Different ways to style cotton saree – Formal or Party look
By now we all know how Cotton Saree Trend is gearing up to be one of the hottest trends this year. I myself am in awe with the gorgeous handloom sarees making rounds at the fashion weeks lately. You guys have already seen how I styled my mom’s aka grandma’s cotton saree in a traditional style in the previous post. Another look from my Cotton or Linen Saree series is the formal look or it can be an office party look.


A crisp pleated Saree drape with a feminine floral or retro bell sleeve blouse can be a great option for the formal look. Make sure to use contrasting blouse to the Saree so that the statement design would stand out. A plain muted saree with bold print dramatic blouse will completely change the way you look at your saree. How a simple cotton saree can be party ready in minutes depends upon the kind of blouse you pair it with and this bell sleeves kalamkari blouse totally makes the cut.

I decided to put my hair in an up-do to give it a little severe look apt for the formal event. I completed my look with black eye-liner and a burgundy lipstick. The wine red of the saree goes well with the burgundy red lipstick and gives me a complete autumn feel.

This saree is perfect for both office wear and a night party in winters. That’s what I love about cotton sarees, they are totally versatile and can be styled for various occasions. Depending upon how you style it, it completely changes your whole persona!
