3 Anarkali Looks & The Accessories That Complete Them
Great Anarkali styling is less about piling on accessories and more about balance: a refined neckline, a focal accent, and a silhouette that moves. Below, we’ve taken three Anarkalis from the Fabilicious edit and paired each with the perfect accessory to complement color, proportion, and camera presence.
Each pairing reveals why it works, what to skip, and how to finish the look for your venue—so you can shop confidently and step out reception-ready without second-guessing.
Champagne Gold Crush Shimmer Anarkali — Nidhika Shekhar
Champagne gold is a natural spotlight colour: luminous in low light and flattering across skin tones. The clean neckline and fluid fall invite one hero accent that adds contrast without crowding — enter the green-stone polki choker, regal and perfectly scaled to the yoke.
Accessory pairing: Green-Stone & Polki Pearl Choker
Why it works: The green stone cuts the monotone gold with sophisticated contrast, while polki’s soft gleam mirrors the Anarkali’s shimmer.
Style it: Stud earrings, sleek bun, brushed-gold highlight, nude lip. Carry a metallic clutch; skip bangles so the choker leads.

White reads architectural and refined. To keep the line clean, let the neckline breathe and shift focus to statement earrings that create verticality and colour. Oversized polki danglers with blue accents deliver sparkle that photographs beautifully—no necklace needed.
Accessory pairing: Blue & Gold Polki Dangler Earrings
Why it works: Long earrings echo the Anarkali’s panels, lengthening the neck and adding a modern pop to crisp white.
Style it: Keep the neckline bare, add kohl-lined eyes and a rose lip. Finish with a metallic box clutch and strappy heels.

Champagne blush thrives on ethereal lightness. A mathapatti frames the face like fine architecture and adds just-enough bridal energy without competing neck jewelry. The green-and-white stones keep the palette delicate, letting the gown’s movement stay centre stage.
Accessory pairing: Gold-Plated Green & White Stone Mathapatti
Why it works: With a romantic neckline and soft tone, head jewelry becomes the focal point and keeps the bodice clean.
Style it: Low bun or polished pony, pearl studs, soft-glow base. Swap a tote for an embroidered potli bag to maintain the airy mood.
Shop Blush AnarkaliPro Tips for Proportion
Keep one hero accessory in focus — choker, earrings, or mathapatti — and let the Anarkali dress do the rest. If your yoke is heavily embellished or you wear a cape, skip the belt to preserve flow. Always test your look under similar lighting: metallics shine under chandeliers, pearls glow in daylight.
Fit matters as much as accessories. Use MySize to tailor sleeve length and hem for your event heels — a perfect sweep keeps movement graceful and photos pristine.
FAQs
Can I wear a choker with a high-neck or cape-yoke Anarkali? Usually no—let the neckline breathe. Swap the choker for long earrings or a mathapatti to maintain a clean vertical line.
When should I belt an Anarkali? Only when the bodice is simple and a belt improves proportion. Use a slim or mid-width style at the natural waist and re-check hem length over heels.
What accessories suit day vs evening? Day: pearls, polki, matte textures, potli bags. Evening: metallics, crystals, mirrored clutches, sleek silhouettes echoing satin or sequin fabrics.
