Ethnic Wear Styling Tips for Men- 8 Types of Accessories You Should Know

by Vikram Sharma Textile designer

Fashion evolves on a regular basis, making it difficult to keep up with the most recent fashion trends. However, you will undoubtedly be aware of any new style of jeans or t-shirt that is in fashion because you see people wearing it or because an actor in a movie wore it. You can also copy them, but people will notice right away that you are doing so. However, many people overlook the importance of accessories. It could be anything, including glares, wristwatches, and socks.

People prefer to wear ethnic clothing to weddings. Ethnic clothing looks stunning simply because of the bright colours, kitschy design, and accessories you wear with it. Accessories, believe it or not, have a significant impact on your overall appearance. With a pair of sunglasses, you can easily transform your casual look into a stylish and appealing one. Similarly, there are a plethora of accessories available to spice up your ethnic look.

However, the trick here is to choose accessories that complement your ethnic outfit; otherwise, your outfit will appear outlandish and strange. Here are some accessories to help you up to your ethnic game.

1. Socks

Socks, believe it or not, attract a lot of attention. There are times when you must remove your shoes. At that point, it's the socks' turn to shine. Wearing socks with a hole in the toe is not acceptable. Socks are also available in a variety of styles and patterns. Today's fashion is to wear mismatched socks for a unique look. If you don't want to go for the funky look, choose socks that match the rest of your outfit.

2. Pocket Squares

Pocket squares appear to be handkerchiefs in a pocket, but they are not. Pocket squares are also available in a variety of designs and patterns. Pocket squares with polka dots and floral prints are popular right now. The pocket square has the advantage of being able to be worn with Nehru jackets, Jodhpuri jackets, and sherwanis. It adds charm to your ethnic ensemble and is thus a must-have item.

3. Brooch

The brooch is possibly the most underappreciated accessory. A brooch is a pin that is worn on the lapel of a suit, sherwani, or jacket worn over a cotton vest. It, like the pocket square, adds a touch of charm and royalty to your ensemble. Brooches set with precious gems and diamonds are also available to completely transform even the most basic ethnic ensemble. You can also pin this brooch on a formal suit to make it look more festive.

4. Turban

Everyone in India is aware of the significance of the turban in Sikh culture. It is, however, also used as an accessory at weddings and other events. A turban is a piece of cloth that is wrapped around the head in a specific way. It is essentially a piece of headgear. The fabric used to tie a turban is usually floral or dotted in the pattern. The turban's base colour is vibrant and complements the outfit. A perfectly tied turban will undoubtedly draw attention to you.

5. Kalangi

The Kalangi brooch is a turban brooch. It's made of metal and comes with a pin on the back. The kalangi is embellished with precious gems and diamonds to give it a royal appearance. Some kalangis are made of gold and silver and adorned with feathers rather than gems. These types of kalangis are very popular nowadays and will undoubtedly add to the richness of your overall ethnic attire.

6. Neckwear

It does not always imply chains. The neckwear in this case is a scarf that is wrapped around the neck in a specific way. Under a jodhpuri suit or sherwani, a scarf can be worn as neckwear. It gives the ethnic attire an Indo-western flavour.

7. Cufflinks

Cufflinks are by far the most formal-looking accessory. It is mostly worn in formal suits. It is tied around the cuffs of the sleeves, as the name implies. It instantly gives the ethnic outfit a neat and stylish appearance. Cufflinks come in a variety of shapes, sizes, materials, and designs. It complements both formal suits and ethnic outfits such as the sherwani.

8. Stole

A stole is a shawl with intricate patterns and designs. You may believe that shawls are only worn by women, but men can also wear them. The stole, unlike the shawl worn over dhoti kurta or handloom lungi kurta, is made of a lighter material. As a result, they are easy to wear around the neck. They are also available in a variety of colours and patterns, allowing you to select the stole that best complements your ethnic ensemble.

These are the top eight accessories to wear with ethnic clothing. Furthermore, they are all readily available on the market. We hope you now have a better idea of how to make your ethnic look stand out from the crowd.
