The structured drape gives the outfit a smart turn and is well suited to even a formal dinner. Keep the accesories and make up to a bare minimum, to let your outfit do all the talking.

Fitting reply: Even if you opt for a banarasi festive saree, a fresh white shirt with a green banarasi can be refreshing and comfortable in a hot summer when all that zaree might make you sweat. However, remember to pick a well fitted shirt if your saree drape is going to be an easy one. You don't want to look like you got dressed in a hurry.

Workin girl vibe: However with chiffon sarees which are much easier to handle, you may opt for a baggy white shirt and roll up your sleeves for that cool girl vibe. A shirt with double breast pockets will add to the working girl vibe without looking too hastily put together.

This should be ideal for your - tie the tails of your shirt into a double bow around your natural waist and tuck it back in to flaunt your midriff.
