How to Accessorise Kids' Ethnic Wear (Without Overdoing It)

by Adarsh Singh 18 Aug 2026

A beautiful lehenga or kurta rarely needs much help — but the right finishing touches pull the whole look together. The art is knowing when to stop.

Jewellery: less is more

For girls, one or two pieces are plenty — a pair of jhumkas and a small bangle set, or a single delicate necklace. Skip heavy, sharp-edged jewellery on young children; it's uncomfortable and easily lost. Clip-on earrings are safer than hooks for little ones.

Footwear that survives the day

Mojris and juttis look gorgeous in photos and rarely last a full function. Bring a comfortable, broken-in backup pair, and choose shoes your child can walk and run in. For boys, soft ethnic slip-ons beat stiff formal shoes for a long day.

Hair: pretty but practical

Elaborate hairstyles don't survive two hours of play. A style that still looks good half-undone — a simple braid with a flower, a soft bun, loose waves with a clip — is the sensible choice. Coordinate one hair accessory with the outfit rather than piling several on.

The finishing touches for boys

A safa or pagdi for a special function, a small brooch on a sherwani, or a pocket square on a jacket adds polish without fuss. One statement piece is enough.

The one rule that covers everything

If you're not sure whether to add something, don't. A child in a lovely outfit with one well-chosen accessory always looks better than one weighed down by five.

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. Why do we use it? It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
