Styling ethnic wear can be confusing for Indian men, especially Gen Z guys who may not have grown up wearing traditional clothing regularly. With so many different styles and cultural traditions to consider, it can be challenging to know where to start. Additionally, men may struggle to find guidance on how to style ethnic wear, as there are often fewer resources available for men compared to women's fashion. And if they don’t know how to style their traditional clothing in a modern and fashionable way, they can easily lose confidence in wearing ethnic wear and keep sticking to Western clothing instead.
Why men’s bracelet, though?
Men’s bracelet, for one, is a safe choice for those who are just entering this arena of accessory. Unlike an ear stud, you don’t have to commit to a piercing and unlike a neck chain, you can keep it subtle and hidden, perfect for a peek-a-boo. Furthermore, navigating to a bracelet is always easy, as most men wear wristwatches already. So, not really a big shift there!
How does it matter?
Ethnic wear for men in India is known for its rich, vibrant colours and traditional elements such as embroidery, patterns, and beadwork. A bracelet can add a pop of colour that complements or contrasts with the outfit. A bracelet with similar designs or elements to the outfit can also help enhance the traditional look. In addition, a bracelet can bring both a visual balance and a style balance to the outfit by making it simple or classy. With a wide range of designs and materials available, bracelets offer a great opportunity for men to express their personal style while complementing their ethnic wear.
What’s new?
For the last month, Orionz has been designing and manufacturing some super special silver bracelets for men. We have incorporated modern tweaks, timeless traditional, vintage odes, and some really quaint ones. We are sure these designs will knock it out of the park if you wear them with your next ethnic wear ensemble. Let us give you some styling tips as we introduce our bestsellers.
Match your Hues with the Ethnic Blues!
Whether you wear a majestic pathani suit or a graceful bandhgala, adding a bracelet in a complementary or contrasting colour will enhance the overall look of the outfit, making it appear more polished and put together. For instance, if the outfit is primarily in blue shades, adding a bracelet in a complementary colour like this Blue Numeral Wrist Band can create a more cohesive and harmonious look. The silver-black combination of this Greek Key Wrist Band adds a touch of chic sophistication.
Trippy Textures
It is not just women who can plan their jewellery around the embroidery or patterns of their dress, men can do it too, especially, when it comes to Indian men's ethnic wear. This Victorian Chain Bracelet features interesting textures with its oxidised silver look that ooze a retro vintage charm, enough to lift up traditional wear like kurta salwars or compliment the masculine look of achkan sherwanis. For an Indo-Western outfit, add these slim chains like this Towering Box Link Bracelet or Arched Bridge Box Link Bracelet. Their clean and crisp design flow will match the western twist to your Indian wear while the interesting texture of the stiff top will enhance the ethnic elements of your attire. All in all, textured bracelets lend depth and visual interest to an outfit, creating a more dynamic and layered looks.
Master the Mix
We generally see men’s ethnic wear from two contrasting spectrums. Either they are utterly simple and devoid of any jamboree or excessively overwhelming with a lot going on in terms of colours, patterns, and textures. That's where a bracelet can come in handy, to strike a perfect balance. A bracelet with simpler designs, or made from sturdy and stylish materials like sterling silver like this Chunky Rope Bracelet or this Textured Dual Link Bracelet can make an ornate ensemble like sherwanis and bandhgalas appear more elegant. Whereas, if you are wearing a simple kurta pajama, go for delightful designs like this Revolving Om Barrel Bracelet, you can impress people with your playful personality and unique sense of style.
Don’t you agree, already?
Of course, you do! And we can’t stress enough how versatile bracelets are actually, and how they really are an exciting accessory option for men's ethnic wear in India. Whether you are going for a classic and elegant look or a bold and quirky vibe, don't be afraid to experiment with bracelets and make a statement with your ethnic wear fashion.
