Summers are just the right time to flaunt your curves by slipping into mini skirts and shorts that can be paired with sleeveless tops and T-shirts. But for those women who have a couple of events to attend and ethnic wear is the only option they have, summer sarees are a classic choice. 

The best part about wearing sarees during the summer is that it offers you a much-needed respite from the heat. With the short blouses, you can enjoy the breeze, while the saree overall offers you easy movement. 

If you want to avoid looking like a plain Jane at the festivities, it is better to skip sarees in solid colours and opt for printed ones. When in doubt, stick to florals because you can never go wrong with a floral-printed saree. The floral prints are evergreen, meaning you can wear them all year round. 

So this season, enjoy the festivities in floral printed summer sarees styled like celebrities. To make sure you’re choosing the right summer sarees, check out this quick guide.

  • Prints should be in sync with your body type: The prints on the sarees can be large, medium and even tiny. But just because the saree is printed doesn’t mean you can pick up any. The prints on the saree should suit your body type too. If you are small and petite, tiny floral prints will look good on you. Choosing bigger prints can become overwhelming and will make you look bigger too. If you want to avoid looking like a bouquet, stick to delicate prints.
  • Go for contrasting colors: Colour contrasting or colour blocking is the latest fad in the fashion industry. If you don’t want to FOMO (fear of missing out) over this trend, join the bandwagon and start mixing and matching your saree and blouse. If you are wearing a pink saree, you can ditch the matching blouse and opt for a yellow or grey blouse. Similarly, purple and yellow, red and blue, green and yellow and pink and white are some other colour combinations which you can experiment with.

  • Opt for pastels: Outdoor events can be really fun, but if you want to make the most of it with Instagrammable pictures, you can wear a pastel coloured floral saree, which will sync with the background. Pastel shades are soothing to wear and see and just imagine how beautiful they will look against the bright summer backdrop.
  • Minimize the jewellery: If you think ‘less is more’ you are a perfect minimalist and to keep up with this thought, you can go easy on the jewellery department. Since your summer saree is filled with floral prints, don’t draw attention away from it by accessorizing your look overly. Either opt for earrings and a watch or a bracelet or a necklace to keep the ethnic look well balanced.
