Don't have a blouse? Check out these 4 easy and stylish tops to wear with your saree
Saree is one of those ensembles that requires a cohesive finish, from blouse to accessories. So it's no wonder that panic sets in when there isn't a blouse strong enough to match the saree's vibe. Or you may have misplaced it. Your entire wardrobe is on the floor, but still, the hunt for the right fitting, colour and vibe is nowhere near its end. If you have upturned your entire wardrobe and still haven't found the right blouse that feels good, or maybe you just want to explore a fresh saree look beyond the conventional blouse-saree pair, consider wearing a top instead. (Shutterstock) But as usual, Gen Z is rewriting the rulebook, letting go of the stress of traditional blouses and wearing their regular tops with sarees. Looks like the saree isn't just about being in sync. Occasionally, it's fine to go out of sync to keep up with your pace by making your saree styling clever and adaptable. These tops are everyday staples and help you embrace saree styling with a fresh perspective. ALSO READ: Saree on a date? Celebrity draper Dolly Jain shares 5 tips to keep it stylish Dinesh Talera, co-founder of Mysore Saree Udyog shared with HT Lifestyle a guide on how to pair your closet staple tops with sarees: 1. Crop top For crop tops, especially the ribbed tank tops with an interesting neckline, whether scoop or sweetheart, help to make the printed striped saree look good.(PC: Pinterest and Mysore Saree Udyog) Pair a solid-coloured crop top with a printed saree; it's a statement-making combo. Whether you choose a deep red, electric blue, or vibrant neon, a solid crop adds contrast and confidence to the fluid elegance of prints. It's a great way to let your personality shine without needing layers or heavy accessories. Style tips: Choose a crop top with striking sleeves or unusual textures to enhance the look of your saree If needed, pair it up with earthy accessories like stacked bangles and silver earrings. 2. Tube top Tube tops bring in an edgy style for both structure-centric and fluid-leaning saree silhouettes.(PC: Pinterest) A tube blouse is the ultimate blend of minimalism and bold fashion. With its clean, strapless design, it lets your shoulders and collarbones take the spotlight, adding a contemporary edge to any saree look. Perfect for those who love sleek silhouettes, the tube blouse pairs beautifully with traditional weaves and modern drapes alike. Style tips: Pair your saree with a tube blouse to give your traditional look a bold, modern twist. Keep accessories minimal. Avoid big earrings or stacked bangles to let the clean neckline shine. 3. Off-shoulder top Satin off-shoulder tops can double as blouses for satin, silk sarees.(PC: Pinterest) By substituting the classic blouse with an off-shoulder or asymmetrical blouse, you achieve a glamorous look. This style looks stunning on silk sarees, counterbalancing the luxury of the fabric with a modern silhouette. Style tips: To complete the look, accessorise your off-shoulder blouse with statement earrings or a sleek choker. This not only draws attention to your neckline but also adds a touch of bold elegance. Keep the rest of your styling minimal to let the blouse and saree shine together in perfect balance. 4. Ruffled white top White ruffled tops go well with multicoloured or ombre sarees. (PC: Pinterest and Mysore Saree Udyog) A vibrant, multicoloured drape paired with a ruffled white blouse breaks all the rules in the best way. Whether it's a fun office look, fashion-forward brunch, or creative event, this look is for those who love making bold, joyful statements. Style tips: Ruffled or exaggerated sleeve blouses add drama, so balance them with sleek hair. Add a bold choker or oxidised necklace for a contrast that ties the look together.
