Bollywood divas show how to style chokers with a sari
Saris have a way of making any woman look her feminine best. They immediately force one to carry themselves with grace and elegance.
And if runway trends and style statements that Bollywood celebrities made in the past year are anything to go by, it is quite evident that the sari has come back in style in a huge way.
Whether its actors Deepika Padukone, Kangana Ranaut, Alia Bhatt, Anushka Sharma, Sonam Kapoor, Taapsee Pannu, and Priyanka Chopra, or any leading lady for that matter, we have seen them all sport six yards of elegance in the past year. But what caught out eye was an accessory that the celebrities sported along with this traditional attire. Setting many style goals, we are certain it will be big in the year 2020 as well.
We’re talking about the choker! While chokers have always been in style — especially the heavily embellished ones — it was only in the past year that we saw more and more of our celebs wearing it with different traditional outfits, be it a lehenga, salwar kameez or a sari. But wearing it on a sari truly takes your ensemble to a whole new level.
Take a cue from your favourites Bollywood celebrities on how to wear a choker with a sari. What most celebrities like Alia, Anushka, Deepika and Sonam do, is when they wear chokers with their saris, their hair is always styled neatly, so that it doesn’t spill over their face. This gives a more defined look, and one doesn’t end up looking like a mess.
A style tip for those still experimenting with their sari-choker look, if your sari is heavy, wear a simple choker. But if your sari is simple, wear a heavy choker to balance the look.
