A sari is known to be one of the most flattering pieces
of clothing and can make you look visibly slender, if worn right and
chosen well. Experts from FashionAndYou share tips on how to step up
your style in a sari:
* Choose the right material:
The fabric of the sari plays a key role in helping you hide your body’s
flaws. Georgette, chiffon and crepe are the ideal materials to opt for.
They stick closer to the body and help you look slimmer. Avoid fabrics
like silk, kanjivaram, cotton and tissue as these tend to make you look
fuller.
* Drape it tight: If you drape your sari loosely, you will unwittingly add volume to your look.
* Limit the pleats: Few of us know this, but adding more pleats to your
sari can actually nullify the slimming effects of the six-yards of
grace. Go in for lesser pleats for a sexier appeal.
* Minimise the borders: For shorter or stockier women, it is always
recommended to go for saris with minimal borders. Broad borders tend to
make you look bigger.It would be ideal to opt for a sari that has no
border at all.
* Choose darker colours: The shade of
sari that you choose to wear also has a large part in bringing out the
slimming effects of the drape. Go in for darker colours as they attract
more attention to your face.
* Pick the perfect
prints: For those on the heavier side, it is advisable to steer clear of
large prints or motifs. Go for delicate work on the sari. Big prints
may look glam, but they also make you look plumper and put your
not-so-flattering areas under the spotlight.
