Opt for a different blouse

You can style a saree you have previously worn with a different blouse that complements the colour and pattern of the saree. The same can be done with lehengas.

Experiment with the dupatta drape or opt for a cape

You can choose to let go of the dupatta or choose a different one. Capes also go well with lehengas. A change in drape changes the entire look. You can experiment with different ways of draping a saree or dupatta to create a fresh look.

Turn saree into lehenga

If you are fond of your ethnic saree but want to go for a different look altogether, you can turn it into a lehenga and style accordingly.

Pair with a shirt or crop top

Lehenga skirts can be paired with a white crop top or a shirt to give a contemporary look.

Accessorise differently

You can change the accessories while repurposing an outfit. From heavy jewellery to keeping it minimal, from carrying a clutch to a sling bag, different variations of accessories can add fresh layers to the already worn outfit.

Hair and make-up

A different hairstyle is also a good way to create a fresh look while wearing an old ethnic outfit. You can choose to tie your hair in a bun or keep it open depending on the kind of look you want to go for. Even make-up can help add a refreshing touch.
