The Best of Myntra's Saree Collection: Step Out Looking Eye Catching in the 10 Hottest Accessories and Sarees Available in Myntra

The first step to wearing a saree is to know how to drape it well. A saree is typically 5-9 yards long and 2-4 feet wide, which implies that there’s a lot of fabric to manage and style. There are several trending styles that one can use to don a saree, some of them being, the Nivi style, Gujarati style, the Bengali style, a Marathi style and then some contemporary styles like the butterfly, the mermaid drape, or the dhoti.

You can explore and experiments with different draping styles, without getting too involved in anyone. Enjoy mixing and matching different methods and saree lengths to identify the styles you like. You can also style your sarees with some modern twists like wearing a jacket over the saree, wear it with a suspender, use it with flowing pants or a skirt for a unique look, add a belt for a quirky edge to the saree.

Further, a blouse is another important part of the Saree outfit, which not only protects you from attracting unnecessary attention but also adds an extra inch of oomph to the outfit. In selecting a particular style of blouse, you can consider different shapes, fabrics or colours to find one that suits your complexion and body type. Go in ethnic or for a contemporary flavour, dump the ordinary for a more innovative and unusual style. For instance, a corset for excess length, a tube blouse for midriff exposure or a halter neck to emphasize your neck and collarbone, a strappy blouse or a backless one with long sleeves or collar on the neck would enhance your personality and the attire in totality.

Wearing a saree doesn’t really end the scrutiny there, there’s more to completing the look than just the drape. Whether the occasion is a corporate meet, a wedding or a formal event, or however you choose to drape the saree, you also need a complementing hairstyle to match it all. From a classic bun or chignon in terms of a simple style or a plait, you can choose to add embellishments from flowers to different kinds of clips for an ethnic or contemporary look. There are some women who choose to let their hair loose, for which loose curls swept to the side or waves falling over your back or shoulders can make quite a difference to your personality.

A glimmering or fancy hair accessory can add a perfect finish to your styling. For a more traditional touch, flowers work the best, however, clips with embellished flowers last long and can be used repeatedly. An eye-catching accessory on a braid at the end or on the top would look graceful too.

Sarees usually go well with high heels for those who like to appear taller than their original height. This is best decided before draping the saree, as it will impact your preferred style. If you wear your saree barefoot and then slip into heels, it may be off the ground further than you anticipated, but it doesn’t mean that you have to necessarily wear heels, you’d opt for flats too, such as Kolhapuris. Other modern-day options could be stilettos, heels with sparkle, glitter or peep toes. Be sure to paint your nails for an extra dash of colour and consider strappy sandals too. Another ethnic option is a pair of Morjaris with embroidery or beads. Whatever your choice be, ensure they’re comfortable and complement your outfit perfectly.

The Saree ensemble’s incomplete without appropriate jewellery. If you’re wearing a saree to work, be sure to wear jewellery that isn’t too flashy, while a wedding warrants decorative accessories. Neckpieces, from large statement necklaces to some subtle chains or pretty pendants, earrings that are a part of a set or independent long earring pairs that emphasize your neck, a bindi (small if you don’t wish to highlight your face or a long one to complement a bright saree), bracelets or bangles can really add up to your style quotient.
