How to Mix and Match Sari and Blouse?
Finding a suitable blouse for your sari is never a fashion choice. It is an art that reflects your personality and simultaneously makes some jaws drop on the floor. The six yards of elegance can become more meaningful when teamed up with a perfect blouse. But how to find that “perfect” – here are some tips to make the task easy for the sari-lovers.
Eye-conic in Classic
What can beat the time-tested classic contrast of a red blouse and white sari? If you cannot think of anything, pair your monochromatic solid-shade saree with a vibrant Readymade blouse of a contrasting color. It implies that your yellow cotton sari will make a lovely pair with a blue silk blouse. Classic doesn’t mean boring, but it means tweaking a bit with the contrast, and you get your fashion statement to stand out.
Vibrance in Monochrome
Multiple times, you might have decided to put on your maroon sari with a maroon blouse and then took a step back, thinking that it does not look eye-catching. You only need wise accessorizing to give your monochromatic look a pop. Ethnic jewelry, chunky silver neck-pieces, statement jewelry, off-bit, and quirky earrings, belts, and handbags will complement your look and will add that additional spice that you were looking for.
Play with patterns
If you are someone who prefers bold over dainty, then mixing and matching patterns will be your thing. How about ditching the classic contrast for something fun? Your solid-color sari will look stunning if teamed up with a zaridar blouse. A blouse with embellishment, a designer blouse, or an ikkat printed blouse can also be a suitable match. The best part of this combination is that you dazzle while reflecting your personality through your attire. But, hey, remember to consider the palette!
Vintage Vibe
Are you trying to pass off one of your simple saris as party wear for an after-office party? Here is a tip that might come in handy. Raid your mother’s closet for an embroidered blouse that promotes your cotton sari, which you can elegantly wear and be the gorgeous diva at the party. Try ikkat blouses and accessories to add a vintage vibe, captivating everyone’s attention. After all, old is gold!
Fusion is Fun
If you are someone who isn’t afraid to channel the quirkiness in you, then detouring from the traditional sari-blouse match can be a perfect thing to try out! Wear a cotton jacket or collared blouse with your khadi cotton sari. The casual touch to your traditional wear will not only give you a chic look, but the fusion look will also snatch the spotlight for you.
How about some more contrast?
Wait, it’s not the end! Why limit only to creating teams of contrasting colors and patterns? You can also make lovely contrasting materials, like silk and handloom, cotton and Jamdani, silk and ikkat, and Tant with silk or zaridar. The possibility is endless and is open to your imagination.
While these were some necessary tips for you to mix and match your sari with the blouse, let’s not underestimate the fun of versatility in your styling that can make you a trendsetter. You can confidently wear a mismatched blouse with your saree and let your uniqueness do the talking.
