‘I can’t believe my eyes’ is a familiar phrase, but ‘I can’t believe those earrings?’ Well if you spend most of your time scrolling away on social media, or often catch your eyes fixated on those lawn walay billboards, you might have noticed these long, dangling bunch of threads hanging from Mahira’s, Marwa’s and Syra’s ear lobes. These tassels have become the new Pakistani fashion statement ever since the fashion industry came across Kareena Kapoor wearing them to an awards night. Match them with your lawn outfits, and add some spark to your entire wardrobe.
Although tassels might have been spotted on a host of Hollywood actresses walking the red carpets and while attending casual parties, believe it or not, they’re not the only ones who can pull off this accessory. We desi beauties can give it a try as well!

Pair Them With A Simple Jora? Yes you can!
Got any old yet favourite kurtis or tops that might be a single color? Or a light-pastel shade chicken kurti? Pair them with colorful tassels. Create a contrast and make them the highlight of your look!
Tassels and Chamkeelay Kapray? Is a big No-No!
Balance is necessary at all times, and when attending a traditional event with all the sitaras, glitter, gold and silver embroidery on our shararas , ghararas and ghair-wali shalwars, we’re struck by a super bling-bling vibe. Adding tassels to this desi look will definitely break the cultural aspect of the outfit.

Lawn, Linen, Tassels? Oh Yes, bring ’em on!
Have a get-together with friends? Or are you planning to have dinner with the family? These gorgeous tassels are available online and at a number of shops with a variety of designs; from bird cages, to pearls and jewel embellishments to hold the tassels in place.
Make them prettier and wear them on your casual, printed lawn or linen shirts, creating a perfect balance between all the colors in your outfit and your earrings. Pick any color you like!

Tassels and Long Skirts? Oops, my blah-radar just activated!
Just reading these two words together, activates my ‘blah-radar’. Long skirts and tassels are such a bad combination. Long, flowy skirts are a statement in themselves; adding tassels to the look would just overcrowd your entire look and make it too busy for one outfit.
Tassels and Tops? Both begin with a ‘T’ so that means they’re meant to be!
(Hey! That rhymes). Well, sometimes plain tops with jeans can get boring, wearing some neon tassels could add a more fashionable, yet sophisticated look to your entire outfit. Highlighter-yellow, Battery-Charged Blue and Perky-Pink tassels are what you should be looking for. Add these to a black top with jeans and thank me later!

Over-sized Clothes and Tassels? A disaster in the making!
I love tassels and I love over-sized clothes, but wearing both together, spells disaster. Over-sized clothes are enough to pull off a look on their own without any jewelry. Adding tassels would just wreck your style and make it look like you were trying too hard.
