accessory Matching Rules
- Rule 1: Anchor Metal Hardware with Zari Borders. Pair gold potli bags with gold zari sarees. Pair silver embroidered juttis with silver chikankari.
- Rule 2: Match Footwear to Dupatta Accent. Pick a minor accent color in your floral or bandhani dupatta for your shoes.
- Rule 3: Nude & Antique Metallic Fallbacks. Nude heels and antique gold juttis match 90% of Indian outfits effortlessly.
- Rule 4: Avoid Over-Matching. Don't match red suit + red bag + red shoes + red bangles. Use neutral grounding.
