10 Not-So-Traditional Ways To Wear A Saree This Festive Season!

Come wedding season, apart from getting your eyeliner on fleek and keeping the lipstick from getting smudged, wearing a saree is definitely on top of our lists. Most of us need our moms to drape the whole 9 yards for us but they would definitely do it the traditional way, which involves handling a pallu or actually knowing how to pleat it. Let’s admit it, this is never easy. But say you are feeling a little brave and want to try something new. The best place to get all the inspiration you need for wearing a saree in a different way is from our celebrities. Here are 10 looks that our Bollywood divas are making us drool over this festive season.

1. Pair your saree up with a cold shoulder blouse. Having a high neck blouse brings the eyes up to the neck and the face.
