Time passes and everything changes, but the Egyptian pyramids, the sunset and the traditional clothes of Indian women remain unchanged - a sari that has won many fans around the world. What is the best way to dress and with what shoes and accessories to combine these ethnic clothes? Many ladies pose the question: how to wear saris? First of all, it's worth figuring out what it is.
What is a sari
Before learning how to wear a sari or, more precisely, how to tie and drape it, you should understand what it is like. After all, this is not just a dress, it is a kind of ancient cultural tradition for many Hindus or Pakistanis. But before you wear a sari, you need to consider that this is not just traditional women's clothing, but a special lifestyle. After all, Indian women have been wearing it for centuries and their every movement is filled with grace and plastic. Do not rush and make sudden movements.
Saree is a long cloth from 5 to 9 meters long, decorated with various ornaments, exquisite embroidery and rhinestones. Plain daily clothes are characterized by calm colors. Silk or chiffon sarees with embroidery or gems are suitable for the holidays.
No less important is the location of the picture. For short women, it is better to prefer a vertical pattern that visually stretches the figure. Ladies with uniforms can successfully combine a dense skirt and light fabric, which will give airiness and lightness.
Choice of skirts and choli
On the bottom they put on a knitted or cotton top with a short sleeve - choli or a regular blouse. But it is better that the cutout on it is not very deep. What is unacceptable, especially in India and Pakistan, is underwear peeping out from under the clothes. The color of the blouse should be contrasting. If the sari is red, then choli is better to choose green. Although for owners of curvaceous, it is best to choose the top tone-on-tone with the main fabric.
A long skirt is put on under the sari, which will serve as the basis and is selected according to the color of the fabric. It is better if it is on a soft elastic band and reaches the ankle, which does not hamper movements while walking.
With some skill, wearing a sari can be done in just a few minutes. The most important thing is not to rush and to dress him up. First you need to deploy the fabric in length and, holding the right edge, tuck it in the elastic of the lower skirt. For greater certainty, you can pin this place with a pin, and then wrap it counterclockwise around the hips. After the first layer, we begin the drapery of the sari. Folds are made in an amount of seven to ten pieces about the width of a palm. The folds are aligned and laid for the belt in a straight line. For confidence in the strength of the structure, it is best to pin the bend places with pins.
After this, we again wrap the fabric around the waist and raise it to the side of the right chest, lowering the free edge to the left shoulder, which is also draped along the remaining length. So that the sari does not fall off the shoulder, we fix the fabric with a pin. You can throw the free edge of matter onto the hair, securing with hair clips, making a kind of hood. Of course, it’s best if the seller shows how to wear saris during the purchase so that later there will be no problems. It may not work out the first time you wrap it yourself and you will have to practice it. But there are no insoluble problems.
Shoes and accessories, with what and how to wear sarees
It is best to combine sarees with exquisite bracelets for arms and legs made of copper or bone. They will give the image a finished look and will be able to add a certain charm. For a sari, not only the color and pattern of the fabric, but also the right shoes are important. It is best to prefer light ballet flats or flat sandals. They will be successfully combined with a classic sari.
