5 Saree Styling Tips Every Modern Woman Should Know – From the Jelda Team
Share
1. Pick the Right Petticoat
Your foundation matters! Choose a well-fitted petticoat in the right fabric and shade:
-
Cotton or satin for comfort and smooth fall
-
Color-matched for light sarees
-
Shapewear petticoats for a sleek, modern drape
💡 Avoid bulky or loose ones — they ruin the silhouette.
2. Iron & Pleat Ahead of Time
Pre-pleating your saree (especially the pallu) saves time and ensures neatness:
-
Use safety pins to secure pleats
-
Iron the pleats flat for crisp edges
-
Drape in front of a mirror and adjust the fall
✨ Planning = elegance. Every single time.
3. Match Your Blouse Smartly
Your blouse should complement your saree’s color, fabric, and occasion:
-
Plain saree + statement blouse = effortless glam
-
Printed saree + subtle blouse = balanced style
-
For heavy sarees, go for a clean, elegant blouse to avoid overdoing it

4. Accessories Matter
Don’t over-accessorize! Pair your saree with:
-
A bold neckpiece or statement earrings — not both
-
A bindi, clutch, and classic bangles for finishing touch
-
Simple makeup that lets your outfit shine
💡 Let one accessory lead. Keep the rest minimal for a modern look.
5. Own Your Style
Traditional or trendy, there's no wrong way to wear a saree — as long as you feel confident in it.
At Jelda, we encourage you to:
-
Try belted sarees or drape over trousers for fusion looks
-
Mix classic weaves with modern blouses
-
Add your own twist to every drape
Because when you wear it your way, you wear it best.
