Make sure to choose a colour that complements your skin tone:

Contrast is the key:
Opt for contrasting colours while choosing the blouse and saree. Pink and blue, red and green or pink and yellow are just some of the basic colour combinations that go well with nauvari patterns.

Keep it traditional
Traditional jewellery like a nath, choker necklaces, bangles, waist belt and earrings, especially in gold, add a touch of regal elegance to the outfit. However, don’t go overboard as too much jewellery might take the attention away from the outfit.

With pearls and kundan trending at the moment, they can also be paired well with nauvari sarees.

Wear classic Kolhapuri sandals or flats with the attire. Heels are a big no-no. Pic/Satej Shinde
