[1] Draping a Kasavu saree with stylish western crop tops:
Select a western-style white or off-white crop top that complements the Kasavu saree's colour and design.
To add a contemporary touch to the Kasavu saree, wear a comfortable underskirt instead of the traditional one. Choose a fitted or flared skirt that complements the crop top and the saree's pallu.
Start draping the Kasavu saree in the regular manner, tucking one end of the saree into the underskirt and wrapping it around your waist. Make sure the saree's golden border is visible and neatly aligned.
After one complete wrap, take the remaining length of the saree, which is the pallu, and bring it over your shoulder. Tuck it into the underskirt at the waist, leaving the pallu to fall gracefully over your arm.
Now, wear the crop top and adjust it so that it falls just above the saree's pallu. Ensure the crop top complements the saree's colour and design.
Add modern accessories like statement earrings, bracelets, rings, brooches as mentioned above, to enhance the fusion look. Mix and match contemporary and traditional pieces to strike the perfect balance.
[2] Layering with Jackets:
Select a beautiful kasavu saree with a gold-bordered white or off-white base. The length of the saree should be enough to drape it comfortably and leave some fabric for layering.
Opt for an ethnic jacket or cape in a complementary color and design. Jackets in vibrant hues like royal blue, deep red, or emerald green work exceptionally well with kasavu sarees. Ensure the jacket's length doesn't exceed the saree's pallu, so it enhances the overall look without overpowering it.
Drape the kasavu saree in your preferred style, such as the traditional Kerala style or the more contemporary seedha-pallu drape. Make sure the pleats are neatly arranged and the pallu is hanging gracefully over your shoulder.
Gently slide the ethnic jacket over your arms, making sure the jacket's shoulder seam aligns with your shoulders. You can either let the jacket fall naturally around your arms or slightly gather it on your shoulder for a more structured look.
If the jacket has hooks, buttons, or ties, fasten it lightly to hold it in place. Avoid tightening it too much, as it should still allow some movement and fluidity.
Enhance the outfit with appropriate accessories like traditional gold jewellery, jhumkas, bangles, and statement neck-pieces. Opt for footwear that complements the colors of the saree and jacket while ensuring comfort.
Take a moment to check your reflection and make any necessary adjustments to the drape or the jacket to ensure everything looks perfect.
Try different hairstyles to complement the fusion look. You can opt for a chic bun, a messy braid, or loose waves to add an extra touch of modernity to the overall appearance. The key to pulling off this fusion style is confidence. Embrace the unique combination of a Kasavu saree and a stylish crop top with pride, and you'll undoubtedly become a fashion trailblazer this Onam.
This Onam, embrace your individuality and break free from the shackles of conventional fashion. Let your creativity run wild as you weave a contemporary twist into your Onam outfits. Blend tradition with modernity, and set new trends that define the modern woman's style. Be bold, be unique, and celebrate Onam with a fashionable roar!
