As winter sets in alongside the wedding season, many people express their love for winter weddings. The chilly weather means you can indulge in all the delicious wedding treats without worrying about sweat ruining your makeup. However, there’s one common dilemma that many women face at winter weddings – staying warm without compromising on style.
While it’s common to see women at weddings shivering, usually without a sweater or shawl, the reason behind this is clear: who wants to cover up a gorgeous saree with a bulky winter layer? But, fear not, we’ve got the perfect solution. With the right way to drape a shawl over your saree, you can stay warm and look stylish – no compromises required.
Here’s how to pair a shawl with a saree without ruining the elegance of your outfit, with tips from saree stylist Jagisha Upadhyay.
Trick 1: A Classic Drape with a Touch of Warmth
- Begin by draping your saree as usual. You can opt for pleats in the pallu or a free-style pallu, depending on your preference.
- Tuck the shawl underneath the pleats at your waist, ensuring it stays in place.
- Now, wrap the shawl around your waist, bringing it forward to drape it over your right shoulder. This way, the pallu of the saree stays on your left shoulder, while the shawl takes its place on the right, almost like a straight-pallu saree style.
- Not only does this draping technique elevate your look, but it will also keep you warm during those chilly wedding moments.
Trick 2: Elegant and Hidden Shawl Drape
If you’re wearing a saree with a free-style pallu, this trick is perfect for you:
- Take the pallu of your saree and neatly pin the shawl along its edge.
- Twist the remaining shawl around the pallu, ensuring it runs smoothly beneath the saree.
- Once you’ve twisted it, bring the shawl to your waist and pin it securely just below the pleats.
- To finish, tuck the edge of the shawl underneath the pleats, creating a seamless look where the shawl is practically hidden within the saree’s folds.
With these clever draping styles, you can stay stylish, cosy, and perfectly dressed for any winter wedding. Why compromise when you can have both style and warmth?
