How to Style a Jamdani Saree in Traditional Bengali Style: Inspired by Debina Bonnerjee

Posted on by Sareeing Official

Styling a Jamdani saree in the traditional Bengali way can elevate your look to a timeless classic, and no one exemplifies this better than Debina Bonnerjee. Recently, she stunned in a beautifully woven Jamdani saree, paired with a striking red traditional blouse. The Jamdani saree, known for its intricate patterns and lightweight fabric, drapes elegantly, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of Bengal.

To achieve this look, start by choosing a Jamdani saree with traditional motifs. The red blouse, a staple in Bengali attire, complements the saree perfectly and adds an element of auspiciousness and elegance. The draping style is crucial; the Bengali drape involves pleating the saree at the front and wrapping it around the body with the pallu draped over the left shoulder, often creating a fan-like display that adds volume and grace.

Accessorizing is key to completing the look. Debina opted for a sophisticated bun hairdo, which not only looks elegant but also keeps the focus on the saree and jewelry. The sindoor (vermillion) along the parting of the hair is a traditional Bengali symbol of marital status and adds a touch of authenticity. A long tribal necklace with a Maa Durga pendant added a spiritual and cultural significance to her ensemble.

While Debina’s look was almost perfect, adding Shakha Pola bangles could have made it even more authentic. These white and red bangles are traditionally worn by married Bengali women and are a beautiful way to complete the ensemble. With these elements, you can effortlessly recreate this stunning Bengali style, embracing the grace and tradition of the Jamdani saree.

Style Your Sarees for Parties like a Pro! Eight Important Points To Remember

Posted on by Sareeing Official

  • Choose the right fabric for the party. If you are attending a formal party, you will need a heavier fabric like silk or brocade. For a more casual party, you can choose a lighter fabric like chiffon or cotton.

  • Consider the color of the saree. If you are fair-skinned, you can choose brighter colors like red, orange, or yellow. If you have a darker skin tone, you can choose darker colors like blue, green, or purple.

  • Match the saree with the right blouse. The blouse should be made of the same fabric as the saree, or a contrasting fabric that complements the color of the saree.



  • Choose the right jewelry. The jewelry should be simple and elegant. You can wear a necklace, earrings, and a bracelet.

  • Wear high heels or sandals to add height and make your legs look longer.

  • Do your hair in a simple updo or braid. This will keep your hair out of your face and make you look more sophisticated.

  • Apply light makeup. You want to let the saree be the star of the show, so don’t go overboard with the makeup.

  • Smile and have fun! Wearing a saree should be a confident and enjoyable experience.

There’s nothing like the best or perfect manner of wearing a saree. It’s all about how comfortable you feel while you carry a saree. However, based on my experiences of wearing sarees for so many years, I would like to mention a couple of pointers here.

  • Make sure your saree pleats are neat and not too short or too long which makes it difficult to walk in a saree.

  • Likewise, your pallu needs to be of appropriate length, neither too long nor too short.

2 Easy Draping Tips for SILK SAREES

Posted on by Sareeing Official

Silk saris are one of our most prized possessions in our wardrobe. Especially, the ones passed on to us. The gorgeous vintage silk saris.

While draping silk sarees, it’s important to understand that the length of the sari and the pallu is important. Too long of either and your saree is sweeping the floor. Silk sarees are expensive and prone to damage and the worst thing you can do is to leave it dragging on the floor. Wouldn’t you agree my friends ?

Follow these 2 easy tip next time you drape your silk saree . It will make a world of difference.

1. When draping, make sure the bottom of the saree is just slightly almost at floor level. Not too low and not too high. Remember, silk sarees are heavy and eventually the drape will come down a bit.
2. When measuring the length of the pallu, bring the fabric to the front and make sure it doesn’t go beyond the knees level or slightly below. This way, your open pallu won’t drag on the floor.


These 2 simple tips will give you a clean look and protects your sarees too.
