Few garments hold the timeless charm and versatility of a saree. From minimalist drapes to heavily embellished creations, this six-yard wonder continues to redefine elegance with every era. Whether shimmering in sequins, layered with embroidered nets or glowing in rich silks, sarees effortlessly transition from festive soirées to intimate gatherings. Paired with the right accessories, makeup and styling, they can transform from classic to contemporary in an instant. A saree celebrates femininity, individuality and cultural pride, making it an eternal wardrobe staple that never goes out of fashion. This week, You! shares how you can wear the versatile saree and style it with grace…
An emerald green saree brought to life with a striking
four-tone border in green, pink, magenta and orange,
finished with a golden edge for that festive shimmer. The pallu bursts with colour, featuring hints of gold. Styled with a golden blouse and a shocking pink dupatta edged with delicate kiran, this look blends tradition with vibrancy,
perfect for festive dinners or pre-wedding functions.
Accessorised perfectly with a statement green-beaded choker, matching earrings, a teeka and gold bangles.
Loose curls and softly defined waves give this look an airy, graceful appeal. The makeup leans into pastel tones, dewy skin, mauve lips, light blush and fluttery lashes complete the soft-focus glow. It’s refined and dreamy without feeling overdone.
This electric blue sequinned saree makes a powerful statement with its fluid drape and bold hue. The asymmetrical neckline and all-over shimmer give it a contemporary spin, perfect for receptions or high-end evening events. Pair it with silver heels, a metallic clutch and minimal jewellery to let the saree’s sparkle take centre stage. Keep the pallu effortlessly draped over one shoulder for a sleek, modern finish.
A fiery mix of orange, black and gold - this saree celebrates festive opulence. The golden shimmer pallu and ornate border add drama, making it perfect for mehendi nights, festive dinners or traditional functions. Pair it with statement jhumkas, bangles and gold heels for that classic desi glam. The contrast of warm hues gives it a regal yet energetic feel.
Soft, voluminous curls frame the face beautifully, adding texture and balance to the structured silhouette.
The makeup is glowy yet understated, think bronzed cheeks, a hint of highlighter, nude lips and
kohl-rimmed eyes that subtly enhance without overpowering the look.
This mauve-pink saree with its sheer, floral-embroidered overlay captures an ethereal, feminine charm. The delicate thread work and soft pastel tone make it ideal for daytime weddings, nikah ceremonies or engagement lunches. Style it with nude or blush-toned heels, dainty jewellery and a sheer organza clutch for a polished, romantic finish.
