Introduction
A simple saree look will never go wrong not because the saree is too simple but because of small details, like an inflexible drape, ill-fitted blouse and three accessories battling to get their share of spotlight. The solution is simple. Choose fabrics that flow gently and focus on one part of the saree while maintaining simplicity elsewhere. Below are five examples from Gulbhahar where this has been done effectively.
What Makes a Simple Saree Look Expensive?
An elegant drape, a single focal point and a properly fitting blouse. Color also comes into play. Expensive saree looks tend to limit themselves to one or two colors and allow the texture and border to speak. This is the reason why a minimalist saree look can work very effectively.
Does the Drape Matter More Than the Embroidery?
Yes. A saree that drapes well looks good even if it has very little work done on it. Chinon is a fine example since it is light and easily pleated. The Ivory Printed Chinon Saree has small navy floral butis with a mustard highlight on an ivory body. The wide printed border incorporates paisley and geometrical motifs without making it heavy, and the blouse has a structured front along with a deep keyhole back. When shopping for simple sarees for women, pay attention to the drape of the saree first.
How Do You Style a Simple Body With a Rich Border?
Let the border and pallu do the talking and keep the rest understated. The Festive Red Art Silk Saree is a great example. The shiny body has small floral motifs while the wide multicolour paisley border with gold toned edging and the heavily embellished pallu have the dabka, mirror, and zari style work. The fabric is soft and easily pleated. The contrasting green blouse piece has small floral buti with a paisley border to give a clean colour break. Small studs and one or two bangles are sufficient for elegant saree styling.
Can a Black Saree Look Classy?
Yes. Black is one of the easiest colors for a stylish saree, since every stitch embroidery will stand out on it. The Festive Black Art Silk Saree features scattered floral prints on the body, wide paisley border in red color, gold zari and green piping, heavy pallu with peacock design and rich zari work. Unstitched blouse fabric is also black with matching border and floral butis. Since there is enough color in the border, you can avoid a statement necklace and wear simple gold or pearl earrings.
How Can You Style a Printed Saree in a Modern Way?
Wear the light print saree with an elegant blouse and minimal accessories. The Handcrafted Fusion Chinon Saree features various colors such as maroon, teal green, navy blue, rust and cream in a classic multi-stripe print, bordered by a wide multicolor border with small sequins and mirror effect. It comes with a ready-made blouse, saving your time and providing perfect fitting. For modern saree style, try wearing a slim belt at the waist and keep the pallu pleats nicely on your shoulder.
How Do You Keep a Colourful Saree From Looking Busy?
Repeat one colour in your accessories only. The Multicoloured Art Silk Saree is based on the teal blue colour with ornamental panels running vertically, a wide border in pink, teal, cream and gold colours, and an elaborate printed pallu in pink, orange and gold colours. The blouse is unstitched and comes in rani pink colour with floral jaal print. Since there is so much going on, only one statement earring would suffice. Handmade juttis or a potli from Gulbhahar in one colour from the saree would complete the look. Sophisticated saree styles usually do not have three matching colours.
Which Small Details Make the Biggest Difference?
Sharp pleats, a well-fitting blouse and a small accessory that complements the look. Press the pleats while draping, pin the pleats in the waist and shoulder areas and tuck in the pallu for an even fall. Here are some simple saree styling tips that require no investment.
Bring the Look Together
An elegant style of saree demands simplicity mostly. Pick up a good material, give preference to a single color, the border or the pallu and keep it simple otherwise. Browse through our entire range of sarees at Gulbhahar to find that perfect one for you.
