Red is the color for love, passion, and desire. Therefore, Valentine's Day is an appropriate time to shower love and romance with a splash of elegance through the perfect way of donning a red saree. It depicts elegance and sophistication, yet allows you to make a forever impression with your partner on this special day. If you want to drape a red saree this Valentine's Day, then here is the way to look absolutely stunning.
Tips to Slay In a Red Saree
1. Select the Right Fabric for Your Red Saree
The fabric of your saree is going to define the complete look. You would like to go for such materials that reflect elegance and charm on Valentine's day dinner. Silk, chiffon, and georgette saree are excellent options, as they drape very well and give you a smooth flow with every movement. Satin or velvet is good for evening wear because it gives an opulent look that goes well with the intimate dinner scene. You must want something that complements your body type and the place so that you don't feel shy or uncomfortable all night.
2. Select the Right Style and Design
You do not have to limit yourself to simple, boring styles of red sarees on Valentine's Day. In fact, choose sarees having great details on it that will bring the best color combination. One such saree that you should choose is sarees with subtle embroidery, or you can select one having zari work or some stone work as a highlight on the saree. A red saree, especially with gold or silver accents, will look all the more richly colored and sophisticated. If it's more of a modern look you want to give yourself, then go for one that is contemporary in style, either pre-stitched or draped-pleated, to get rid of the hassles of pleating while giving a sleek, fashion-forward cut to the silhouette.
3. Accessorize to Enhance your Look
When you adorn a red-colored saree, the right pieces of accessories bring out the totality of what you are going to wear. Remember that a red color will be bold enough and striking too; you should probably balance your other accessories so they do not beat the rest out of your garments. Gold and silver jewelry give a glamorous tone. Statement pieces of earrings could be a slim necklace or heavy bracelet that balances the saree with some gleam. If you're going for a saree with rich work, do not wear heavy jewelry. This will prevent the look from getting too cluttered.
Add a clutch bag in the same color as gold or silver to complete your ensemble. A red bindi can add a touch of elegance and charm to the entire outfit.
4. Hairstyle and Makeup
The right hairstyle and makeup can actually make all the difference when donning a red saree for Valentine's Day. Soft curls or waves with the saree's elegant drape would really give an old-world look to you, and a sleek updo or a low bun can help you get that modern touch, giving you that sophisticated finish. You can even add small hair pins or some fresh flowers into your hair to give you a romantic, feminine touch.
For makeup, try a soft romantic look. Natural base with a flawless foundation and subtle blush creates a fresh glow to go with your Valentine’s Day dresse. However, a red lip color, bold and full, will perfect your red saree, though if you want a softer look, peachy or nude lip shades will help in keeping the emphasis on your eyes. You can opt for a classic smoky eye or a simple cat-eye for a dramatic look. And don't forget to add a highlighter on your cheekbones for that radiant glow.
5. Choose the Right Footwear
The occasion is too beautiful for Valentine's dinner, and you are in a saree. Heeled sandals or stilettos in neutral shades like beige, gold, or silver will do. If you're not comfortable in heels, you can still do it up with flat sandals or ballet flats, preferably embellished or coloured to match. Make sure your footwear complements your saree and keeps you comfortable and poised throughout the night.
