A saree is always special. The way it flows, moves and hugs you so gracefully without trying at all. It's for everyone and every body type. If you are someone who wants to get a taller, more elongated look while wearing a saree, a few styling choices can help you a lot.
Choose the Right Fabric
Fabric undoubtedly plays a big role in this. Lightweight sarees are not just comfortable, but they also fall straight and create longer lines with the body, which helps you look taller.
When you think about buying sarees, consider pure silk, georgette, jamdani, chiffon, kota silk, designer net, and cotton sarees.
At Tajore, we have a great collection of flowy saree fabric, which you can wear to opt for a slender and shapely look.
Simpler Prints
Pick up sarees that have smaller and closer prints. Vertical patterns, narrow strips, and subtle buttas are great saree prints for height, as they can help guide the eye well. It creates a perfect illusion and makes the person look taller.
Boarders
Boarders matter more than you might think. A thick, contrasting border can visually shorten the torso. While having slim borders or the same tone borders can help you blend your body better with the saree.
Draping and Wrapping the Pallu
A clean drape is always better when you wish to look taller in a saree. Neat plates, and with that, wear your pallu in small plates, creating a thinner pallu. This creates a vertical line along your torso. It looks even better if you have a thin pallu border, giving you a more elevated look.
Blouse Design
A well-fitted blouse is great for posture. Instead of long blouses, go with shorter and lower-cut blouses. Try V-necks, deep round necks, boat necks, or square neck blouses to help create a vertical line.
Always stick to the tones and balance the outfit well by opting for light blouses if your saree is a bit heavy, and vice versa.
Go Monochrome
Monochrome or near-monochrome saree styling can work wonders. Use the same color family with minimal contrast. This helps the eyes move smoothly from top to bottom.
Peticotes
Always go for a slim-fitted petticoat when you want to look taller in a saree. You can opt for an ankle length so your legs are not visible at all. A peticote gives a flowy look to the saree and makes it easier to drape.
Accessories Matter
When you want to look tall in a saree, choose longer earrings to complement it. This helps your neck look slim and elongated in the way you wish. For other jewelry pieces, opt for little and lightweight jewelry. Do not go for heavy-weight chokers that might hide your neck.
Hairstyles that work best
Don't part your hair when you are wearing a saree, as it might give a flat appearance. We recommend trying an updo or going with a puff with braids or buns, which will add height.
Right Footwear
Heels are the way to go without a debate. However, you must ensure that you do not wear heels that are too high, as they will draw attention to your heels. Wear wedges as they don't put much pressure on your heels. Ensure it remains hidden in your saree.
Conclusion
Looking tall in a saree is not about fixing anything. It's like opting for one style that makes you feel comfortable and confident in what you love.
At Tajore, sarees are made to move with you with thoughtful fabric, designs, and easy elegance, so you can always find something that speaks to you.
