But wearing a sari in the winter season becomes very troublesome, yet some women like sari so much that they refuse to give it. If you are a saree loving lady, then we have some great tips and ideas that will help you to rapidly enhance your saree appearance with ease. Use these simple and easy tips to style your sarees like a diva this winter season without getting chill or panicky.
Style your saree with a long overcoat
Tie a long overcoat in an evergreen shade, such as black, white, brown, or the color that best suits your saree to create an elegant and trendy effect. This is because both sarees and overcoats create the illusion of length, making you appear taller than thicker. So, drape your saree, pin it up and finish it off with an attractive topknot. To add more elegance to your outfit, you can use a belt to cinch into your waist or add a simple brooch to go with it.
Opt for a T-shirt instead of a blouse
Another great way to beat the cold while wearing a sari is to replace the blouse with a full-sleeved T-shirt for a more casual look. Drape your sari, pleats, then wear your thermals and a solid t-shirt that complements your sari. Lastly, make big plaits on the pallu and add a traditional waist-band or a trendy belt to instantly enhance your appearance.
Drape the saree with anarkali kurta
You can pair your saree with a solid neutral anarkali kurta which may look like an unusual combo. When you have finished wrapping and plating your saree, wear your kurta over the layers, then suspend the pallu loosely and carry it over the shoulder. It will look incredibly stylish and distinctive, and will undoubtedly attract a lot of attention to you. If you want to take this style to the next level, add oxidized jewelery and an artfully draped scarf around your head. An open front anarkali can also be worn over a saree for a unique aesthetic.
Style your saree with an ethnic, denim or leather jacket or blazer
Pair the saree with ethnic jackets of your choice. If you are feeling cold, drape your saree as normal and wear a skin-coloured thermal underneath. Then, before putting on your pallu, put on your ethnic jacket and pin the pallu to the jacket by taking it from the top of the chest to the shoulders. To elevate your style, button up the jacket and add some stylish jewellery. Surely this outfit will keep you looking stylish as well as warm and comfy. Also, for a casual dinner or lunch with friends, wear your saree with a denim jacket, and for a more glamorous vibe, you can add a leather jacket to your ensemble.
Style it with a High Neck Blouse
However, this method will only work in mild winters or if you are not very cold. The idea is to make a high-neck blouse and instruct the tailor to leave at least an inch of space under it so you can wear a light thermal or skin-tight sweater and voila! You will be ready to go cold and make heads turn with your extraordinary fashion sense. You can also wear a beautiful pashmina shawl or silk dupatta with your saree like any other pallu. You can also wear a cape to complete your outfit. Shawls and silk dupattas are the traditional ways to dress up a saree in winter.
