Styling Tips for Full Sleeves Blouses
Before you dive into the gallery of full sleeve blouse designs for lehenga, saree and other desi drapes, we have some of the essential style tips answered by Indian's renowned luxury bridal stylist, Rashi M Kapur, who talks about styling full sleeve blouse designs right for all Indian seasons, accessorising and more. Find out what she has to say:
1. What types of full-sleeve blouse designs are trending in 2025?
Full sleeve blouses are always in, but what’s new is that the designers are doing them with a twist now, like cutwork blouses or off-shoulder full-sleeved blouses instead of the simple sleeved styles.
2. What type of sarees go best with full-sleeve blouses?
I like a little skin show in any outfit to balance the look. So if the sleeves are fully covered, it could be paired nicely with a net saree pleated on the shoulder rather than kept fully open. This would make the look more compact and a complete head-turner stunning!
3. What are the best fabrics for full-sleeve blouses in warmer weather?
Remember that in the summer season, full-sleeve saree blouse designs can make the wearer feel hot and sweaty, and net and georgette are great fabrics to keep wearability light and more comfortable.
4. How can I layer a full-sleeved blouse with my lehenga/saree during colder months?
If you have always wanted to include velvet silhouettes in your bridal trousseau, full-sleeve blouse designs for sarees in velvet can be an ideal addition. You can also include a beautiful cashmere or pashmina shawl for warmth in your Indian attire.
5. How do I choose the right neckline for a full-sleeved blouse?
I usually prefer a more open neckline for a full-sleeve designer blouse, such as wide square, open round or a deep plunging V-neck to add some skin to the look.
6. How can I accessorise a full-sleeved blouse with a saree or lehenga?
Depending on the neckline, you can accessorize it with either a choker or a long haar. Honestly, all kinds of jewellery go well with a full-sleeve blouse.
7. Are full-sleeve blouses suitable for all body types?
Absolutely. I think sleeves give you dimension and add character to an outfit. Now, designers are doing innovative sleeve styles, such as bell or tasseled sleeves, to go with Indian drapes. However, the right fit and cut can be determined based on the body type.
8. How do you balance a heavy lehenga with a full-sleeved blouse?
A full-sleeve blouse and lehengas combination can look very regal if styled right. This combination can be paired with a lighter dupatta to make the look more dainty and probably a choker to balance overall look.
