In the ancient days, these dupattas were worn primarily for the festivals and occasions like wedding and other ceremonies. But today, phulkari dupattas are popular and in-demand. You can wear a straight white Kurti with jeans and add a colourful phulkari dupatta to it, and your simple look for a wedding is all set. Don’t forget some jhumkas and bangles. Heavy Jhumkas The perfect pair of earrings can enhance your overall outfit to a lot of extend. Wearing heavy traditional jhumkas is another way of adding some Indian touch to your western attire.

Add a pair of simple jhumkas to your jumpsuit, and you are all set for a party in desi style. Jutti Mostly popular in places like Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan, Jutti is traditional Indian footwear which is shaped like ballerina shoes. In ancient times, Juttis were made of leather, and very decorative embroidery was done on them with the help of real gold and silver threads. Now, with the change in time, they have also evolved while the essence of their beauty remained the same. Young girls are immensely fond of this footwear as they complement their kurtas and pieces of denim while being comfortable to wear. You can flaunt them with salwar-kameez and saree as well, but these juttis are best paired with jeans, Kurti and a phulkari dupatta. Bangles Bangles have evolved a lot since their invention, and since then, they have been a part of every Indian woman’s attire. Earlier, it was a tough job to style traditional gold bangles with western outfits, as these bangles used to be massive and intricate. However, as time passed, modern bangle designs took over the market. And now you can find a variety of them in numerous materials, designs, colours and shapes as well. Simple gold kada bangles can be styled with any dress or top while the subtly designed diamond bangles can be paired with party gowns and dresses. The glass bangles can be paired with your Kurtis and jumpsuits. The delicate gemstone bangles look great with solid Kurtis and lehengas, but they can create a different charm when paired with shirts and skirts or with dresses with patterns.
