Red Net Saree - Less Yash Chopra and More Karan Johar Style

Red is not just the colour of love but also a colour we love. But do we wear enough of the colour we love? Most often we turn red down thinking of it as too formal or too bride like. Why? Why are there so many pre-conceived notions attached to the colour red? We do not think as much before picking an orange saree, then why red? These are some questions that we have been struggling with for the longest period.

The reason designers avoid this colour palette in their designs other than bridal collection is because they are aware of women’s apprehensiveness over choosing red. While we wanted to bust the myths, we realised why not so something better. A red saree might sound very bride-like, but does a red net saree sound as much bride like.

Well, we hope not because we have curated a list of the best red net sarees that won’t be too much to wear to a function.

Our exclusive list contains different kinds of red net saree that do not just break the mould or bust the myth but also prove to be an extremely stylish choice for a woman who is not the bride.

And for those of you who are the bride, well it is just going to a double bonanza for you, so stop complaining. So are you ready to check the stunning red net saree out?

The Swarovski all over on the saree doesn’t just make it classier but also heavier for a more formal occasion like weddings and parties.

Styling Tip- Pair it with a colourful silk blouse that matches the tone of the red net saree and go all-in with the hair and makeup to complete the look. A pair of gold Jhumkas never harmed an attire like this, so put them on.
