Traditional to Modern: How to Wear a Pakistani Ethnic Mala Set

Pakistani ethnic jewelry, located in the niche of the iconic mala set, still this piece of decoration has universal appeal. I have always had a prejudice with this as these stupendous pieces exhibit intricately manufactured designs with strong cultural significance. The versatility of a Pakistani mala is such that, for instance, where one wishes to go to a traditional wedding or just wants to spice things up with a casual outfit, a mala set will totally do the transformation. Now listen, in this blog post today, I will discuss how a Pakistani ethnic mala set can be styled in the best possible way so as to fit various functions and outfits our viewers may have.

Understanding the Essence of a Pakistani Mala Set

Before jumping into the various styles of wearing a mala set, it is important to provide the reason behind their essence. A Pakistani mala set includes long pearl or bead necklaces, diadems, and matching jhumka or earrings. Such sets have a reputation for detail as their designs rank among the work of artisans in Pakistan.

When it comes to choosing a mala from TJWholeSale, for me, it has always been a question of which piece will look good on my eyes and occasion at hand. A delicate pearl mala for a small get together or something flashy and beaded for a wedding, there is always something for everyone in the whole set.

Traditional Styling: Slaying Her Inner Image

As a traditionalist at heart, nothing gives more satisfaction than to layer a mala set with traditional pakistani dresses. Here are a few tips on how to achieve the classic look:

With a Shalwar Kameez or Anarkali: The most basic way to sport a mala set is with a beautifully decorated shalwar kameez or a flowy anarkali dress. Choose a pearl set or a kundan mala to go with the colors and embroideries of the outfit. I feel a multi strand mala gives a royal effect and is belted during weddings and festive occasions.

Accentuating a Lehenga: Focus on using a few Mala Sets to complement the weight and glamour to a lehenga in case you have to take a katha out to a wedding or any such similar event. Go for a longer mala which nicely hangs over the blouse. For some reason, I can not help combining head-turning mala sets by TJWholeSale with monochrome lehengas.

Transitioning to Modern: You Can Use Mala Sets Even When Wearing Contemporary Clothes

Who says that mala sets are used with only the ethnic wear? One of the reasons I love these pieces is the way they are made to suit the wearer. Here’s how global fashion can incorporate local attire:

Layering with Western Outfits: To pursue a blend look, place your mala set over a high neck blouse or even a simple shirt. This combo of ethnic jewelry within western attire takes your fashion sense into another level. Usually, I wear a pearl mala from TJWholeSale on white top and jeans style-i love the mix of decadence and modernity!

Pairing with Dresses: Whether it’s a maxi dress, a midi, or a little black dress, in all cases mala sets can really change the design. If you wish to wear something lighter, choose simplistic designs, but if you want heads to turn, then creative malas will do for you. Given the recent party, I wore a plain black dress and added a vibrant mala from TJWholeSale and many people complimented me!

Minimalist Style: Less is More with Mala Sets

Everybody needs to dress up and look great. That is dressed appropriately for the occasion. Looking great does not only come with wearing designer and elaborate ornaments. For a person who is minimalistic, one can still wear the mala sets and not feel too much.

Let’s go through it step by step:

Opt For a Single-Strand Mala: Single strand mala wear bedecked with fine beads or pearls is highly recommended for this style. Whenever I go out casually or for a lunch date, I like to wear a simple mala purchased which looks very nice yet simple. It makes my outfit sophisticated but not too much.

Keep It Light with Neutral Tones: A mala can be bought in soft, neutral shades such as ivory, beige and light pink. These shades go pretty well with ethnic wear as well as western wear making it a very useful piece of jewelry to have.

Mixing and Matching: Creating Unique Styles

Everyone likes to wear mala sets as you can create different styles with the mala set. Here are some interesting approaches to solution mix and match: 

Experiment with Layering: To make a bohemian-inspired look add layers of various mala sets differing in lengths and colors. I enjoy wearing pearl mala along with gemstone mala set for richness and contrast in my outfit.

Combine with Other Jewelry: Don’t hesitate to wear other jewelry along with your mala set. Other jewelry could include necklaces, chokers, and pendant necklaces etc. Such a combination is very daring and definitely remarkable as it is out of the ordinary and fashionable.

Selecting The Best Suitable Mala Set Depending On The Function

In terms of styling a mala set, how one pieces it together is what is important. Here’s a quick summary of what you should do:

For Festive Events: Avoid using light mala sets devoid of gemstones than use more embellished malas which are heavy. Such pieces are good for ceremonies, Eid and other festive events.

For Casual Outings: A light piece made from pearls or small beads works best for such breezy occasions. For my part, I usually go to TJWholeSale as the quiet working day styled malas from their normal collection are very appealing yet not overstated.

Caring for Your Mala Set

High quality mala sets would seem to be worthless unless you maintain their appearance by taking due care of them. Although this may require doing it right, it is important to keep necklaces in a cool and dry place away from dampness and corrosion. After every use of my mala sets, I always ensure that they are polished using a soft cloth to eliminate the chances of dirt building up on them.

Let’s Appreciate the Never-Ending Allure of Mala Sets.

Pakistani mala sets represent more than just adornments; they are an inexhaustible statement piece from our history and utility that complements any ensemble. These accessories can be used for traditional ceremonies as well as modern day events as they can accent any outfit perfectly and with poise. If there is something specific you are looking for as far as mala sets are concerned, then do not miss out on the range at TJWholeSale. No matter if you are looking for a lovely pearl mala like I have or a lovely wooden beaded set, you are sure to love what is available.

In short, fashion allows freedom of expression and a good mala set can change the way an outfit looks in a positive way. Hence, there is no need to hold back in trying out a Pakistani ethnic mala set as the options are limitless!
