How to Style Banarasi Sarees for Different Occasions?

The mode of dressing of a Banarasi saree simply lies in making a balance between the traditional majesty of the saree and maximizing a personal touch of the same.

To make it a Grand Wedding or Festive Occasion: Go traditional! Wear your saree in the conventional Nivi style to display the detailed pallu. Wear it with classic gold or kundan jewelry, a bun tied very neatly with a gajra, and a clutch to match. The most appropriate colors during such episodes are rich colors such as red, maroon, and emerald green.

To attend a Casual Get-Together or Office Party: Be more minimalistic and modern. Choose a lighter Banarasi saree that is in pastel or solid jewel tones and combine it with a modern blouse. Something chic can be added with a sleeveless or jacket-cut blouse. Allow accessories to be minimal, but if the dress is plain, some statement earrings or a subtle necklace may work and complete the outfit with a polished hairdo and little makeup.

To achieve a Modern Fusion Look set: There is no rule against experimenting! Attempt to wear your saree with a belt to slim your waist or overlay a clashing clutch to make a statement. You can combine it with trendy shoes such as the block heel or even sneakers to give it a cute, edgy attitude.

Care Tips for Your Banarasi Silk Saree

Taking care of your Banarasi silk saree is a must since it will remain beautiful and keep your wealth for generations to come. These handwoven treasures are in need of slightly more love and care.

First and foremost, dry clean your Banarasi saree. Delicate silk fibers and the fine zari work can be destroyed through the use of harsh detergents and machine washing. Store your saree in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Protect it with a soft breathable cotton or muslin wrap -this protects against dust and moisture. Plastic covers should never be used because they may lock in humidity and stain the fabric yellow or with mildew.

You should refold your saree after every few months, but alter the fold lines in order to avoid permanent creases. With minimum heat being the best way to iron, while ironing, a thin cloth made of cotton should come between the iron and the saree so that the zari is not harshly exposed to heat. Do not spray perfume or deodorant directly on the fabric because it may leave permanent stains due to the chemical properties in them. Just by doing so, one can find that the precious saree can look just as attractive as it did the first day.
