They may be half-sarees but they’re full-on fashionable

Half sarees are everywhere, be it on the silver screens or on the ramps of fashion shows, they

are just sweeping past any competition to rule of the fashion industry. No wonder! They

combine the beauty and elegance of a saree and the convenience of not having to drape them

ourselves. Designer half sarees are just flying off the shelves at a rapid pace and new and

new patterns and colour combinations are emerging.

Stores like indiarush.com, have so many in their stock that one can get dizzy and amazingly

tempted just by looking at them. They’ve become so popular that it’s difficult to stand out

since everybody has a half saree in their possession these days.

However, there are some unusual colour combinations out there that would just blow your

mind so let’s consider them, shall we?

The Grey

One of the rare gems that I recently found online was a particular half saree that combined

gun-metal grey with pale pista green. The border was a broad band of gold and the bottom

green part had gold embroidery in it. The combination, however, was the highlight. The two

shades matched so well to make such a sophisticated, modern looking saree that I had to

have it. Still, there’s something to be said about grey, which goes so beautifully well with

almost all colours. It tends to compliment all skin tones easily and is an easy shade to pull off.

For some reason, though, this colour is rare in the Indian wardrobes. When you’re looking to

buy half sarees online, be sure to search for some grey sarees. It is the one colour that

would make you stand out.

The Salmon

The salmon colour is a sort of pale, pinkish orange. Upon hearing it, you’ll think the colour is

unappealing. In fact, at first sight, you might wonder why the colour is even on this list.

Well, aside from many Bollywood A-listers preferring it, the salmon colour is one of the most

complimentary colours out there. It makes the dusky skin-tone just shine, enhancing the

beauty of the traditional Indian skin. Salmon colour can be sophisticated or playful, bright or

graceful, depending on what you combine it with.

During half saree online shopping, you might come along quite a few pieces with this

colour, be sure to consider it!

The Brown

Now, an aversion to brown is understandable. It’s a generally unappealing colour to most

and brings mud to mine. That’s the benefit of half sarees, though. You can have brown and

combine it with a colour that actually compliments it and makes it shine. Orange, for one,

goes very well with brown. Creme and brown together can look very graceful and elegant,

great for black-tie events. Brown also goes very well with teal, surprisingly, as Bipasha Basu

proved one day with a stunning brown and teal saree.

In all, don’t be afraid to experiment with non-traditional colours when you’re online

shopping for half sarees.
