Many fashionable costumes, even from Europe and other parts of the world, came and gone in India; but the popularity of a saree never receded. Saree is supposed to be one of the most beautiful and sexiest costumes in world, though it covers most of a woman’s body. A saree can beautifully conceal the flaws in the body and highlight the best parts, and therefore Indian women, whether they are conservative or modern have stuck to sarees till date and will remain so!
However, there have been new inventions in the style of wearing a saree. The beauty of the saree lies in the fact that it can be worn in multiple ways as per your convenience and liking for fashion. Therefore, it’s quite easy for one to make innovations in the styles of its wearing. You can watch many such styles at Lalgate Fashion shop. Here are some of them.
Drape a Saree
Draping a saree properly is no less than an art and is important for looking good in the saree. As per each of the states of India, there are various styles of draping a saree, like Maharashtrian, Bengali, South Indian, North Indian, Gujarati and more. There are also some more ways like Butterfly, Mermaid, and more. But the most popular among these is the Nivi style and it’s commonly used by far by women all over the country.
Another important thing to consider is you will also have to have a matching blouse and petticoat, and not just a saree. You have to wear first these two elements and then drape the saree around them. Here’s a useful video that will demonstrate you how to drape a saree in a Nivi style.
Choose the Right Fabric
As a saree is plainly a piece of cloth and can be worn to hide flaws of your body, a woman of any body shape can wear it comfortably. However, the fabric of the saree should be chosen carefully so as to accentuate the strong points of your looks. For example, fabrics like chiffon, georgette and other sheer fabrics cling to your body and can be best for a curvy figure, while fabrics like cotton and organza are perfect for ultra-thin figures. Weighty figures on the other hand should choose fabrics like silk and satin which cling to your body, but don’t show curves; instead they create a slimmer look.
Prints and Colors
These largely depend on one’s personal choice. Still, a general rule about colors is that light shades are for any complexion, while dark shades are more apt for lighter complexion. There are simply innumerable patterns of prints or embroideries, borders, design of pallu (the part of a saree which is to be set lose over the shoulder) etc that women can be spoiled for choice.
