Cotton sarees are very much every woman’s favorite as well as a must-have. There are some very compelling reasons to add cotton sarees in your closet. A natural fabric, cotton is breathable and less likely to cause irritation or allergic reactions. Because of these qualities, cotton sarees are perfect for humid climates and people with sensitive skin. Cotton is lightweight yet easy to drape, making them an ideal choice for any occasion.
Cotton is a durable fabric and if properly maintained, the quality remains the same for a long time. Cotton sarees are also more pocket-friendly compared to other kinds of sarees. With these reasons, you are bound to fall in love with cotton sarees and you would want to know more about them. Let us get to know various kinds of cotton sarees and how to style them.
One of the primary ways to spruce up is to play with the blouse design. In case of heavily embroidered or printed cotton saree, you can stick to a contrast or matching solid colored blouse. If you want to kick it up a notch, you can choose a print-on-print look. You need to make sure that the blouse and saree prints are not too different that they clash with each other.
In terms of accessories, you can wear jewelry such as jhumkas, necklaces, heavy kadas or bangles. In case of cotton saree in colors of red, orange, yellow, you can opt for gold jewelry. For colors such as blue, green or purple you can opt for silver or oxidised silver jewelry. Other options in jewelry would be bead, meenakari, polki or jadau. In meenakari and beaded jewelry, you can match the pieces with saree colors. Polki and jadau jewelry would be perfect for a grand occasion. If you want to easily carry the cotton sare for long hours, you can also opt for an kamambandh or kamarpatta. Choose a plain or a heavily decorated one, depending on the saree and occasion.
If you are bored with the same pallu style, you can go for other draping styles such as Bengali, Gujarati, or seedha. Makeup and hairstyle could be kept simple to let the saree make a statement. Tie the look together with flats, jutties or strappy sandals or heels.
