20 Latest Silk Blouse Saree Designs and Styling Tips

Sarees are the go-to fashion apparel for South Asian women. This timeless and ethereal fashion trend of wearing sarees has not gone out of trend and is reinforced by many Bollywood celebrities like Deepika Padukone, Anushka Sharma, and Sonam Kapoor who often wear them to formal appearances.

Silk Sarees are super elegant, especially the Kanjivaram sarees which are curated in South India. These Sarees are more manageable to style for formal occasions and can be paired with blouses that give them a modern touch to the entire outlook. Try out bold cuts and colors or go for traditional embroideries to double the beauty. Additionally, mix and match different colors or prints to create unique looks.

What Blouse To Wear With a Silk Saree?

Here are some tips to keep in mind when finding the right blouse for your Silk Saree:

• Go for a blouse that best complements your Saree. A heavily embroidered blouse will look great with a simple Banarasi saree while a minimalistic blouse would look great with a fancy one.
• If you do not mind skin show, go for low backs or fancy cuts that add gorgeous detailing to the look.
• Mix and match with colors by pairing your Saree with a contrasting color.
• Longer sleeves are a great option for petite girls looking for an elongated figure.
• Add in fancy tassels to the back for a fancy look.
• Incorporate all the recent trends with the traditional blouse with off-the-shoulders, ruffles or frills.
