Alia Bhatt makes ear chains cool again: Top picks for your Karwa Chauth look: FAQs

• Are ear chains heavy to wear for long hours during Karwa Chauth?

  Not necessarily. Modern ear chains are designed to be lightweight and comfortable. While traditional Polki and Kundan styles may feel slightly heavier, options with pearls or AD stones are much easier to carry throughout the day.

• How do I take care of Kundan or Polki ear chains?

  Store them in a soft pouch away from moisture and perfumes. Clean gently with a dry cloth after use to maintain their shine and avoid tarnishing.

• Do ear chains suit only traditional outfits?

  No! While they are rooted in traditional styling, ear chains are versatile. They can be paired with Indo-western outfits, flowy maxi dresses, or even fusion sarees for a modern festive twist.

• How can I style ear chains with my Karwa Chauth outfit?

  Ear chains look best when paired with sarees, lehengas, or Anarkalis that have open or side-parted hairstyles. Pinning the chain into your hair with a maang tikka or bun enhances the overall look and keeps it secure.
