An old silk saree looks much more beautiful than the new ones. If you have an old silk saree and do not know how to style it for the present day occasions, then don’t worry.
Here are some styling tips for women who want to wear their mother’s, or their own old silk sarees –
1. Contrast Blouse
If you have a bright colored old silk saree, just try and find a contrast colored blouse for it. The two different colors are sure to gel well and look amazing when worn together. For example, if you have a black silk saree, wear a green colored blouse with it. If your saree is purple colored, team it with a pink colored blouse. Find two very different color contrasts to make the look appealing.
2. Closed Neck Blouse
Closed neck blosues were a norm in the yester years. Today they are back in fashion. You can wear the old silk sarees with closed neck blouses to present a retro look that is in fashion. The closed neck blouse will give you a dignified and elegant look. Many actresses prefer to don this look for festive occasions. It will make you look ethnic and traditional too.
3. Designer Blouse
A blouse that has intricate handmade designs on it is a best buddy of a silk saree. If your silk saree is simple, you can pep up the look by using designs on your blouse. A sequined or heavily embroidered blouse of same or different color will add elegance and richness to the ensemble. You can also try jacket style blouses and corset blouses with silk sarees. Add a few antique pieces of jewelry and this look will rock any wedding or occasion.
4. Quirky Blouse
If you want to spice up the look a little bit, then you can opt for casual shirts, crop tops, lace tops, even t-shirts on the silk saree. It is a way to add a bit of fun element to the entire traditional look. The quirky blouse on the silk saree can be accessorized with silver jewelry or modern simple jewelry.
5. Sleeveless Blouse
And if you want to look modern in your old silk saree, then the best way is to wear a chic, sleeveless blouse over it. A simple sleeveless blouse with no designs is the best thing that you can wear to look trendy and feel comfortable in an old silk saree.
These are some ways in which you can wear the old silk sarees.
