Pattu sarees are love. They make you transform from the girl next door to royalty in moments. Still don’t believe me? Come on, Haven’t you watched Devasena in Bahubali yet? All her pattu sarees gave us #goals, didn’t they? Now, it’s all fun to wear pattu sarees when you’re as tall as Sonam Kapoor or Deepika Padukone. But what if you’re petite? Well, Here is a guide on how to wear them!
1. Go with subtle prints
Rule number one, never go for bulky printed sarees if you’re petite. They will not only look gaudy, but will also look odd on you. Since the prints are big, they overwhelm you and make you look even shorter and smaller. So try wearing things with no prints or small prints. Also, Take care of the borders. Some borders are big and beautiful. But unfortunately, these aren’t for the petite people. Therefore ladies, stay away from the big borders. They will cut inches off your height and will make you look odd. So try to stick to the borders of bright colors which are small.
2. Choose the right material
In pattu sarees, you have a wide variety to choose from. Shining them is easy if you choose the right material. Make sure you take the lightest of the materials. Since you don’t have those extra inches, the hefty materials may weigh you down and make you look uncomfortable. Therefore, lighter materials for the win!
3. Pay attention to blouse
To add that oomph factor to your traditional south Indian outfit, you’ll need to pay some attention to the type of blouse you’re wearing with the saree. Don’t go for the long sleeved blouse, try halter necks or sleeveless blouses to balance your look out and look all put together. Alternatively, you can also try the t-shirt blouses, which will help you nail the perfect indo-western look!
Along with these three main tips, pay attention to your jewelry and makeup. Don’t go for chokers. Instead of them, go for long necklaces, which will make your upper body and neck look longer. Wear long chandelier earrings and balance your makeup according to your outfit. Now you’re good to go, ladies!
