7 Saree Poses Every Girl Should Know

Do you remember your first saree? Did you wrap it around until you could not walk at just 6 years old? Every Indian woman holds a special place in her heart for her mother’s favourite saree. As kids, we admire our mothers looking beautiful wearing it and hope we’ll look just as good one day.

The saree isn’t just a piece of clothing, this 6-9 yards of fabric holds stories of tradition and culture. From the streets of India to the global runway, the saree gives a statement look.

While wearing the saree is hard, posing in one is even harder. Today, when even a good breakfast gets shared on social media, a saree deserves a good post too. With the prettiest saree and minimalistic makeup, you can achieve a gorgeous look. Together, we will look at 7 different saree poses for girls to get the perfect shot.

1.   Saree Pose With a Subtle Downward Face

This saree pose doesn’t need you to be a professional model, as it is easily doable. To truly shine in a saree, all it takes is a genuine, warm smile. When you blend that with the elegance of a beautiful saree, the result is sheer perfection.

Move through the day with a touch of grace, as if you're immersed in something truly special. Whether you find yourself seated or standing, this look will work. How you hold yourself while wearing a saree truly matters.

2.   Tucking Hair Behind the Ear Saree Pose

Here's a pose that screams 'Instagram-ready'! Just grab the balcony railing with one hand, face the camera, and let your gaze wander in the opposite direction. Tuck a strand of hair behind your ear with the other hand, as if caught in a candid moment. Voila, you're all set to capture the charm!

3.   Mirror Reflection in Saree Pose

"Let's spill a little secret – we all catch glimpses of ourselves in the mirror, right? Well, why not make it a part of your photo magic? Mirror selfies are becoming so much popular these days so why not a mirror saree pose?

Lean casually against the mirror, and look at your reflection. Mirrors can be your best friends for home photoshoots, especially when the setup is not exactly Insta-perfect. Just a heads up, though – avoid cluttering the picture with unwanted objects.

4.   Back Saree Pose

If you have long silky black hair and you want to flaunt it, this pose is meant for you. Turn away from the camera, play with your hair with your fingers and let your gorgeous self, do the rest. Try choosing a saree that complements your hair.

5.   Sit on the Floor

Go to your terrace, out in the open when the weather is right, sit on the floor, bring your legs closer and rest your hands on them. That’s it, smile and you have a beautiful saree pose.

You don’t need any props for this saree pose, just set your drapes and get ready to shine! You can also use a bedsheet with subtle patterns if you want an indoor photoshoot.

6.   A classy sit-down saree pose

This pose is a classic, take a seat, look straight ahead, away from the camera. Simple, right? Might sound a bit too simple, but the surroundings can turn this simplicity into pure elegance. The colour tones of the environment and your saree can complement each other. Try opting for pastel or cream-coloured sarees for this look.

7.   Look-away Saree Pose

Saree poses for girls can be a completely new experience. So this is yet another easy but elegant saree pose for you to try. Lean back on a door frame or any railing, look away and smile. That’s it!
