For jewelry, wear an elegant watch and a kada for your other hand. Neck pieces can be simple or avoided if you are wearing long earrings that stand out with your outfit.

How to dress up in your 20's
Teen age and the early twenties is an age to experiment and explore. Wear anything with an attitude and it is acceptable. Funky accessories like colorful bangles, fancy hair clips, bandanas, stoles and scarves will be the favorite of these youngsters. Skinny jeans with tight fitted tees and also T - shirts with messages written on them are trendy. Capris, harem pants, shorts, dhoti salwar, patiala, afghani salwar and churidhar can be worn with kurtis. The kurtis can be worn short. Indo western styles are easily adapted by girls in their 2o's. With regard to bags, fabric bags with broad slings worn across the shoulder make them look rebellious and fun loving. Wedges, cindrella shoes and casual flats in colorful hues make them appear cool and casual.
