Your diamond mangalsutra is more than just a piece of jewellery. It's a representation of love, tradition, and specific moments throughout your life. To be honest, it should be worn more, not just at the big events.
I mean, you live each sphere of your life with its rhythm, right?
Whether you are getting ready for a celebration, running errands, or heading to work, your mangalsutra can naturally move with that rhythm. Even with the formal wear and a mangalsutra styled for the office, it adds the right type of elegance without being too extravagant.
I'll offer a few easy, no-fuss ways to style your diamond mangalsutra based on where you'll be going, without making it a hard process.
Simple Diamond Mangalsutra Look For Daily Wear
Bottom line, if you are going to wear something daily, it has to be easy to wear. A good example is my sister, who commonly wears a mangalsutra, and she forgets half the time she has it on. That’s the kind of comfort!
Therefore, you should have a lightweight choice for everyday wear if you plan to wear your diamond mangalsutra every day. Look for something super light and easy. A simple design with one or two small diamonds on a very thin chain is the best option. You don’t want it to interfere with your day-to-day activity- opening the door, chasing a bus, cooking lunch, running around town in a t-shirt, etc.
You are looking for something that feels like a second skin with just an inkling of sparkle.
A tiny solitaire-style diamond pendant, a small cluster of diamonds, if on a fine enough chain, can be an amazing option. It won't get caught in your scarf or snag from your handbag. You can wear it with a kurta, a t-shirt, or even jeans; it simply sits without asking for attention. It is the perfect item of everyday wear, from morning to night, without a second thought.
Polished, Not Super Flashy Office Mangalsutra Styling
When it comes to office style, there is a style lexicon. You want to look polished, not done up. Mangalsutra styling for the office speaks to understated sophistication. A sleek, modern diamond pendant on a straightforward gold or black bead will work great. You may wear it underneath a solid saree or a form-fitting dressy blouse. It provides enough detail to elevate your outfit while being subtle.
One of my colleagues wears hers with a blazer and simple studs; it always looks classy. If you are into accessories, you could also try to layer them with a thin chain or diamond bracelet for some subtle layering.
Wearing A Diamond Mangalsutra As Statement Jewellery
Festivals are your way to where your diamond mangalsutra, a statement of jewelry. Festivals are a perfect scope to wear your diamond mangalsutra as a statement jewellery; let it sparkle, literally! Look for one that is heavy; a floral or vintage design would be perfect. The more detail, the better!
Wear it with a unique, silky saree, traditional jhumkas, and a bold bindi, and this would put the final piece to the puzzle for your outfit. I promise it will bring the whole outfit together!
Styling Traditional Mangalsutra Pendants With Western Looks
A few years ago, this concept might have been met with some scepticism, but now fusion is in! Many of the newer diamond mangalsutra designs are minimal and chic, so they can be worn with the freedom of fusion wear.
Think about shirt dresses, co-ord sets, or even plain casual t-shirts, as well as geometric or bar pendant styles. Add in some mini hoops or a cuff bracelet, and you have a look that shows you are connected to tradition with your spin on it.
Wearing A Diamond Mangalsutra For Special Events
When dressing up for an event, a wedding, or an anniversary dinner, don’t hold back. Wearing a diamond mangalsutra for special events starts with a statement, bold statement pendant, complete with intricate diamond work, such as halo-style settings or floral designs, to take your outfit up a notch.
Alloyed with fabrics like rich velvet or raw silk, even a matching diamond ring and/or diamond bangles. You want your mangalsutra to be at the very least a striking supporting role in your look.
Conclusion
The best thing about your diamond mangalsutra? It is yours. It has value to you that you understand. So wear it as you please, whether that is simple and understated or flashy and bold.
No rules. No specific dos and don'ts. Simply fragments of you interwoven with life, memory, and style.
