How to choose accessories for saree? Stylings Tips on ways to accessorize a saree

- First decide what kind of a look you are going for. A traditional saree look  or a very contemporary saree look. 

- For a traditional silk saree look  it is best to keep things classic with a vintage appeal. An elegant cut blouse and jewellery from your mom or grand mothers wardrobe can actually help you stand out. Bindis, mogra flowers, saree belts all work well with silks. Kundan jewellery and temple jewellery teams beautifully with traditional silk  sarees

- For a more contemporary designer saree look you need to keep styling crisp and simple with just one or two stand out pieces. You can go try a new drape and play with statement neck pieces or some funky earrings. In this older post I have listed 10 new ways to drape a saree. 

- Oxidized silver jewellery may not look very nice with heavy tarditonal silk sarees so it better to pair with handloom sarees. Even kasavu sarees with darker toned blouses can carry off oxidised ewellery nicely.

Wearing waist belts with saree isnt a new trend . Saree waist belt chains also known as kamarbands have been a part of our ethic saree drapes for ages.

Adding a normal belt to your frontal drape saree is the easiest way to get the belted saree look. You dont have to experiment much here and a normal saree with a thin leather or metallic belt can do the trick.

12 Fun and Exciting Ways to Style Your Plain Saree

Indian women love their sarees but these days it is all about flaunting designer blouses and unconventional drapes more than sarees. If you really want your designer blouses with heavy work to attract all the limelight it is best to pair them with plain sarees.

Plain sarees were hot in trend in 80's but the trend faded with time and like all major trends the Plain saree trend has made a comeback. Many celebrities have been spotted in plain sarees paired with extravagant designer blouses. The thing with plain sarees is that you can easily dress up or down depending on the occasion or event and you have ample space to experiment and get creative with styling ideas. You can flaunt a plain saree to work, to a brunch date or even to a wedding with appropriate styling and accessorizing.

 Here I bring to you some Fun and exciting ways to flaunt your plain saree.

#1 Pair your Plain Saree with embellished high neck blouse

High neck blouse designs are in vouge these days and there isnt a better way to style them than to pair with a plain saree. Kareena Kapoor pairs a simple white saree with gold border with this fully embellished fun high neck blouse. High neck blouse means you have freedom to experiment with the saree drape without looking trashy and this minimalistic drape draws entire attention to the innovative blouse.

#2 Add a extravagant waist belt or kamar bandh

So you have a wedding reception to attend and cant figure out what to wear. Want something easy breezy yet wedding appropriate? Try pairing your plain saree with an embellished blouse and add a kamarbandh for added glam and a more defined look. Get experimental with your choice of waist belt and dont go for the traditional ones, try metallic studded belts or pearl classic ones for a indo western feel to your saree look.

#3 Spice up your simple saree look with jewellery

If you have an opulent rani haar sitting pretty in your stash its time to flaunt it. Pair your simple plain saree with an equally simple blouse and go over board with accessories. A plain saree is perfect canvas to show off your heavy jewellery and you wont even look like trying too hard. With jewellery I mean any kind of jewelry, you dont have to stick to earrings and neck piece. Explore your experimental side and pair your simple saree with a tika, matha patti, jhumkas, arm bands, palm cuffs and even modern statement neck pieces. Oxidized silver jewellery and tribal necklaces add a very cultural touch to your saree look so try them with plain sarees also.

#4 Get glammy with Pant style drape

Unconventional saree drapes are nice way to modernise a saree look. Pant style saree drape will look amazing with a plain saree but make sure you pair your saree with an embellished or embroidered pant for a more festive look. If you want to really pair a plain pant with plain saree then go in for contrasting colours for a more visually appealing look.

#5 Pair with a kitschy quirky blouse

Quirky prints are so in trend and you can try these prints even with a traditional saree look. Get a blouse stitched in a kitschy print and grab all attention at an event the effortless way.

#6 Embrace floral prints

 I love floral prints and it is good to see designers bring in different kinds of vibrant florals in ethnic wear. For a summery day look team your plain saree with a floral printed blouse.

#7 Team plain saree with a printed blouse

The simplest way to flaunt a plain saree is to wear it with a printed blouse. Go for vibrant prints with your saree for a popping look.

#8 Flaunt your Back with designer blouses

Plain sarees are a nice way to show off your back. Hunt down that designer blouse with a sexy back design from your wardrobe and pair it with your plain saree and dont forgt to pull your into a bun or sweep it to the side.

#9 Play with jackets
 

Adding a silk or an embellished jacket to your plain saree is good idea for a winter wedding look. You can even add a blazer for a streamlined office look.

#10 Cape it 

Cape trend is super hot at the moment and many celebrities are doing the sheer capes on saris. You can also try this trend with plain sarees. Add a sheer cape to your saree for a chic diva look

#11 Show some love to pearls

Pearls are classic but women dont pair them with saris these days. Plain sarees will look great with pearls and Sonam Kapoor totally nails this mint saree look accessorized with pearl jewellery.

You can even go for pearl embellished blouse with your plain saree but make sure the saree colour complement pearls nicely.

#12 Add a pinafore

This is strictly for crazy experimental kinds. You can add more drama to a plain saree look by adding a contrasting pinfore. The pinafore can act like a cover up and can also have funky prints for more sash. Try this if you really want to wear a saree and hide your belly fat.
