Front Pallu Style
This is an easy yet chic draping style. Instead of letting the pallu fall on your back you can drape over the other shoulder in such a way so it falls in the front. This makes for a refreshing new take on the sari drape that gives you a cool and fashion forward look.
Belt it up
Just like this picture, drape the saree by adding a belt that will overlap your pallu at the waist. The belt will instantly elevate your beautifully draped fluid sari and make a style statement like no other! For a more eclectic look, you can use a Kamar bandh as well.
Drape with jacket/blazers
The blazer is usually worn in offices and some meetings. Trying your sari with a blazer for a more professional look or a jacket for an informal one gives a unique twist and creates an extraordinary look out of it.
Gown drape
As worn in the attached, draping a sari like one's own by taking the soft smooth pallu around your neck makes it look chic and enables you to let your hair down. A perfect blend of feminine modernity, most of the time it is often paired with a simple sleeve blouse or a tube top to enhance the drape and one can also mix match the look and make it a fusion giving it a fresh new touch.
Sari and shirt
Another smart choice of wearing a sari as demonstrated in the attached is to pair it with a shirt instead of a blouse. The shirt blouse has been an extremely trendy combination lately and gives a fun quirky appearance.
