For a celebration, a wedding, or a formal gathering, the correct set of accessories can change your attitude toward a silk outfit from “Oh, nice” dress to “Wow, where did you get that?!” In all situations.

We understand all those concerns and will show how to wear a silk dress like an expert in hurting readers' feelings. There’s a story from chic minimalism to unleashing the inner creative stylists; where does this story go? Find out how to wear a silk dress with accessories. Oh, it's Pakistani style!

Statement Jewellery: Bold & Beautiful

Nothing does Pakistani refined beauty quite like statement pieces of jewellery. Indeed, complimenting such a silk dress would always be on the traditional adornments. Chunky kundan sets, jhumkas, maang tikka, you name it. A silk fabric luxurious by nature makes such heavier ornaments less of a bother because the worn clothing is lighter. Heavy accessories can be easily worn with light women festive dresses to make them pop more.

Pro Tip

If your dress has many embellishments, pick one accessory: oversized earrings or a statement necklace. Anything more, and you will look overdressed. On the contrary, if your dress is plain and clean, please finish with a full set of jewellery because it is better to do so than not do it at all.

The Last Word in Elegance: Heels, Juttis, or Kolhapuris?

Speaking of which, footwear choices must be equally important, no matter how pretty your silk dress is. A pair of metallic gold or silver strappy heels is a wonderful accessory for formal wear and adds glam to the look. If you want a more modern look (or want to spare your feet), you can opt for juttis with trims or kolhapuri chappals. These will keep the amba of your silk dress yet look fashionable and comfortable.

When to wear what:

Heels

Best for formal occasions such as weddings or evening meals when you have to be elegant and tall. Best suited with luxury pret dresses for women in summer.

Juttis or Kolhapuris

Best for day events, celebrating Eids or simple lunch events where some tradition with some modernity is required.

Heels are for times when one wishes to tower above one’s relative worries, and juttis are used when you want to let go of the waltz without the motivation to take a breather every five minutes.

Play with Dupattas: Silk, Net or Organza?

In Pakistani outfits, the dupatta is a head-turner, and there is a specific pattern for making it look perfect when paired with a silk dress. However, if the silk dupatta is not to your liking, consider wearing a contrasting colour silk to add a more jubilant blend.

It further depends on the wearer's dress; if it is plain, a heavily embroidered dupatta can be added for some drama. If your silk dress has a lot of duty, there is no need to have a heavily embellished dupatta, but rather a thin, detailed or flowy dupatta. In winter shawls for women serves the same purpose also providing warmth.

Pro Tip

Let go of the childish side of who’s more creative and take the dupatta and pin it over your shoulder properly for a bright and clean look; lose the pallu over the front when going to a wedding in traditional attire

Add a Belt: Cinch It with Stylistic Precision

Pakistani fashion nowadays looks incomplete without a belt on top of the attire. It not only holds the silk dress intact, particularly a sari or a lehenga but also makes it fashionable by drawing attention to the waist, which helps accentuate the drapery in the silk fabric. Where a metallic belt would give you that trendy fusion appeal, embellished ones would be appropriate for more ethnic wear.

When to wear it:

The Belts are targeted for more evening functions such as receptions, cocktail parties or even for the day, a splendid dinner in celebration of Eid. These kinds of dresses are mostly available on Jeem as ready to wear dress. While the rest of the outfit would still be conservative, it helps to add a more modern appeal to make it look more appealing than usual.

Hair Accessories: To Be Glamorous or Subdued

Your silk dress is already a head-turner; enhance the dress with some hair accessories, too. If it’s a formal celebration, why not try a jewelled headpiece, a decorative hair comb or even fresh gajra with flowers for that ultimate traditional enhancement? Nevertheless, a golden clip or bun pins would be lovely for the uncluttered, sleek finish.

Pro Tip

It is best to avoid wearing hair accessories when wearing heavy maang tikka or huge earrings as they may make the hair look crowded on the head. Conversely, if you keep your accessories light, a hair adornment can be your best friend just like Maya Black dress here.

Clutches & Handbags

Let’s be honest; you cannot go wrong with how you look. Nothing is more non-style than carrying a giant purse in a dainty silk dress. In such cases, go for an elegant clutch or a potli bag to keep your bifold journal, phone, lipstick, and chewing gum close and ready. Let's add a thin metallic or embroidered clutch for that perfect touch of glam or a pot with beadwork or mirror work that is a little less dreamy and Southwestern.

When to wear what:

Clutch

Can be carried during formal dinners, evening weddings, and cocktail parties. Give in to metallic or embellishments for these events.

Potli bag

Best suited in potli bags for social occasions like weddings, mehndi and other festivals where you wish to add some traditional element to your ethnic wear.

Draping a Shawl: The Classy Cover-Up

If it is a winter wedding you are attending or any evening event, then slinging a shawl over your silk dress protects you from the elements and adds an extra antique feel. A pashmina shawl embroidered finely, a Banarsi stole, or even a velvet shawl of ornate detailing can only make you look more beautiful wearing a silk outfit while still looking imposing. Wearing shawls with mixed fabric like this Teal Shawl will make you look trendy.

Pro Tip

To create a dramatic air about the outfit, use a contrasting tone or colour or the same tone and colour if the more straightforward classical look is what the person going out wants. Or stay warm and classy anyway.

Keep Makeup and Nails on Point

Because Details Matter Let’s not forget the makeup and nails. Your silk dress deserves a face beat that is up to par. A bold lip with even a winged liner is all that’s for a classic look. A light smokey eye and nude lips will do the trick for the more adventurous ladies.

And nails? Never forget to finish it with a metallic or jewel-tone shade of ruby red, emerald green, or even gold.

Conclusion

Shine Bright Like Silk Displaying a silk dress does not mean only adorning accessories. There’s always the never-ending quest for balance, class, trending and a touch of glamour. If it is adding up some statement pieces, giant chunky rings, or wearing high heels or that soft shawl, ensure that whichever accessory you wear is in line with your style.

It’s now your moment in the spotlight, and you can be sure that all eyes will be on you because of your beautiful additions. Families with their children will be pitched in the excitement of attending a grand wedding or particular festive occasion, and you can bet it would be a silk dress combined with the right accessories that would not let you remain just as part of the celebrations but the festival itself!
