How to Style Ethnic Wear for Janmashtami: Tips for the Perfect Look
Styling your saree right can make all the difference. Here’s how to elevate your ethnic wear look while staying rooted in tradition:
- Blouse Game Matters: Instead of a plain blouse, go for hand-embroidered, mirror-work, or zari blouses. This adds depth and richness to even the simplest saree.
- Play with Necklines and Sleeves: Blouse styles like boat neck, high neck, or three-quarter sleeves pair beautifully with chiffon sarees or organza sarees, adding freshness to your festive look.
- Balance with Accessories: Use statement earrings, a delicate maang tikka, or a traditional choker. Keep your jewellery minimal yet impactful so it complements your outfit.
- Ethnic Footwear is Key: Go for stylish yet comfortable juttis or mojaris—ideal for pooja ceremonies and long celebrations. They match beautifully with sarees.
Pro Tip: Match your makeup to your saree tones—warm for gold and maroon, cool for silver and pastels.
