How often have you desired to shift away from your regular dressing pattern and flaunt an exquisite look? Well, if you haven’t, then you have some stunning choices to try out this festive season. In case you are all set to add that cosmopolitan look to your wardrobe, then royal blue is just the right colour for you. Whatever be your saree draping preferences- Ulta pallu or Seedha pallu or the lehenga style, you can get an endless number of choices to select from.
Royal blue has been a favourite with Indian designers when it comes to dressing up our Bollywood beauties or launching new Royal Blue Saree collections at any upcoming fashion week. No one can forget the charismatic look that Aishwarya Rai sported in Devdas in her magnificent royal blue saree that was superbly complemented with a three- quarter sleeved designer blouse and traditional jewellery.
If you desire to get into a contemporary avatar then you can draw inspiration from Deepika Padukone’s breathtakingly beautiful gold- bordered royal blue saree in Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani. In fact, you can get any number of combinations with this bright shade of blue.
Experimentation is always a brilliant idea so you can try different combinations of borders in contrast colours, zari , kundan, or zardosi. Nowadays, half- combination sarees are also in fashion. If you have a half saree in royal blue, then you can look for combinations such as white to offset the shade and enhance its beauty. Likewise, you can also look for printed or shaded sarees. One of the colour combinations that never fail is light sea green paired with deep royal blue for the main body of the saree. In case you are looking for a lehenga saree, those blessed with the right stature can easily experiment with a number of shades that can work well with this pretty colour.
To accessorize, you can opt for polka or meenakari jewellery , or a range of other combinations in silver and diamonds. Avoid heavy embellishments if you are wearing a heavy saree. Remember, broad cuffs go well with a plain saree; and fine bangles are just the thing to wear when you have an ornate saree. The same goes with your blouses. Tone down a heavily embroidered saree with a brocade blouse in matching thread work. The right set of accessories such as high heels and a beaded clutch can complete your look. Those who have short hair can tie a tidy circular bun or keep layered hair to exhibit the perfect look.If you have long hair, any type of styling would work well.
