Whether it’s office wear or parties, a saree is one of those garments that can suit every scenario. While wearing a saree regularly is doable in the summer, one doesn’t really think of them as a comfortable outfit option in the winter. And pairing a saree with a frumpy sweater may feel comfortable but this doesn’t really cut it, style wise. But we figured out how to make the saree a truly all-season outfit. Check out these practical, stylish ideas on how to wear a saree in winter.

1. Turtlenecks and fitted sweaters are chic and practical

Bring out all the fitted sweaters and turtlenecks from your closet to make a warm and chic blouse. They look stylish and practical for any occasion. Opting for a plain turtleneck with a printed or tone-on-tone saree will instantly give you a winter appropriate, formal outfit. You can always add silver or oxidised jewelry to enhance your outfit and finish your look.

2. Faux fur and velvet jackets are statement pieces

Pairing sarees with faux fur and velvet jackets will completely change your whole look. Try a short faux fur coat for an effortlessly stylish look for a cocktail party. Another great option is a long velvet jacket. You can pair one with some intricate detailing for a classic ethnic touch.

3. Blazers and well-fitted cardigans are perfect for a crisp look

If you swear by this six-yard wonder as your go-to formal outfit, we understand your dilemma of styling a saree in winter. For a professional look, pair your saree with cardigans and blazers. Throw on a blazer after tying your saree, and style your pallu either above or below your blazer. You can do the same with well-fitted cardigans.

4. Denim and leather jackets are casual and edgy

Such pieces are stunning alternatives to a regular blouse and completely change your look. Add a few accessories if you’re heading out for the night.

6. Shawls, capes and silk dupattas are game changers
