‘Over-accessorising isn’t always the answer’Khyati Busa, celebrity stylist, says, “When styled right, jewellery can instantly elevate your look. Over-accessorising isn’t always the answer. Sometimes, less is more. For higher necklines, opt for statement earrings or bold ear cuffs to draw attention upward. With corset or lower necklines, go for a striking choker or a long, minimal necklace and skip the earrings for a sleeker finish. Think either-or, not all at once—it gives your outfit a bolder and modern festive vibe.”‘This Dhanteras, think of balancing minimalism with intention’Celebrity stylist Kayal Kothari shares, “Lately, there’s been a beautiful shift towards jewellery that whispers elegance rather than shouts for attention.
