Elegance of Formal Sarees

In India, is there any occasion when you cannot wear a saree?! When ethnic wear is concerned, women love to splurge in every different kind of sarees for every occasion. A saree is one of the most sorted outfits and looks significant even at formal business meetings, conferences and daily office wear. The elegance and sophistication that a saree gives is incomparable to any other ethnic outfit, making it perfect for office wear. And the options are not limited for formal sarees too. Let’s take a look at some inspirational daily wear sarees that set a perfect example for Indian power dressing.

Formal sarees look very different from the informal sarees. They come in a variety of handloom fabrics like silks, chanderis, jute, khadi and so on but what’s best for the summers are the cool cottons. Formal sarees are mostly neutral shaded like beige, navy blue, white, black, tan and such. These muted and sober shades look very simple, focused and understated creating a very professional look.

Apart from plain formal sarees, there are endless varieties of prints and embroidery to experiment from. Sober floral prints, geometric prints like chevrons, checkered prints and polka dots look best on formal sarees. Embroidery like minimal thread work, French knots is done at the pallu, borders or on blouses. Or applying simple dyeing techniques like ombre, color block shades or contrast borders work wonders. There is so much more to experiment in formal sarees that makes work wear so much more interesting than you can even imagine.

And most of all, like we always say, the whole concept of the saree is dependent on the saree blouse. When you wear a high neck or any modest blouse with your simple daily wear sarees, they element immense sophistication and let you show off your work wear with great style and confidence.  So, always ensure you choose the right blouse design for you work wear sarees.

Accessorize your formal sarees wisely because they play a vital role in completing your formal look. Dull antique neckpieces, silver jhumkas, kadas are best options when it comes to formal jewellery. You can also team up your saree with comfortable kolhapuris, juttis, wedges or even leather footwear and handbags to finish off your formal look beautifully.
