Ready to turn heads at your next event? Let’s explore 5 saree draping styles that anyone can master!
1. The Classic Nivi Drape (Traditional Look)
Best for: Daily wear, weddings, temple visits
Perfect with: Jalpari’s Jacquard, Silk, or Chanderi sarees
The Nivi style is the most common and easiest draping technique. Originating in Andhra Pradesh, this is the style most seen in homes and functions.
How to wear it:
Start tucking the saree into your petticoat from the right side.
Wrap one full circle around your waist.
Make 6-7 neat pleats and tuck them at the navel.
Drape the remaining pallu over the left shoulder.
Pro tip: Use a contrast blouse and belt to modernize the look.
2. The Gujarati Drape (Front-Pallu Style)
Best for: Festivals like Navratri, weddings, garba nights
Perfect with: Heavy border sarees from our traditional collection
Popular in Gujarat and Rajasthan, this style shows off the pallu more prominently, making it ideal for sarees with detailed embroidery.
How to wear it:
Follow the same pleating as the Nivi drape.
Bring the pallu from the back to the front and place it over your right shoulder.
Spread the pallu neatly in front and secure with a brooch or pin.
Pro tip: Pair it with oxidized jewelry and bangles to complete your festive look.
3. The Modern Belted Saree (Contemporary Chic)
Best for: Parties, brunches, influencer-style fashion shoots
Perfect with: Jalpari’s Georgette, Satin, or Net sarees
One of the hottest trends in fashion today is the belted saree — fusing Indian elegance with a touch of the West.
How to wear it:
Drape your saree as usual in the Nivi style.
Use a stylish belt around your waist over the pallu.
This secures your saree and adds a structured silhouette.
Pro tip: Pair with a full-sleeve blouse or crop top for a fashion-forward vibe.
4. The Bengali Drape (Double Pallu Elegance)
Best for: Cultural events, Durga Puja, formal photoshoots
Perfect with: Jalpari’s Cotton Silk or Traditional handloom-inspired sarees
This drape gives a majestic look and is typically worn with traditional red-and-white sarees but looks amazing with other bold colors too.
How to wear it:
Make wide pleats and drape the pallu around both shoulders.
You can tie a key ring or accessory at the edge of the pallu for a traditional finish.
Pro tip: Keep your hair in a bun and wear a bindi and red lipstick for full effect.
5. The Pant-Style Saree (Fusion for Millennials)
Best for: Fashion events, college farewells, Indo-western functions
Perfect with: Jalpari’s lightweight sarees like Chiffon or Satin
A bold and youthful style that combines the saree with pants, leggings, or dhotis instead of a petticoat.
How to wear it:
Drape the saree over pants and secure it with safety pins.
Leave the pallu long and flowing over one shoulder.
Skip the pleats if you want a more relaxed boho style.
Pro tip: Accessorize with heels, a crop top blouse, and chunky silver jewelry.
💖 Tips for All Saree Drapes
Always steam or iron your saree for crisp pleats.
Wear a well-fitting blouse to complement your drape.
Use safety pins strategically to prevent wardrobe mishaps.
Invest in stylish belts and trendy blouses to add variety.
