Get that Chic Look in Saree
Being stylish was always in fashion. Now you can too can get a chic look and for that you need not wear short tank tops or hip-hugging jeans. You can do it with a saree!
Choose a saree that has sombre colors such as light brown, light pink, peach, off-white, gray etc. Light colors give you youthfulness. Deep colors make you look mature and serious. If you are going for an evening party, avoid wearing deep colors such as maroon, red, dark blue, deep purple etc.
It is better if the design on your saree is not too bright or bold. For example, avoid big red glittering flowers or bold, thick designs. Instead, go for light embroidery. Some people think that bright colors draw people's attention. They are right. It does, but not on you. It draws attention to your saree, not on you. YOU should look good in what you wear, the saree alone shouldn't look good. Also, avoid excess glitter.
If you are heavy, then pick up a saree which has a good fall. It will snug up to your body, making you look slim. You can try modern styles of draping a saree such as Celebrity style, Cross Neck style, Stylish Look, V Neck Style etc. You wil find them in this website or you can order our DVD on saree draping ways.
Always remember to drape the saree around your body tightly. See to it that the fabric of the saree does not hang around loosely around your legs. And don't drape it too tightly, otherwise you won't be able to walk.
Tuck the pleats exactly below your navel. As you walk they should flutter. Pin them up from the inside to make them stay in place.
You can sport high heals with a saree, and nobody will ever know that you are wearing such high heels. Your saree will hide them. Get on with that catwalk of yours.
If you are fond of jewellery, then you can surely wear that pearl set of yours or your diamond necklace. Jewellery made from wood, terricota, shell etc. are in fashion nowadays. Get rid of your heavy gold ornaments and get a sleek and stylish jewellery set for yourself.
Saree blouse does make a lot of difference to the way you look. If you generally wear saree in the ulta pallu style, then you can choose a blouse which has a decorative back. There can be work on the sleeves and the waistline. You can also get designer blouses which have designs all over the blouse. To get a sensual look, you can go for spaghetti, halter neck, sleeveless or high neck blouses.
Light makeup goes very well with saree. Use your blusher, compact, eyeliner and lipstick. That is more than enough. You don't want to overdo it. Use light shades of lipstick and subtle glitter for a modern look. Don't use a matching eyeshadow. Instead, use silver or gold eyeshadow, whichever one will match with the work on your saree.
Now comes the harido. You can leave your hair open or tie half of them high on your head in a bun. Leave the rest of them open. If you are young, then you can tie all your hair in a neat, tight bun. If you are middle aged, then avoid that. You can get your hair curled or use a hair straightner, whichever you like.
Get the look you want.
