Navratri outfits: Here are 6 ways to add polki jewellery to your festive and semi-formal attire

With Navratri just around the corner, followed by a flurry of festive celebrations, jewellery becomes an integral part of your ensemble. The nine-day dandiya festival calls for colourful outfits, and what better way to elevate your look than with stunning Polki jewellery? This traditional embellishment not only reflects heritage but also adds a touch of elegance to any outfit, making it perfect for both festive and semi-formal occasions.

Traditional jewellery never goes out of fashion. Among these, polki jewellery stands out as a true piece of art that tells a story. "It enhances the beauty of every outfit, making it a must-have this festive season," says Sumit Dassani, Partner at Dassani Brothers. He adds, "With the increasing demand for traditional styles, polki has become synonymous with elegance, making it ideal for both dandiya nights and sophisticated gatherings."

Polki jewellery, with its heritage appeal and intricate craftsmanship, is a timeless way to elevate your Navratri wardrobe. Whether you're celebrating dandiya nights or attending semi-formal gatherings, Dassani suggests six ways to incorporate polki jewellery into your festive and semi-formal looks this season:

• Statement chokers for bold festive vibes: Chokers have made a stunning comeback in recent years, and Navratri is the perfect occasion to flaunt a bold Polki choker. Pair it with traditional lehengas or contemporary sarees draped in modern styles. The intricate design of Polki adds a regal touch, making your festive ensemble stand out.

• Layered necklaces for depth and dimension: Layering delicate Polki necklaces creates a rich, textured look perfect for evening events. Start with a shorter piece and add longer strands to complement deep-neck blouses or anarkalis. Layered necklaces add sophistication and can easily transition from daytime festivities to night.

• Elegant Polki earrings for a subtle glow: Polki earrings, like chandbalis or jhumkas, add a touch of understated glamour to any outfit. They pair beautifully with kurtas or shararas, offering the perfect balance between tradition and trend without overwhelming your ensemble.

• Polki maang tikka for a traditional twist: Adding a Polki maang tikka to your attire can instantly give your outfit a cultural and traditional edge. Whether paired with a ghagra choli or a semi-formal saree, a maang tikka enhances your festive look with timeless elegance.

• Cocktail rings for semi-formal evenings: For more subdued, semi-formal events, consider a Polki cocktail ring. These bold, intricately designed rings make a statement without requiring other heavy jewellery, offering a balance between luxury and minimalism.

• Bangles and bracelets for a balanced look: Polki bangles or bracelets can elevate your ensemble with just the right amount of sparkle. Stack bangles or wear a statement bracelet to bring elegance to both festive and semi-formal occasions.
