Styling A Saree
A Saree is a pride for every woman to flaunt. Along with beautiful Saree styles, Limeroad also brings to you some tips on draping them for an optimum flamboyance.
- Are you someone who's never donned a saree before? For every woman starting her Saree spree, the most obvious draping style to go for is the Nivi Saree draping style. With the palla taken across the left shoulder, this is a generic style of draping that can be customised with accessories like brooches, Kamarbandhs, etc.
- When going for a Bengali Saree, the Bengalis are precise about styling it too! A typical Bengali style of draping is by taking the Palla over the right shoulder from the back, and then pinning its end to the left shoulder over the chest. This highlights the exquisite work on the Palla and broad borders. Go full Bong style with heavy Kangans and an Opera Necklace.
- Another similar fashion is that of the Gujarati Saree style. However, rather than pinning the corner, the palla is pinned to the other shoulder, letting it exhibit across the entire torso. This style of draping gives a more subtle and mature look to the wearer.
- With all trends constantly evolving, why should the Saree regime hold back? As a more contemporary look is picking up its pace on the fashion ramp, people dig the authentic beauty of sarees draped in a breezy fashion. One such style is achieved by taking the Palla from the back to the front, instead of front to back. This gives the saree the flair of a Lehenga and accentuates both the borders as well as the Palla of the saree. Pair the style with classy chandelier drop earrings and a unique bun and steal the show!
So start your Saree collection now, and Limeroad will deck it up with the best of styles available! These Sarees are treasures to hold close to the heart for years on end, because a Saree is the epitome of authenticity, and is woven accordingly. And we all know, be it a simple day out with family, or the much awaited Diwali Season, a woman can just never get enough of Sarees!
