Choosing the Right Handloom Saree for Your Workplace
Selecting the right fabric and color sets the tone for your office look:
Fabrics to Favor: Cotton, linen, and Maheshwari are best for breathability and structure. These keep you cool and wrinkle-free through long hours.
Colors for Work: Stick with pastels, earthy tones, or muted shades like dusty pink, taupe, sky blue, olive, and beige—these appear polished and rarely overpower.

Best Draping Styles for the Boardroom
Nivi Draping: The classic, most professional style. Crisp pleats and a pinned pallu create a tidy, fuss-free appearance.
Modern Twist: For creative workplaces, try pant drapes or pair your saree with a structured blazer or jacket for added flair.
Always ensure your saree is neatly pleated and secured to avoid frequent adjustments.
Styling Your Blouse: Keeping It Classy
Recommended: Well-fitted, plain, or subtly printed blouses with elbow-length or three-quarter sleeves. High-neck and boat-neck designs provide a formal, chic edge.
Avoid: Deep necklines, bold patterns, flashy sequins, or heavy embellishments.
Office-Ready Accessories and Footwear
Opt for minimal jewelry, think simple studs, small hoops, a dainty bracelet, and a professional watch.
Carry neutral-toned bags; select closed-toe shoes, ballet flats, or low heels for comfort.
Scarves or stoles in lightweight fabrics can add both functionality and style.
Quick Everyday Styling Tips & Mistakes to Avoid
· Pin your pallu securely for ease of movement.
· Use safety pins sparingly to prevent fabric damage.
· Don’t overload on accessories; let the saree’s texture and color shine.
· Keep makeup soft: nude shades, kohl, mascara, and a subtle lip color work best.
· Hairstyles like low buns, neat ponytails, or soft waves complete the office look.
