  • Grab the latest trend set by Anushka Sharma at her wedding reception. She accessorized her lehenga with a self-coloured belt. You can rock the look with some exclusive belts available online. Another way of draping a saree is like the mekhela chador, which has two pieces: the bottom is worn like a sarong with pleats in the front whereas one end of the upper garment is tucked to the left side of the waist in a triangle and the other end is thrown over the shoulder like a shawl. All you need for this look is a statement belt to clinch your waist. It adds a modern and edgy flair to the average saree look.

  • You can drape your saree in retro styled manner. This style was made famous by actor Mumtaz, and is a great party look if you love a sexy chiffon saree with a blingy border. Complete this look with a high ponytail or a sleek bun.

  • If your saree has a heavy pallu and you want to show it off, you can wear your saree like the Gujuartis, they have their pallu to the front. You can keep the pallu to your waist or let it flow till your knees for a fresh look.

  • The nauvari saree style from Maharashtra is for the nine yard saree. If you have a nine yard saree, drape it the nauvari way.

  • One of the toughest styles to drape, is the Madisaru style. It does not require the use of a blouse or a petticoat. It follows the ardhanareeshwara style of draping, meaning half man and half woman; the lower half is draped like a dhoti while the upper half is pleated like a saree.

  • Finally, you can drape the pallu of your saree like a scarf around your neck for some fashionista feels.
