Pairing gold and silver jewellery with festive outfits

For Dhanteras puja and family visits, a cherished necklace can be the starting point of an outfit. It can be worn with an ivory blouse or a deep-green top, with a neckline that lets it sit comfortably. An open-collared shirt and tailored trousers give the same jewellery a contemporary look. Trying a new necklace at different lengths helps show where it sits best. A gold blazer offers festive shine for Diwali dinners and gatherings. It can be worn over a black silk top with full-length trousers, or with ivory separates. Fit across the shoulders and upper arms matters, and the jacket should move easily when sitting or reaching. Long earrings with coloured stones can add detail to a familiar blouse or dress, and their weight and fastening should be checked before a long day of events. For a dressier Diwali party, a long gold gown brings the metallic theme into evening wear.
