Reinventing Classic Sarees with New Pairings

Versatile, timeless, stylish- salute the glorious Indian saree!  From dawn to dusk, sarees are not just reserved for traditional days in this age and time but also off-duty adventures. Being a millennial, I’ve always thought of wearing sarees with a fresh perspective. Pairing them with off-beat bustiers and layers, crisp shirts and cigarette pants or even denim, there are ample ways to play around! Whether you’ve mastered pleating skills or no, the six yards can get a hold of your style no matter how you wrap them around. To serve you some inspiration here’s a lookbook with off-beat pairings to reinvent these classic charmers. 

Chic meets Couture

Nothing bewitching than an embellished black saree! If you’re a bonafide fashionista, this look will reaffirm your status. Make a lasting impression amidst the sea of pastels in a sultry black saree by Nakul Sen . Up the ante with this cutout detailed crop top by Disha Kahai . We’re reserving this glam-oozing look for a cocktail hour. 

Old World Charm

If quaint charming appeal describes your personality, you’ll pull this off like a retro diva. Romance with the floral ornate of this chanderi saree by Torani and flirt a little more with the pussy bow neck tie accented blouse from Tara and I . Hosting a festive luncheon? Go on, make a lasting impression with this retro pairing. 

Bridesmaid In Spotlight 

Walking down the aisle with your bride best friend needs to have a show-stopping impact. To share the spotlight, complement her glory and lead the bridesmaid entourage, doll up in this stunning ruffle-accented saree from Vvani by Vani Vats. Add a  dash of eye-pleasing charm clubbing it with a corset top by Manish Arora and you’ll certainly be declared as the beauty of the baraat. 

Print Pairings 

Wish to wear saree with a clash of desi and sassy? Polished, practical and oh-so-chic- breezy printed sarees are a must-have for any occasion. This wispy printed saree by Varun Bahl paired with the crop-top-cape duo by Three Piece Company is the perfect formula to exhibit refined elan at dinner soirée.
