Are you donning a Saree for the first time?


“You are what you wear”. It might not always be true but you can certainly give an impression, sometimes a different one with what you wear.

Generally, it is believed that what you wear can reflect your personality. Trying something new once in a while is mostly always fun. Have you ever thought of trying on a new attire? Something eastern, authentic and exotic? Regardless of whether you are from the East or West, Saree is an attire that can make any woman look elegant, graceful and glamorous at the same time.

A Saree is a traditional wear in the East for many reasons. Although it may look uncomfortable at first sight, it gets comfortable to wear with practice. For those wearing a Saree for the first time or playing with the idea of trying it, you should know that it can be a nice experience. The ease to wear it often depends on the fabric and type of Saree among other things. With a wide range of fabric and color options available, the selection of a Saree need to be made very sensibly. Believe it or not, among a lot of other things, your body type is an important factor to be considered when choosing the right Saree for you.

Different fabrics have different effect on the way you look. Normally, for women with weight on the higher side, a Saree made with lighter fabrics is the right choice. Materials like Chiffon and Georgette are a few examples. Similarly, for women who are thinner, Sarees made of fabrics like Cotton, Tissue and Organza are the most suitable. Shorter women can look taller with plain Sarees and borders are best avoided. Bigger borders tend to make a body look shorter.

 

When it comes to choosing the color of a Saree, your skin tone needs to be kept in mind. In fact, it is one of the major factors which can decidedly change the way you look in Saree or any other traditional Eastern attire. Different occasions call for different types of Sarees. Are you attending a function? What is the nature of function you are planning to attend in a Saree? Do you find it uncomfortably revealing?

If you have never worn a Saree before, you might be unaware that there are different ways to wrap a Saree. You can make it look more or less revealing depending on your preference. Saree is basically a rather diverse kind of attire. It can be worn in more than one occasion! However, when wrapping a Saree, you need to be very careful and use enough pins to keep things on the safer side. Lastly, accessorizing is a major part of making a Saree look good on you. The sandals, ornaments or any other accessory you decide to wear with a Saree need to match with what you are wearing.
