Saree styles in 18 different ways!

Whether you’re a teenager or a married woman, a sari is sure to make you look graceful and gorgeous. While we usually stick to our mother’s style of wearing it, there are numerous other ways to style it. As a fashion-forward woman, why stick to same old rules?
It’s time to break the rules! Here are 18 sari-draping ideas for your next function. You’re welcome!


1. Belt and Sari
Add a belt to your sari to make it stand out. Sounds strange? Why not try a metallic belt/ formal belt or your grandmom’s heritage kamarpatta—both are sure to get you noticed.

2. Off-Shoulder Sari
This trend is not just for your tops and tees, but for the sari too. Drape the pallu on your shoulder and pair with a designer ruffled or Chinese-collar blouse or an off- shoulder blouse.

3. Retro Bollywood Sari
Take inspiration from yesteryear’s fashion icon Mumtaz and try this style for your upcoming event. Wear a cropped blouse and gajara for a retro touch.

4. Gujarati Twist Sari  
The next time your mother asks you to try the ‘Gujarati’ style of sari-drapping, put your own modern twist to it. Wear a long pallu and a classic blouse, and see it turn from conventional to contemporary

5. Cross Wrap Sari   
Get a full-sleeved blouse stitched from your local tailor and wear your regular printed sari in this cross-wrap style. You just turned into a style icon without spending on a designer outfit.

6. Neck Drape Sari    
Just like you’d wear your scarf, try draping your sari around your neck. Without spending a single penny, your regular sari got way more fun. Wear a quirky blouse and complete the look.

7. Blouse/Jacket Over Sari     
We love how designers combine Western and Indian styles together. Wear your blouse or a traditional jacket above your sari and enjoy a host of compliments coming your way. Experiment with ribbons, embellishments, textures of materials, net and even metallic motifs.

8. Reverse Sari
Show off your fashionable side with this reverse style of draping the sari. Ensure that your blouse is well-fitted and has prints or patterns, and wear your hair in a bun or brushed back in a sleek manner to flaunt your sari style.

9. Knot your Sari  
The knot on the sari has been seen in several designer collections. Instead of draping your pallu the normal way, knot it at the waist or at the ends.

10. Kurta or corset with saree  
Team up the saree with a sleeveless corset or any contrast kurta and see the difference in look. Psst .. it also hides away the extra fat at your waist.

11. Peplum Sari  
Drape your sari and the pallu across your waist or from behind inspired by the Gujrati style. Confused? Yes, we’re talking about the sari, it could also be a saree inspired ready- made gown.  It looks trendy and you can wear your favourite top or a peplum blouse. Pair with a cool belt and minimal jewellery.
