Unlike fashion trends that suit only a particular body type, sarees are for everyone. You just need to learn to pick the perfect one for your body type.
Let us guide you with tips to select a saree that’s perfect for your body type.
Women with a defined waist and proportionate bust and hips fall under this category. Sarees help them define their natural curves and they can easily pull off georgette, net or printed chiffon sarees with ease. However, avoid wearing sarees and blouses with heavy embellishments. Opt for delicate and minimal embroidery in your sarees. Also, opt for dark colour sarees. It will enhance your overall look.
If you are small and slim, wear sarees with thin borders. Avoid wearing solid plain sarees. They will make you look smaller. Opt for sarees with defined prints and heavy embroidery. Be smart with the blouse pattern and leave the back bare if you could. It will add a style quotient and also give you the appeal of being taller. Choose colours like brown, red and grey while choosing your printed party wear sarees.
It’s never too late, but you are missing on some serious fashion fun if you haven’t styled sarees despite having drooling height. Tall women could ace sarees like no one- look at Deepika Padukone or Katrina Kaif for instance. They look drop-dead gorgeous when their stylist styles them in sarees. Stay away from clingy fabrics. That’s all. You can ace everything from heavy embroidered sarees with heavy borders to simplistic cotton sarees with vivacious large prints. Just go and drape a saree for the day.
If your bust and stomach are heavier than your hips, stay away from the net. Choose longer blouses and sarees with embroidery. Silk sarees when draped nicely would look phenomenal on you.
Ladies with heavy hip section and the comparatively smaller bust area falls in this category. Georgette printed sarees and chiffon sarees in bright, pastel shades are a perfect pick for you. Avoid heavy prints as they tend to gather attention. Be wise with your colour and fabric choice, the rest will fall into place.
Women with bulky figures should pick silk and heavy chiffon sarees that don’t bulk up. Avoid stiff fabrics as they would make you look bulkier. Again dark and bold colours are your best friends when paired with tiny prints and light embroidery. Draping matters a lot and how you decide to drape your saree would decide the final outlook of the saree.
Sarees are meant to enhance the curves of your body- That’s the beauty of sarees. Skinny figures should avoid clingy fabrics like chiffon. Instead, heavier weaves of georgette, Kota silk and Banarasi sarees are perfect for you. Pick either pale or bright colour tones and nothing medium in between while picking a saree colour.
