8 Indian Accessory Trends That You Must Bookmark This Shaadi Season

We’re pretty darn sure you’ve already come across LoveChild by Masaba’s batua pocket lipstick. Our first reaction was, “Wait, what and why?!” But somehow, it grew on us, and now, we’re kind of obsessed. Naturally, other brands jumped on the bandwagon too.

So, what does it actually hold? Your lipstick and a few Gandhi ji notes, honestly, that’s all you really need when you’re not planning a full-blown makeup retouch once you step inside the venue. The practicality is still debatable. But hey, it’s a trend, and a rather cute one at that!

That Ami Je Tomar moment women have long imagined themselves dancing to with ghungroos tinkling around their ankles has now moved up to their wrists. Why? Because ghungroo bangles are officially a thing, and we’re completely on board with it. Whoever came up with this idea, kudos!

And no, we’re not talking about kaleera lookalikes. These are bangles adorned with tiny ghungroos all around, in different colours that can instantly elevate any wedding fit of yours. They look especially stunning with sleeveless anarkalis or blouses.

Hasli, meaning collarbone, is a collar-like necklace that has been gaining momentum this year. It originally came from Rajasthan and Gujarat, where it was worn to showcase prosperity. Translating that into the modern world, if you want to look luxe, this is your way to go!

Another great thing about it is that your hair won't get tangled while locking the chain from behind, because there isn’t one. It’s open-ended and sits comfortably around your neck, with easy on-and-off whenever you feel like it. Go for a V or scoop neckline to let the limelight fall right on your neckpiece.

Brooches aren’t just trending in the desi world, even the West is embracing their comeback, especially for fall and winter. It’s quite unexpected to see them at the forefront of fashion, but we’re definitely not complaining. With endless options across so many styles, you might just find yourself starting a collection.

If you’re leaning towards modern designs, check out Odette. But if peak Indian is your calling, explore Treemoda, Teejh, or I Jewels. Just pin one onto your blouse, blazer, or even saree, and we’re pretty sure you’ll love the attention it brings!

Chokers hard-launched themselves years ago, went a little quiet last year, and now they’re back again! Beaded chokers, in particular, are having a major moment, not just within the Indian aesthetic, but beyond it too. Remember when the boho wave hit and everyone was pairing white shirts with ornamented chokers? Yep, that energy is back (minus those white shirt, flared skirt looks).

Even beaded layered necklaces are in if you’re styling deep-neck blouses and want to add some sparkle to your bare neck. But if not, chokers alone will do the trick just as beautifully!

Tribal jewellery has become such a huge thing this year that it wasn’t a surprise to see ornate clutches popping up on our Instagram feeds every single day. First it was arm cuffs, then nail rings, and now this — not complaining at all! Since these pieces look antique and are mostly metal, we’d suggest not pairing them with your heavy wedding outfits. Think more along the lines of white georgettes and easy frills; the aesthetic looks amazing, and the way these pieces elevate subtler fits will have you feeling pretty proud of what you are wearing.

Just like Alia’s open-hair-with-maathapatti look went viral a few years ago, it’s now starting to see some saturation, making way for sleek buns and braids instead (yes, even for guests). And the best way to dress up those buns? Statement bun pins.

There are stick-style ones with ornate heads, neckpiece-like designs that cover almost your entire bun, and even tiny pins you can scatter all over for that twinkly touch!

Along with buns and braids, the half, loosely tucked hairstyle is making a comeback too. And what complements it best are ear chains. These usually come with statement earrings attached to layered chains that go back and tuck into your hair — secured with a few bobby pins to keep them in place.

They’re a great investment because not only do they make your lobes look stunning, but from the side or even the back, those chains keep your whole look beautifully decked up. Just remember to pair them with a subtle neckpiece to avoid looking too much.
