It often happens that people spend thousands of rupees on buying expensive sarees, but pay no attention to the blouses. But an imperfect and ill-fitting blouse can ruin  your entire look.

Nowadays, blouses can be the centre of attraction. While you are online shopping for sarees, also browse through the hundreds of designer blouses on Rediff.com.

A simple rule to remember when shopping for blouses is to pair a heavily embroidered saree with a plain blouse, and a plain saree with a sequinned and embellished blouse.

Here is a look at some of the latest designs!

Sparkly Embroidered Blouse

Do you have a dull plain saree sitting in your cupboard for months? You can't give it away as it was a gift, and you can't wear because it is way too boring for you! Well, the perfect solution is to buy a heavily embroidered blouse to go with the saree. A sparkling coloured blouse will completely glam up your look, drawing attention towards the intricate embroidery of the blouse.

Halter neck blouses may seem unusual to you. However, if you have an adventurous fashion sense, they you must wear one with a saree. Summer weddings can be less torturous with this designer cut. Wear ethnic attire, without having to cover up your shoulders and arms. Perfect for city girls!

When it comes to contemporary designs, sleeves are getting shorter and backs are getting deeper. To break away from the trend, try out a high neck blouse. With heavy embroidery around the neckline, you won't need to wear a necklace. A simple saree and jhumkas will complete your look.

Jacket Sleeved Blouse

Yet another latest style are jacket sleeved blouses. A short-sleeved embellished jacket is added on top of the traditional blouse to add some glamour and break the monotony. This winter, you won't have to worry about freezing at weddings any longer. You will look stylish, plus you will stay warm!

Having a variety of blouses is always a good idea. Mix and match with your sarees, depending on the occasion. You will never repeat your look and nor will you ever get bored!
