Fully embroidered
Are you a maximalist at heart but not into going over the top? This one’s for you. An embroidered blouse adds just the right dose of drama to your outfit without overpowering it. Pair it with a simpler saree and minimal jewellery (if you want, of course) and let the blouse do all the talking.
Halter neck
A perfect blend of modernity and tradition, halter neck blouses are the vanilla ice cream of your wardrobe. They go with just about anything. Pair them with sarees, lehengas, palazzos… the list is endless. They’re especially flattering if you have a long neck, as this silhouette beautifully enhances your shoulders.
Spaghetti straps
