How to Pick a Saree Blouse Colour
A simple guide to choosing a blouse colour for your saree: matching, contrast, and tone, with tips for printed, plain and heavily worked sarees.
Blouse colour changes how a saree looks. You can match, contrast or pick a tone from the print.
Quick answer
For a safe, elegant look, match the blouse to the saree body or border. For a modern look, contrast with a complementary shade. For printed sarees, pick a solid colour from the print.
Three approaches
- Match: use the same colour as the saree for a rich, uniform look.
- Contrast: pick a complementary or neutral shade, such as gold, ivory or deep green, for a statement.
- Pick from the print: choose one colour from a printed saree, ideally the most subtle.
By occasion
- Daily and office: muted, matching tones.
- Festive: rich colours and contrast borders.
- Weddings: metallic, deep and jewel tones.
Tips
- View colours in daylight before deciding.
- Bring a saree corner when you choose fabric.
- Contrast piping can tie the blouse to the saree.
