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.

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.

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.

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.
