Easy ways to give new look to old sarees
Women have a large collection of sarees in their wardrobe. Many times, sarees bought for special occasions are put back in the closet after wearing them once or twice. Next time when the time of festival or party comes, there is a desire to wear a new saree, and the old sarees are left lying around.
But you do not need to buy a new saree this festival season. You can give a fresh look to your old sarees with a little change and new style. The special thing is that you will not need to spend much for this. Let us know some simple and trendy ways to restyle the saree.
1. Wear saree with shirt or top
If you want to try something new away from the traditional saree look, then you can wear a shirt or stylish top instead of blouse. A white cotton shirt will look gorgeous with a simple silk saree. At the same time, a satin button-down shirt can give an Indo-western look to the saree.
In winter, you can also pair the saree with a high neck or turtle neck top. This style is a great option for Diwali party.
2. Give stylish look with waist belt
Waist belt is a great option to give a new look to the saree. Wear your saree normally and make the pleats of the pallu properly. Then apply a belt of matching or contrasting color to the saree on the waist.
This small accessory can make your look attractive. Also, with the help of belt, it becomes easier to handle the saree. You can choose from metal, fabric or embroidered belts.
3. Pair with a jacket, cape or shrug
If you want to look something different and royal this time, then try wearing a jacket, cape or shrug with the old saree. Wearing a long embroidered jacket, cropped jacket or peplum jacket can give you a great Indo-western look.
You can also style the saree with a blazer jacket. Just make sure the jacket fits well and the color matches the saree or creates a beautiful contrast.
4. Create Indo-Western look with pant style saree
If you want style along with comfort in saree, then you can try pant style draping. For this, wear fitted pants or leggings instead of petticoat. Then tuck the saree at the waist and set the pallu in your favorite style.
If you want, you can keep the pallu open or make pleats and pin it on the shoulder. In this way your old saree will be transformed into a new and modern outfit.
5. Get a royal look with double pallu style
If you want to look royal and elegant at any special party or festival, then you can try double pallu style. First wear a saree in a normal way. Then drape the second saree or dupatta in a different style and set it on the shoulders and in the front.
You can also drape the second saree in Gujarati style. This will add layering and a beautiful festive touch to your outfit. However, the fabric in this style can be a bit much, so choose the draping according to your height and comfort.
