Coordinating with Her Saree (Without Twinning Exactly)
Matching outfits can look forced. Coordinating looks better. Pick a kurta from the same colour family as the saree, or one that picks up a colour from its border:
| If She's Wearing | Try This Kurta |
|---|---|
| Maroon or red Kanjivaram | Deep maroon or wine |
| Mustard or yellow saree | Cream, or a mustard kurta for haldi |
| Bottle green or emerald | Emerald green, or cream with green embroidery |
| Pink or rani pink | Wine, or onion pink |
| Purple or wine | Grey, or deep maroon |
