Different Ways to Play Stylish with Sarees

When it comes to draping a saree, one can take than six yards of fabric and turn it around into an ensemble which reflects tradition, vogue and fusion.

We know it can sometimes feel monotonous to drape the same saree in the way, which is why, below are some tips and hacks on how you can game up your saree game in very simple ways.

Glam up with Some Jewels

A basic saree cannot be worn for a special occasion, is nothing but a misconception. In fact, these days basic sarees are killing the game, by taking simplicity and elegance to a whole new level. All you need to do to glam up a basic/solid saree is to pair it with the right jewellery. You can add a choker, a pair of earrings and a beautiful kamarbandh and see how it elevates your entire look.

Layer It with a Jacket

Another fusion way to wear a saree these days is to wear it with a jacket. Adding a jacket to your saree would give it that edgy twist and make you stand out in the crowd. If you’re wearing a heavy saree, then you can go for a solid jacket to balance the look.

For a simple saree, go for a jacket which is either edgy in its style, like a collared, fancy fabric or a cape jacket which has some heavy embroidery on it.

Play It Quirky with a Saree Gown

Well, if you’re someone who loves the look of a saree but do not want to get stuck in tucking the pleats and worrying about them coming off, then opt for a saree gown. A saree gown is a semi-stitched saree which needs to be worn as a gown but gives a look of a saree, a modern way of wearing a saree which is comfortable and breathable. Nowadays it comes in different fabric and various designs, giving it a completely Indo Western feel and look.

Drape It in Different Ways

A saree is a piece of cloth which is six metres long and there is so much you can do with it. A saree is draped in so many different ways in different parts of the country itself and now there are even more fusion styles of draping a saree.

Even if you wear the same saree time and again but play around with its draping style, then you’d feel different and look different with every style. You can depend upon the occasion, the style and fabric of your saree and your mood choose between various draping styles like a dhoti style saree, Gujarati style, Bengali style and so much more.

Bonus Tip: Things to Keep in Mind When Shopping in the Sale

Well, when it comes to online shopping, we know that there are so many sites to visit and so many options to choose from and almost everywhere you will see them at competitive prices. Here are some things that you should keep in mind when shopping online in the sale season:

  • Compare the prices: As we said, there are so many portals out there and you’ll find the same brands selling at different portals and every portal has some discount offer going of their own beyond the discount which the brand has to offer. So do your thorough research, compare the prices and then buy it from the website which is offering you the best price of them all.

  • Set a budget: So many tempting options may result in you overspending on the saree, so make sure you set your budget, at least an upper limit and stick to it. Also, while buying a saree in a budget, you can actually play smart and invest in a saree which you can use in multiple ways and suits different occasions.

  • Quality of the saree: Now, we know a saree is all about the touch and feel of the fabric first and the styling later. Mostly, all the products would look great on the website’s catalogues. So make sure you read the details of the product - check the fabric it is made up of, colour description, whether the blouse is a part of it or not and similar details. This would save you the trouble of being disappointed on delivery of the product and also the hassle of exchanging the product for another one.

Now that you know everything about buying, wearing and styling a saree, take that traditional saree that you own and create a completely new version of it which speaks volume about you and your style.
