Brocade or gold blouses go with just about all colors, but when you keep them in the family, they look vibrant and great. Instead of a regular front or back opening, go with a tie-able closure – that’s uber chic, we tell you.

When you say backless, it can mean a million things, and it’s always deliberately not backless. It all finally depends on how far you are willing to go, and how creative you can be.

Shirt style blouses are increasingly becoming popular. In fact, you don’t even need a blouse especially made in this pattern; you can pick up a crop top, an off-shoulder top, a plain black T-shirt, etc., and sport them with a saree. Other details like adding a belt or a satin belt to cinch at the waist lift your look further.

Gold partywear sarees are better off plain because you can take the glitter factor up with the blouse – and that’s a classy way of balancing outfits instead of going all out. Go for a heavily embroidered cold shoulder blouse with an illusion neckline, and combine it with a partywear saree. Carry a clutch and sport big earrings – that’s how you do it.
