A plain saree is something every woman’s wardrobe is sure to have. Like it or not we all love to go plain and sober at times and why not after all, plain sarees have not lost their place from the fashion scene. Red, blue, yellow or black, plain sarees come in various colours and can also be styled in various ways to glam it up.
From throwing in a statement neck piece to teaming it with a glamorous blouse, here are ways in which you can pep-up that otherwise boring plain saree!
1. Statement Neck Piece
A statement neckpiece can turn the table around for any attire. From bold silver, brass or gold necklaces to simple handmade ones which bring out the quirkiness in you, there are many accessories that blend seamlessly with a plain saree. You can also add in belts made up of leather, beads, and metals, to accentuate your waist.
2. Play With Blouses
Blouses are a big game changer when it comes to sarees. So play a little with them. Mirror work, fashionable cuts, patch works, sequins and heavy embroidery can totally change the look of your outfit. You could also add piping, mesh, strings or tassels to add some glamour to your blouse. Also, Blouse in Chinese collar gives you a more sophisticated and conservative look. Whereas, spaghetti strap and Black saree combination lends you a sensuous and stylish appeal. Contrasting blouses are an in thing and work perfectly for plain sarees.
3. Contrasting Petticoat
Petticoats are no longer a mere piece of garment to be worn underneath the saree. You could play with them a bit and transform how your saree looks. A plain sari with a pretty printed or laced petticoat can let you strike a whole new style statement. For instance, you can give a plain black saree a metallic twist by draping it over a sequined metallic petticoat.
4. Plain Saree with Brooch
A plain saree can be hard to manage when not pleated. So, pleat it up neatly and place a brooch to hold the pleats together. So, get old-fashioned and add some traditional charm to your plain saree with a pretty brooch.

5. Makeup With Plain Saree
Play a bit with makeup. Try and match your lipstick or eyeshadow with your saree colour for a little dramatic effect. You could also team your saree with a completely contrasting bindi or coloured kajal to let your makeup stand out and do the talking.
6. Throw On A Jacket
Plain sarees give you the scope to make use of those dressy jackets. Pick a contrasting jacket or a one that matches the border (if the saree has a border) and see how it transforms the saree. From brocade to sequin and mirror work, jackets are available in many varieties and can add that oomph factor to your look.
7. Carry A Potli
So what if your saree is simple and plain? Let your pretty potli grab all the attention. Ditch your usual clutches and opt for brocade or other printed potlis to go with your plain saree. This will not just let you set a new trend but also minimise your efforts of shopping for the right accessories or blouses.
