Let’s call accessories the fillers that add fullness to the fashion you follow. Accessories could be anything from the bangles to the key-ring and the purse; overall, they magnify the charm of the wearer.

That way, even shoes fall into the category of accessories as much as the scarves and the stoles. Off late, shawls are also making a comeback to the accessories arena and so are the bandannas and the hair clips.

However, one needs to keep in mind that whatever way they might be accessorizing, they need to stay within their respective age and body types. For those more on the heavier side, dark colored, heavy Indo-fusion designs work amazingly for them, whereas for the slim and trim ones, lighter shades of more finely crafted metallic accessories prove to be the best. These may range from oxidized metals to sterling silver. But always remember to pair up geometric designs with western wear while for an ethno-western look, the chunky designs should be emphasized on more.

One of the very traditional accessories, the nose rings and studs are now back into fashion and this time, they have that sporty, funky look in them. Together with finger and earrings of the same design and shade, they can be used as daily casuals. If you want a fuller look, a chain around the neck (of same material, design and gauge) shall bring it to you.

Now, it’s about the ladies’ handbags. There are several styles to choose from; while for work purpose you get the purses and the clutch bags, for shopping and a leisurely day in the town, the wooden-handled ones made of jute or even leather brings about a dashing look. Also, don’t forget about the sunglasses and the pen you use; if rightly chosen, they make that statement that cannot be achieved even with a million words.
