Fashion these days has undoubtedly taken a bizarre form. And why not, it is the only platform where we can experiment incessantly. Talking about trends and styles adopted by women, it has really become a hybrid version of Indian and western, which is supposedly tagged as Indo-western look. Yes, goes well with the cliché ‘East meets West’!

The tradition of wearing bangles in India dates back to the ancient times. And, even today, womenfolk love to enhance their feminine grace and beauty with the help of bangles that are available in variety of forms. The style statement of a modern woman is a blend of traditional and contemporary look. I remember there was a time when most of the women, particularly in India, used to say that I don’t like to get decked up with lot of accessories. But now the trend has changed. Women wear jeans and along with that she wears vibrant funky bangles, heavy necklaces, long earrings, et al. But trust me they really look pretty even in this weird combination! And what else, if celebrities, viz, Beyonce Knowles (famous American Singer) goes for such look, then it ought to be a trend. Recently, Beyonce was spotted wearing colorful bangles while treading the red carpet.

Rather than particular type of bangles, I guess these days different kind of bangles in different shapes, colors, and variety are in trend. For instance, gold bangles are never out of style and are perfect for a traditional and gorgeous look. These kinds of bangles look just right when teamed with gorgeous zari woven silk sarees. Glass bangles and ethnic bangles studded with stones or mirrors were and will always be popular. Also bright and colorful lac, acrylic, wood and plastic bangles in different shapes, viz, square, wavy, oval, triangle, etc., that are teamed with indo-western outfits, have been quite popular for a while. Actually speaking they are the most sought-after these days.

Oh! this reminds me that few days back while waiting at the bus stop; I came across this chic girl who was wearing a casual jeans and plain white T-shirt. But what added charm to her simple modern look were the multi-hued plastic bangles that she was wearing that too only in her one hand. Being a color freak, I really liked the combination of bangles in vivacious yellow, red, blue, and green. It was really going well with her simple attire. Those colorful kadas exhibited that bubbly look in that girl.

So, I am going to buy some colorful bangles soon on my next shopping spree. Hope you will also buy some for yourself. Definitely, it will grab some attention around!
