1. Fix Tucks with Pins

Safety pins are required when wearing a saree. If you don't use them correctly, they might make or destroy your saree style. The first stage in wearing a saree is getting the initial tuck in the petticoat correct; otherwise, your stride will appear clunky. To avoid it, use pins instead of tucking straight into the waist. This tip is especially critical if you want to wear a lightweight fabric like net, chiffon, or Georgette. All you need to do is pin the saree to a petticoat with safety pins so that it holds better. 

2. Pin Extra Fabric Under Pleats

A simple trick while wearing it may make a big difference. For example, if you want to get the fishtail style, simply pinning the additional materials along your waistline will do the trick. Simply lay the excess material below the pleats while establishing a fit around the waist.

3. Right Choice of Fabric

The best sarees can be chosen from the wide variety of handlooms or powerlooms. It depends on the fabric of your choice since it impacts how readily you can pull off a particular style. Although fabrics like cotton seem neat and crisp and are suitable for summer, they wrinkle easily. Chiffon, rayon, georgette, and other fabrics are suitable for everyday wear since they are lightweight and simple to carry. Choosing the right fabric for your saree may help you wear it with grace.

4. Secure Your Pleats with Pins

There is nothing more beautiful than a silk saree. If you're going to wear a beautiful silk saree to a celebration, Simply take your under pleats and gently pin them off. The goal is to sustain the massive fall at the front without revealing the pins.

5. Pin the Pallu 

Everyone appreciates a well-pleated pallu that contributes to a neat look. If you have difficulty maintaining that section of your saree, pinning the pallu vertically might make a major difference in your saree game. Take a pin and pin the pleats on your shoulder vertically. 

Saree is an attire that women may wear with flair and confidence. It also highlights a woman's attractiveness with very little effort. So pull out that beautiful garment from your closet and wear it with a panache.
