Look who’s wearing mustard and setting serious ethnic fashion goals! Singer Shreya Ghoshal looked stunning in this embroidered mustard outfit. She stepped up the elegance with minimal traditional jewellery. But when you see Shreya Ghoshal’s graceful style, it’s hard not to fall in love with mustard all over again. It’s a colour that adds instant richness and festive flair to ethnic outfits.
While mustard might look easy to style, it does come with a few jewellery dos and don’ts. Accessorise in the wrong way and your outfit can look dull; pick carefully and you can transform your look. So, what jewellery works well with mustard?
Gold Jewellery
Gold and mustard just…match. Well, because they both have warm tones, gold jewellery always pairs well with mustard clothes. For a wedding, special occasion or any traditional event, reach for gold-toned jhumkas, kundans, neck pieces, bangles, or statement earrings. If your outfit is already heavily embroidered, pick one statement jewellery piece to avoid an overwhelming look.
Pair Oxidised Silver Jewellery for an Edgy Look
Not into traditional gold pieces? Pair your mustard outfit with oxidised silver jewellery.
The dark tones create a beautiful contrast with mustard’s warmer yellow tone. Try oxidised silver chandbalis, big hoop earrings, or cuff bracelets for a boho-chic look.
Pair Pearl Jewellery for Daytime Elegance
Pearls exude a completely different vibe.
Pearl earrings or a pearl necklace is all you need to soften out your mustard look. Pair pearl jewellery with your favourite mustard outfit for bridal parties, lunches and other daytime celebrations. Minimal pearl jewellery also pairs well with heavily embroidered outfits.
Add Some Colour
Mustard combines perfectly well with jewellery with coloured stones too.
Choose deep greens, reds, maroons or blues to create a beautiful contrast with mustard. Pair a minimalist mustard kurta or shirt with a statement necklace or coloured stone earrings.
Skip the Heavy Jewellery
If you want to wear mustard to college or for daily brunches with friends, skip the heavy jewellery.
Pair a mustard shirt, kurta or dress with simple chains, small pendants, thin bracelets, or subtle stud earrings. Minimal jewellery will give you a refined look without looking too festive.
Pro-tip by Tanishtra
Less is more when it comes to pairing mustard with heavy embroidery. If your outfit is simple, heavy jewellery adds necessary detail. But if your outfit is already full of detail, keep jewellery minimal.
Tanishtra’s range of contemporary chains, bracelets, rings, and statement neck pieces can work with Indian as well as Western outfits in mustard. And who knew you could style mustard for everyday wear as well?
The Verdict
Thanks to Shreya Ghoshal’s gorgeous look, we now know that mustard is more than just a festive shade. Whether you pair gold, oxidised silver, pearls or colourful stones with your favourite mustard outfit, jewellery can help transform your look.
