HOW TO CHOOSE SAREE COLOURS FOR INDIAN SKIN TONES

Whenever you start shopping for sarees, have you ever given a thought as to what colours of the saree could suit your complexion? Choosing the right colour is an essential step before zooming on any ethnic outfit and when if it is the saree we are talking about, you have got to keep your skin tone in mind. Just like you try various shades of lipsticks before buying the perfect one for your skin tone, the same goes with sarees. India is home to a variety of skin colours. We can find here complexion from the palest colour to the darkest tone. Since every skin tone has its own charm, our choice of sarees also should be such that the colour enhances the appeal more. Heres our guide to choosing the right saree for your skin tone.

• Pale white skin tone- A clear snowy white complexion of the likes of Kareena and Karishma Kapoor characterises this type of skin tone. Without makeup, this skin colour seems as milky and white-washed. Women having this kind of skin tone shoud steer away from light pastel hued sarees and nude shades so as not to appear completely white-washed. Pop colours such as cobalt blue sarees, hot pink sarees and even tomato reds suit best with pale white complexion.

• Fair skin tone- A complexion such as this can pull off any number of colours in their outfit and still look gorgeous. Peach and cream colour best describes a fair complexion. Since, one has the advantage of looking ravishing in ensembles of any shade, pastel coloured sarees suit best with fair complexion. Mintgreen sarees, beige coloured sarees, or even darker hues such as dark green and royal purple work wonders with fair skin tone.


• Wheatish skin tone- Wheatish complexion strikes a balance between the fair and the darker tone. As the skin tone leans towards the warmer side, warmer hues in sarees such as red sarees, orange sarees or even pleasing pastel hues such as light blue, mauve, rose pink are best for wheatish complexion.

• Dark brown skin tone- With Indians nowadays becoming more accepting of this skin colour than it was earlier, models such as Lisa Haydon, Konkona Sen and Bipasha Basu have turned headights upon them for their much richer hues. Dark-skinned ladies can not only pull off darker colours such as midnight blue sarees or even burnt orange, but pastels also compliment their olive skin.

If you still can't figure out complexion specific colours for yourself, there are certain shades which work wonders with any kind of complexion. One can never go wrong with the colour black. Look at the dusky beauty Kajol or even Kareena. A black lace saree is sure to bring out your sexy side no matter what is your skin tone. If you do not want to go for block solid colours, mix and match your fabrics. A velvet and gota saree would look lovely if you want to go traditional.
