Creative ways to style your sarees this winter

We have often seen our grandmothers and aunts styling a saree with their sweater, which looks quite boring and, honestly, way outdated. As the wedding season is upon us and we need to flaunt our stylish sarees, it is also important to look aligned with the weather and stay safe by styling a cosy winter piece which exudes a modish finish with an ethnic edge. So, let’s find the answer to how to style a saree in winter, as we have 5 looks waiting.

2/6

Fitted sweater as a blouse

If you wish to flaunt your pallu design and border detailing, then switch your blouse show and instead opt for a practical, subtle-looking sweater which matches your stunning saree. You can choose a high-neckline or crew-neckline fitted, sleek, plain sweater, which can easily be tucked into the saree petticoat and create a seamless look. Style your saree over it, and you’re ready to go.

Sweater over the saree fit

To create a bold and blended look, opt for a blazer-style warm look that exudes an elite grace when teamed with your drape. You can flaunt the end of your pallu from the back, which has become yet another popular way of styling this season. Thanks to the Parliament looks of actress Kangana Ranaut, who made this ethnic winter trend into a boss-lady aesthetic, making it perfect for winter.

Customised velvet charm

The velvet silhouette has become the epitome of luxury in the market and is usually warmer than the other common silhouettes, like silk and cotton. This makes it a perfect fit for winter styling. If you’re attending a wedding and wish to create a unique overall ethnic look, then opt for a customised blazer-sweater-style velvet jacket, which complements both traditional and contemporary saree fits.

Stylish woollen coats are for the win

Who says one cannot pair long woollen trench coats with your statement drapes? This saree style is often carried by our mothers, who eventually made it come back in trend this year. Simply drape your saree and opt for a stylish woollen trench coat, which keeps you warm and adds a rustic elegance, making everything look better and fashionable. You can also throw in a stylish woollen scarf and make it a perfect contemporary pick.

Time to take out the leather jacket

If you wish to create a traditional-baddie aesthetic, then bring out the leather jackets, which are known to infuse a modern and edgy vibe into your ethnic outfit. This unconventional pairing looks like a statement and creates the perfect contemporary look. You can simply drape your saree and seal the deal with a matte-finish black or brown leather jacket, which lends the right amount of edge.
