Tissue sarees are a testament to the timeless charm of Indian ethnic wear. Their shimmering fabric and delicate texture stand out as symbols of grace and sophistication. Whether you’re dressing up for a wedding, festival, or special occasion, here’s how you can style your tissue saree to make a dazzling impression.
Choosing the Right Tissue Saree
When it comes to tissue sarees, the fabric’s natural sheen plays a significant role in its appeal. Opt for shades that complement your skin tone and occasion. Classic gold and silver tissue sarees are versatile and can be paired with various blouse designs, while pastel shades and vibrant hues offer a contemporary twist. I chose mine with pastel shades and this saree was a love at first sight for me. We’ve seen Rekha, Sridevi, and Jhanvi Kapoor to Sobhita Dhulipala drape tissue sarees, so it is one type of saree that has been in style and there is one for every one of us.
Blouse Pairing
The blouse can make or break your saree look. For tissue sarees, consider the following blouse styles:
Embroidered Blouse: Adds a touch of glamour to your ensemble.
Silk Blouse: Complement the texture of the tissue saree beautifully.
Off-Shoulder Blouse: For a modern, stylish look.
Contrasting Colors: A bold contrast can make your saree pop.
Draping Styles
Experimenting with different draping styles can elevate your saree game. Here are a few styles to consider:
Nivi Style: The classic drape, is perfect for showcasing the saree’s natural flow.
Bengali Style: Adds a regal touch with its pleats and pallu drape.
Gujarati Style: Ideal for festive occasions, with the pallu draped in front.
Accessories
Accessorizing plays a crucial role in completing your look. Here are some tips:
Jewelry: Opt for traditional gold or silver jewellery, or go for statement pieces that match your saree’s color palette.
Bindi: A small, elegant bindi can enhance your traditional look.
Hair Accessories: Flowers, hairpins, and brooches can add charm to your hairstyle.
Footwear
Choose comfortable yet stylish footwear. Heels can add height and poise, while embellished flats or sandals can be both chic and practical.
Makeup and Hairstyle
Your makeup and hairstyle should complement the elegance of the tissue saree:
Makeup: Opt for a dewy, glowing look with a touch of shimmer on the eyes and bold lips.
Hairstyle: A classic bun, loose curls, or a braided updo can add sophistication to your overall appearance.
Confidence is Key
No matter how beautifully you style your tissue saree, the most important accessory you can wear is confidence. Stand tall, smile, and carry your outfit with grace and poise.
With these styling tips, you’re all set to make a stunning statement in your tissue saree. Whether you’re attending a wedding, a festive celebration, or a formal event, remember that your unique style and confidence are what truly make you shine.
