The Modern Saree Edit – Bollywood Cut

It is rightly quoted by fashion genii time and again that "fashion fades but style is eternal" As devout followers of all things fashion, we can have it written on stone that nothing spells elegant and versatile as a perfectly draped saree. But as millennial culture would have it, there is nothing that cannot be graced with a touch of individuality. Here's four Bollywood approved modern saree styles that will surely have you reaching for the humble saree and a camera to immortalize the moment for the social media.

It's all about the blouse 

What adds the extra zing to your saree ? Is it the pallu or the fall? More often than not, we tend to neglect the blouse which can be the MVP in transforming an elegant saree into an upbeat outfit. Think blouses with dramatic sleeves, collars or graphic prints, to take your saree-game to the next level. We might have just the options for you if you already don't own one. Check out these stunning pieces below.

 Belt it 

Please fasten your belts as this fashion-craft is about to take off! Accentuate your figure you spent hours sweating out on at the gym with a sassy belt. What's better is that it holds the pesky pallu in place so that you can focus on looking flawless. Pick a contrasting belt or a similar colored belt to match your mood and you have a look which is offbeat without making it look like you tried too hard. Do check out the Aza picks for this style and you just might find the perfect outfit for your next event.

Contemporary Prints

As the moniker suggests sarees can be modernized by a simple tweak. Prints can take your look from the Madhubala to Sonam Kapoor Ahuja in the most subtle way. Ditch the boring ol' prints for a fresh new set of graphics that scream "2019"
