How to dress up your pattu saree?

Saree is SO precious and it is one of the best things happened to Indian women, no doubt about that! Women of any size, shape, age, colour, (you name it!) look incredibly beautiful and elegant in it. It is going to be extra classy if it is a pattu (traditional silk) saree. There is a misconception amongst a lot of young adults that a silk saree makes them look older which is absolutely NOT true. It totally depends on the way you carry yourself in it. Following are some of the quick tips on how to dress up a pattu saree.

Wear it with a contrast coloured blouse

You must have probably heard it million times and don’t worry, it is still in trend and will always win over future trends. A contrast coloured blouse to a silk saree will give you a youthful look. Now there are many fancy fabrics to stitch a blouse with but it is best to opt silk blouse for silk sarees.

Go minimal with your jewellery

Traditional silk sarees are by itself super chic and “grand” so wearing minimal accessories will do the magic. A simple choker or “haram” necklace, a pair of traditional earrings, and a set of metal bangles coloured in gold or matching to your blouse should do the job! And voila! you’re ready to steal away the show.

Do not forget to experiment with pallu

A single pleat or a pleated one, both look great on every woman! If you really want to flaunt your curves, then you can always go ahead with a pleated pallu. If you want that elegant and dreamy look, then single pleat pallu is the right choice. But never stick with one style coz life is just too short!

You can always try different styles with hair and flowers

It totally depends on your comfort zone, mood and taste! The rule is to never be shy to experiment with hairstyles. Let it be loose hair, a bun, a French braid, a pony tail (you name it!), everything looks great for a traditional silk saree and that’s the beauty of it! And also, flowers add an extra traditional touch to the overall look. Jasmine flowers for loose hair and a lotus flower for a side or low bun will be a classic for sure! 

A good posture and the best attitude go exceptionally well with silk sarees

And last but not the least, it is important to possess a good posture and attitude for every day look. And it is a complete game changer for a silk saree look. So make sure you own it like never before!
