Styling Tips: 

Angara sui-dhaga earrings are a fashion statement that swings gracefully with every movement (and your moods!). Perfect for just any outing, sui dhaga earrings come in various designs, each uniquely beautiful and designed to complement your seasonal wardrobe.

Here are a few tips to keep in mind while dressing them: 

1. Understand the purpose of your outlook: 

These earrings can be worn with anything and for every reason, but understanding the purpose of your styling helps you pick the perfect design and slay them in the right way! For example, if you're up for a galantine date, a simple diamond pair would be just the right pick, while a pearl set would be more appropriate for a wedding event. 

2. Traditional designs go well with ethnic wear: 

Sui Dhaga earrings are deeply rooted in Indian culture and tradition. They beautifully complement traditional attire, such as sarees, lehengas, or salwar kameez. When wearing Sui Dhaga earrings with traditional outfits, choose a pair that complements the colours and patterns of your ensemble. 

3. Pick Modern Designs in Sui dhaga for fusion wear: 

Look for the design that incorporates some geometric shapes and chic styles to complement your western vibes. Pair it up gracefully with a kurti and denim to create a fusion look or simply go with the lil’ black dress of your choice and a sparkling dangle sui-dhaga piece to match the sway!

4. Maintain the balance of length and earrings size: 

We love dangles and the hair flicking dramma, but not every length is meant for everyone. It's essential to find the sweet spot for your face and go for the thread lengths. You may choose the one with either equal thread lengths on both sides or go for the uneven ones. 

5. Consider your hair-do and face-shape: 

Understanding the basics of your face-shape and personal style is very important. While these pieces come in a variety of designs, the length and size must always be in agreement with your face cut and hairstyle.

6. Consider your personal vibes: 

Everything bottles down to your vibes. Ask yourself questions — is this style gives out ‘my kinda vibes?’. Some designs may speak of excess boldness while the others might be too minimal. You need to figure out which one speaks to your sould and carry them like a boss!
