Sarees are always available with a readymade blouse or a cloth piece that can be stitched as per your style but winters are not for blouses made of silk, cotton, or any normal fabric. Thus, choose warm sweaters to stay warm and give your look a new twist. Mock-neck, turtle-neck, and round-neck sweaters will do the job well. You can always have a black and white sweater to go with all colors or contrast has never been out of fashion.

You need to choose a trench coat that fits and has a perfect blend of function and fashion to strike a balance between chic and practical winter looks. You can always pin trenches with a broach or heavy jewelry to elevate the look.

Shawls are easy to since they are light and warm. You can also try out stoles as an interesting variation on your sarees.
5. Denim is evergreen when it comes to fashion and we have seen it in fashion for decades. People find a way or two to utilize denim in their style quotient.
