Bangles have not only been an accessory in great demand in Pakistan since ancient times, but are also a part of the culture, beauty, and wedding rituals. Hence whenever there is a wedding or even any sort of get together such as family get together, I see myself inserting my favorite bangles at those instances. They complete the look for any outfit, be it a traditional shalwar kameez, a lehenga with heavy ethnic work, or even a mixture craft dress. At TJWholeSale, they know that bangles are deeply rooted in one’s history so they offer ethnic bangles that are appealing to every person.
Why Bangles Are a Necessity During Festive Occasions
While it may concern festive occasions, Pakistani women have a tendency to go back to their ethnic origins by wearing traditional outfits along with the appropriate accessories. In this case, Bangles are a necessity. Be it their bright hues, detailed artistry or the noise they create, these ornaments enhance the mood of partying to whatever occasion. I however usually end up wearing one or two, no make that three or four glass metal bangles, just makes me feel pretty with eye candy on, somehow always fits in the festivities without being overly decorated.
Bangles have a social religious relevance as they extend goodwill, happiness, and suggest success. For brides, the bangles represent a new chapter, whereas others will use them as a reminder of the good old days and practices. It is the main reason why I prefer buying a good enough stock of bangles from TJWholeSale that cut across many cultural and festive occasions.
Types of Pakistani Ethnic Bangles
Being ethnic bangles, their most interesting attribute is their variety. At TJWholeSale, for instance, I have learned that some of the most treasured collections are:
Glass Bangles: Festive bangles, in the most classic sense, are made from traditional glass. Judith y’all knows what “glass bangles look” are? I love how the colors shine and twinkling lights are dazzled by the sparkling. Glass bangles are for any festivities like weddings, Eid or otherwise if you want to simply have fun in the case of getting bored: wear them either in complete colour harmony with an outfit or in multiple colours.
Metal Bangles: If the likes of ayurvedic bangles made of the softer materials are not really appealing, metal bangles have a sure edge over plastic bangles. They come in different colours of gold, silver and oxidized metal. They are always great to complement any outfit. Personally I love wearing gold metal bangles with some embroidery on lehenga choli or shalwar kameez.
Lac Bangles: Designed and made in Rajasthan, lac bangles are also very popular in the festive dressing of Pakistan. These pretty ornaments are popular for their colors, patterns and for the addition of mirrors, beads and paint to them. These bangles are the ones that I prefer wearing usually for Mehndi functions or dholkis when I am going for a different style on these particular occasions.
Kundan and Polki Bangles: If you are out shopping, and you want something heavy and gorgeous then Kundan and Polki bangles are the ones for you. These pieces contain mostly ossemi-precious stones embedded and detailed in it, making it ideal for weddings and other extravagant events. Kundan bangles are good for making bold statements and I shop Kundan bangles from TJWholeSale whenever I feel like making such a bold statement.
How to Style Bangles for Festive Wear
It can be as interesting to style bangles as it is to select them. Here are a few that way have been helpful to me:
Mix and Match: I would say combine different types of bent. Do Not stick to only one type of bangle. I have a particular fondness for glass bangles hence I tend to wear them with metal bangles too. For example, a stack of gold metal bangles with a few colored glass bangles would work really well in complementing rather than obscuring a traditional wear.
Color Coordination: Put on bangles that will blend with the color of your outfit. For instance, a plain white or beige outfit can never go wrong with red or green bangles. On the contrary, if the outfit is a heavily sequined or a multi-colored one, then wear plain metal bangles or single colored bangles simply to tamper the look.
Experiment with Sizes: Stacking bangles of varying widths gives a pretty layered look while still being festive. I am always the one to put on the wide bangles first then follow with the thin ones featuring different textures just to add some depth.
Single Statement Bangle: Sometimes it only works, it is even better. I wear a huge Kundan or Polki bangle alone when I want to dress up simply but in a statement manner.
Choosing the Right Bangles for Your Skin Tone
Believe it or not, not everyone can wear the same color bangles and not look too tacky wherever they go. Here’s how I usually pick mine:
For Fair Skin Tones: I like deep red and also blue and green. I however find that gold metal bangles do the look justice still but not too much.
For Medium to Wheatish Skin Tones: Shades yellow, orange or even pink are ideal. There can be some glass bangles of these cwgwd854 which will brighten up the skin.
For Darker Skin Tones: Darker shades like royal blue, wine red, and dark green have an appeal. I always suggest that I decorate Kundan bangles with white stones which look very powerful.
