TG LIFE
The festive season is soon approaching and the crazy hunt for lehengas, palazzos, anarkalis etc is about to begin. If you are planning to get your 6 yards out from the ward robe but yet to confirm if you have already tried it during one of the family ocassions, here is a way out. Try these flattering and trendy draping styles which might give a new look to the earlier worn sarees for the season.
Belt Style
Drape the saree the normal way and just add a belt that cinches your pallu at the waist. A kamarbhandh might give a more traditional look to it. A statement blouse like an off-shoulder would definitely add some zing to your outfit.
Dhoti Style
This offbeat look would definitely render you the show stopper of the night. All you have to do is wear a legging instead of a petticoat for better draping purposes. The style might look a bit tricky but here is a link that should help https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0WsMW0lo1M
Neck Drape Style
All you got to do is wrap the pallu around your neck like a scarf. You’ll have to keep the length of your pallu longer to achieve this style. You can even experiment with as many scarf styles as you like.
Mumtaz Style
Channel in some retro vibes during one of those navratri special get togethers. If you remember Mumtaz’s epic saree draping style from Ram Aur Shyaam, then this is going to be easy. The secret to achieving this style lies in the layering of the saree.
Mermaid Style
This style of draping spreads out the lower part of the pleats, which in turn, look like the tail of a mermaid. The drape might look like a lot of work, but it only requires a few extra tucks and pleats.
Pant Style
It’s easy, it’s comfortable, it’s functional and it’s super chic. It might just be the right style for the next wedding or any family ocassions.
Butterfly Style
This draping style is not only stylish, but it also makes you look slimmer. All you got to do is make extra thin pleats of your pallu and pin it on your shoulders.
Lehenga Style
Why indulge yourself in buying an expensive lehenga, when you can drape one from your saree? The lehenga style drape is pretty easy to ace as all you have to do is keep pleating the whole 6-9 yards. Of course, with some left for the pallu.
Front Pallu Style
This one’s got to be the most easiest one. Instead of carrying over the pallu to your left shoulder, you carry it from the back to your right shoulder. While the Gujarati style involves spreading out of the pleats, you can choose not to as well.
Pre-stitched Gown Style
If you really want to slay this style, you need to have a blouse that is absolutely killer. Sequined, net, jacket-style or peplum-style, for the pre-stitched gown style, you can experiment with your blouse as much as you want.
