Black is a colour which is globally loved by many. Whether it be a dress, a top or a saree, black seems to be the top choice for many people. In India, the trend of black sarees has been rising constantly. After all, who could resist the enduring appeal of the black colour? A black saree is literally all you want a saree to be. It evokes beauty, class, elegance and sensuality at the same time. It makes anyone who wears it extremely attractive and appealing. It is also very versatile since it is perfect for any event, be it a party, a wedding or an office hangout. A black saree is the ultimate showstopper outfit. No wonder it is the top choice for girls to look more youthful and classy.

Black Sarees Are a Trend Nowadays

Bollywood has greatly helped in starting the trend of black sarees. Bollywood actresses have been known to set off fashion trends since time immemorial, and the same can be said for the black saree. From Deepika Padukone to Sobhita Dhulapila, all of Bollywood’s beautiful actresses have adorned the black saree on several red carpet events showcasing the colour’s timeless elegance and beauty.

Even the Top Choice for Many Models

Many Indian models have also done multiple photoshoots wearing this black beauty. This is because a black saree has a very slimming effect on the body, along with its sensuality and mesmerising effect. Pair it with a light fabric and you get a perfect saree to hug your silhouette and make you look amazing.

Styling Tips for Black Sarees

A black saree is itself such a beautiful dress that too much accessorising or decorations would overpower its look. A simple gold border on the pallu would look so elegant. You can keep the jewellery simple. Sport some artificial gold jewellery or oxidised jewellery to make the black colour pop out. However you can go a little crazy and experiment with different colours! Try out some red, green or blue studded jewellery to create a bold and unique look. Black sarees are also available in a ton of different fabrics like net, georgette, chiffon, etc. A net black saree would look superbly sensual!

Black is the type of colour that goes with almost every other colour. So you can experiment with as many different colours as you want. To keep it simple, you can just wear a simple black sleeveless blouse with a deep neck and back. Or you can go big with a blouse of contrasting colour, like even white. The monochrome colours would go together perfectly!

As for the makeup, simple is the way to go. Nowadays the trending makeup looks are contouring and nude makeup looks. So, pop on a winged eyeliner and some red lipstick and dazzle everyone who comes your way!

Heels look amazing on a saree. Black, nude and golden footwear go best with a black saree.

Blouse Designs

Blouse designs can be endless. But what goes best with black is a simple blouse. A simple black sleeveless blouse evokes a lot of class and elegance. Or you can go with a high-collared neck and full sleeves for a more professional look. Even more so, you can go for a golden blouse with golden tassels and a deep back for the ultimate party look!

Hair Accessories

One of the most beautiful hairstyles is to let your hair open of course. This looks even more gorgeous with a black saree. You can add some accessories like a golden clip or hair band. Or you can do a half up-half down hairstyle using a golden or black clutches. This hairstyle screams effortless style.

Reading all these tips would be a waste if you didn’t get a black saree for yourself and styled it in your own unique way.
