Saree color combinations play a huge role in the overall appeal and aura of the wearer. No matter how gorgeous, classy, or expensive the saree is; the color combination of your wedding silk saree or saree blouse can still ruin the look. The perfection of a saree only comes out if it is flaunted in an appropriate combination. The blouse, the border, and the color of the matching cape or jacket with the saree can look experimental and successful. So, when we talk about the right color balance for the saree; here are some trendy and useful combinations to go for.
Primary or Secondary Contrasting Colors of the Saree and Blouse
Gone are the days when a pink saree would call for a pink blouse and a golden drape a golden blouse. It’s the world of going unusual and playing contrast for that highlighted appeal. Think green and purple or red and gold and you will feel your fashion statement going strong. A silver shimmer designer blouse and a pink saree can always be a powerful combination to flaunt at the wedding ceremony.
Bold and Vibrant Combinations
It’s the time to go bold and unique with your saree color choices and blouse designs for saree. And the bold and vibrant combination need not only be for a saree or blouse alone. It can be a perfect setting between your saree and border, saree and the jacket or the designer saree and the cape attached to the blouse. You can bookmark a few like red and blue, green, and beige, orange and gold or yellow and purple combinations to look like a princess at the upcoming wedding. Whether it’s a traditional banarasi georgette saree or a designer drape; the vibrancy of the combination is something to be considered. This eclectic blue sequin saree from KALKI looks unique and quite a stunner.
Earthy Tones
Earthy tones can be flattering and not the risqué that you have been thinking. You can transform a brown, beige, and ivory saree into a refreshing saree color combination. However, if you still feel that earthy tone looks simple and humble, you can well give it a color burst by adding a different colored latest blouse design or opting for a sequin or shimmer saree. Sequins and the added shimmer never fail to flatter the earthy tones. The ready pleated saree in beige from KALKI with floral pattern sequin work, floral blouse or trendy velvet blouse is a new color combination saree for the wedding and reception.

How to Choose the Right color Saree Combination for Your Skin Tone
Planning to buy saree online and confused as to what colour to add to the cart that can match your skin tone? Or planning to buy one from the store but standing puzzled right there as you need the best bet as per your complexion? Fret not! We help you choose the perfect saree as per your skin tone.
Dusky Complexion
Congrats! You have a skin tone like a few B-town hotties like Priyanka Chopra, Bipasha, and Deepika. No wonder, they opt for color variants for sarees despite their skin tone and so can you. Carrot red, burnt orange, mustard, brown and maroon are a few saree hues that are perfect to be tried if you have a skin tone that is a bit on the darker side. We would suggest you to avoid metallic and neon shades. Black and white in contrast or safely draped can look gorgeous on dusky women.
Wheatish Skin Tone
Pink, maroon, cobalt blue, magenta, sky blue, yellow, and emerald saree can enhance the personality of women with wheatish complexion. Shades of grey, beige, ivory or light brown can be avoided to style your saree. Try contrast color sarees, multi-colored and printed sarees that can blend impeccably with your skin tone and personality.
Fair Skin
Warm, pastel, bright, metallic, and even neon shades look awesome on fair skin. Dark colors, light colors and even a mix can accentuate a fair lady’s personality. Yellow, grey, green, magenta, turquoise and blue saree highlight the complexion of a fair skin. These shades can do wonders at a party, cocktail, or wedding night.

How To Style
Jewels
The saree is already striking, bold and bright. In that case you must avoid wearing a similar shade necklace or earrings. Also try to deck up yourself in the minimalistic way possible. Keep your look simple and on-point with dainty pearls or silver jewellery.
Accessories & Make-up
Stone or embellished waist belt over a dark colored saree can be your statement piece. An ethnic clutch or potli can also keep your look minimal and easy. You can go for a bag in mixed color as the purple saree is monotone, giving you a chance to play it up.
Don’t shy away from experimenting with new, bold, and bright colours for your saree. Those who are shy can always tone down their latest saree colour combination by keeping the make-up subtle or jewels minimal. On the other hand, those who swear by the jazzy traditional look or funky look can always upgrade even a simple saree look by opting for a designer blouse in cut-sleeves, balloon sleeves, umbrella sleeves and more. Multi-coloured blouses, an add-on like jacket and cape or colourful accessories can help you round-off your look.
