As the chill descends and the number of wedding invitations in your mail skyrockets, the silk sarees must emerge from the closet to fulfill their destiny. While traditional silks and synthetic sarees are the perfect choice for the winters, they’re rarely enough on their own to provide adequate warmth. This season, ditch the traditional blouse for a cozier and fashionable look by pairing sarees with your sweaters, jackets and overcoats.
The Classic Trench Sweaters
Add a trench sweater in black, brown or charcoal to instantly elevate your saree look and make it look professional and chic. Perfect for all your office needs. Classy sweaters make for a great combination and provide comfort shielding you from the cold.
The Edgy Sweater
If you want to go bold, pair your saree with a black leather jacket or blazer. Pair with matching boots and you have an uber cool outfit.
The Timeless Cardigan
The simple cardigan always comes to the rescue. Drape a scoop-neck cardigan over your shoulders, letting it hang loosely for a refined look. For a soft and retro aesthetic perfect for a day-time event, pair with pastel-coloured sarees and classic pearl accessories.
The Quilted Sweater
Now’s the time to put those block-printed ethnic jackets to use. Opt for a saree with a minimal design to make your jacket’s design truly pop.
The Fancy Coat
For a dramatic flair, pair your saree with a plush fur coat or shawl. For makeup, put on a dark red lip and you’re ready to make a statement. You could also elevate your ensemble with a structured silk overcoat. Wear it open to showcase your saree’s design or style it as a blouse, fastening the top buttons and leaving it open from the waist down.
Opulent Velvet Jacket
A velvet blouse with full sleeves or a velvet jacket will offer a rich, royal look while keeping you warm. Go for dark colours such as emerald green and burgundy for the perfect evening reception look.
The Shawl Revamp
Instead of just throwing your Pashmina shawl over your shoulders, hiding the beauty of your saree, opt for creative draping styles. You can pin the shawl beneath the pallu, offering you a layer of insulation, or pin it to the opposite shoulder for a regal, double-pallu silhouette.
Conclusion
In conclusion, by incorporating warm layers and focussing on appealing silhouettes, you no longer have to sacrifice on either style or comfort. Whether you opt for a structured ensemble or a loose and flowy style, you are now ready to face the winter head on.
