Coordination with Earrings and Necklaces
Mixing and matching hair accessories with other jewelry can be a fun way to personalize your look and add depth to your style. The key is balance and harmony. Start by choosing a focal point. It can either be your hair accessory or a statement piece of jewelry like your necklace or earrings. Consider styling a delicate pair of earrings or a necklace if you are wearing a statement maang tikka. It ensures that your overall look remains elegant without appearing too busy.
You can complement bold earrings or a statement necklace with more understated hair accessories like a delicate hairpin or a simple bun brooch for that perfect finishing touch.
