Nothing’s more glamorous than a well-fitting blouse paired with a flowy saree, especially during the wedding season. But with design and cut options galore, we know it’s a bit of a task to finalise the perfect blouse. So we asked Binks, India’s first personal fashion company for women, to share their wisdom with us. If you're confused about how a particular style will look on you or what it should be paired with, the Binks team has done the heavy lifting for you, and curated a list of ten absolutely stunning blouse styles (that they can tailor-make for you too)! 

Corset-style Blouse

"Taking inspiration from the recently released movie, Ponniyin Selvan and its stunning styling, our number one spot goes to the corset-style blouse design – the style was embraced by the stunning Trisha in multiple frames. Binks has taken on the traditional silhouette and added a new twist to it, by creating the Nargis blouse. Nargis is a corset-style blouse that comes with a comfy elastic back."

Best Paired With: Style it with a sequin saree for a glam look or a pair of high-waist trousers for an understated vibe.

LBB's Picks: Cotton Story Black Corset Blouse, Swtantra Gold Leaf Bustier Blouse

Smart Collared Blouse

"Want to add the element of sophistication to an ethnic ensemble? A collared blouse is the way to go. Keep it simple with a sleeveless blouse or add a little flair with ruffled sleeves." We couldn't agree more. This style is something you can choose for any occassion while looking fab in a saree!

Best Paired With: A crisp cotton saree is a great match for this blouse style.

LBB's Picks: House Of Blouse Kalamkari Chinese Collar Blouse, Triyah Grandeur Silky Shirt Blouse, Chidiyaa Red Shawl Collar Silk Blouse.

Elegant Sleeveless Blouse

"One can never go wrong when keeping it simple yet elegant with a classic sleeveless blouse. An evergreen, no-frills, simple sleeveless blouse can pair well with almost all sarees in your wardrobe. Mix and match with contrasting colours or go the monotone route, a well-tailored blouse will always fit like a second skin." This style is a must for hot and humid summers. I myself picked this style for a wedding in May and I couldn't have been more comfy!

LBB's Picks: Swtantra Black Sequin Sleeveless Blouse, Gajra Gang by Nykaa Fashion Gold Sequins Blouse, Suta Blue Silk Saree Blouse.

Deep V-neck Blouse

V-necks flatter most clothing and a blouse definitely counts. And Sabyasachi made it happen with the deep v-neck that is now everywhere. "Feeling adventurous? Take the plunge with a deep-neck blouse. You can even choose to embroider the sleeves or the neck. Have a neckpiece you want to show off? This is the blouse for you."

Best Paired With: Go for an organza saree with this style of blouse to make it fab!

LBB's Picks: House Of Blouse Beige Floral Pure Cotton V Neck Blouse, Triyah Mirror Mirror On The Wall Blouse, Swtantra Cream Kota Doria Mini Checks Blouse.

The Almost Backless Blouse

"Bring sexy back this season with an almost backless blouse. Embellish it with delicate latkhans or doris. This blouse style isn’t restrictive to just saree-wear. You can pair it with a long skirt or lehenga too for a head-turning look." Backless doesn't just make you look fab, but it's a great style to experiment with your jewellery and hair with.

Best Paired With: A saree with heavy work or zari like a Kanjeevaram can create a beautiful contrast.

LBB's Picks: Swtantra Blue Pearl Organza Back Less Blouse, Okhai 'Pansy' Pure Cotton Purple Rabari Blouse, Suta Muffled Twilight Blouse.

Flirty Strappy Blouse

"Fun, young and playful – this strappy blouse design is an open back with straps all over to tie it together. A perfect addition to your summer wardrobe or even a beach wedding, if you ask us!" It's just so alluring and with tie-ups, you can style them in different ways. Not to forget that they are also forgiving if mithai gets to you, like it does to me!

Best Paired With: Gorgette or chiffon sarees are the choices for this blouse, for sure.

LBB's Picks: Kalki Fashion Black Backless Blouse With Criss-Cross Tie-Up, House Of Blouse Black Velvet Halter Neck Blouse.

Bow Back Blouse

"When in doubt, put a bow on it! Wouldn’t you agree? It's feminine and traditional all tied into one blouse design. While this blouse design may not be as quirky as the strappy blouse design, it still incorporates the element of fun by tying the blouse together." I love bows on blouses as they add a fun element. It's an easy way to make the blouse a statement piece if you go simple with the saree. 

LBB's Picks: Turaja Pure Dupion Silk Blouse, Suta Blush Noisette Blouse

Embroidered Blouse

"A blouse style that’s stood the test of time, is the embroidered blouse. Browse through an array of different embroidery designs that you can select for your blouse." Classics stick around for a reason! From your nani's to maa's cupboard, you'll find one embroidered blouse that just steals your heart.

Best Paired With: These go with everything from net sarees to traditional weaves.

 LBB's Picks: Chidiyaa Blue Hand Embroidered Blouse, Salwar Studio Embroidered Blouse, trueBrowns Black Velvet Embroidered Blouse.

Full Sleeves Blouse

"A chic yet modest blouse style that’s come back in 2022, is the full sleeve blouse design. Show off the fabric’s intricate prints, threadwork and embroidery by opting for this style." A personal favourite, I enjoy the allure a full-sleeved blouse creates. I like opting for net or mesh fabric for the sleeves to make it a little more special.

LBB's Picks: Swtantra Black Gold Blouse, Baise Gaba Aashi Blouse, Suta Black Zari Stripes Blouse

The Puff-Sleeve Blouse Design

"Another quirky style for those looking to try a little something out of their comfort zone. This blouse design offers you the freedom to drape a saree in different styles and even an opportunity to throw on a lehenga skirt and dupatta to refresh an old classic." This is an influencer fave and for good reasons. It just makes a statement unlike any other style.
