Chunky silver jewellery doesn't pair well with every outfit, as Taapsee Pannu found out recently. Here's how to nail a rustic look.
Taapsee Pannu
Classy and chic
- Opt for a deep shade - olive, green, maroon and blue work, though brown is ideal. Pick a skirt or dress and jacket in the similar shade of the colour but a different texture.
- Don't go for a fitting outfit. A dress that cinches at the waist with a bomber jacket is ideal.
- Pair this with no-frills dark coloured boots.
- Embrace the chunky but ditch the silver. Wear bronze accessories instead, with minimal detailing. Your make-up should be slightly bronze or nude.
Suit up
- Pick a loose fit - an overlarge option with baggy pants work best.
- Pick a light shade like brown, red, yellow, blue, green - they all work as long as it's not too loud and more on the subtler side.
- Avoid suede or silk.
Splash of colour
- If you want something bright, then opt for a patterned multi-coloured option - a long dress, jumper, palazzo pants and ganji are all combinations that work.
- Braid your hair to add a bit of a retro vibe to the look.
- A belt with a chunky clasp is a must. Make sure it's not too flashy. Accessorise with large earrings and rings in oxidised silver.
Desi drape
- A sombre lehenga choli or palazzo set will look great if you pair it with a shrug in a matching shade. Bronze with red or maroon with olive look great. Make sure it's not blingy, though some sheen might work too.
- Pair this with open-toed non-blingy flats.
- Let your hair down or wear it in a low, messy bun.
- Accessorise minimally and if you are up for jhumkas, make sure it's not too chunky.
