Black Blouses
Our most useful colour
The one colour we'd never be without
If you buy one blouse this year, we'd make it black. It pairs with more sarees than any other colour, from a red Banarasi to a pastel chiffon. And it works for a weekday, a cocktail party and a wedding evening alike.
For evenings there are black sequins in sleeveless, cap sleeve, U-neck, bustier and wrap styles, plus a leaf lace corset with straps. Velvet comes in a regent style with sleeves and the femme noir with net. On traditional days, reach for the black brocade, the gota stripe or the black Aangi with gold zari.
Black frames colour beautifully. Try it with a hot pink or mustard saree for a Diwali party, or with gold tissue on Karva Chauth night. The Ulta Pulta reversible in black and gold gives you two finishes in one piece.
Under a sheer saree, our padded structured styles mean no dark strap showing through. For a full black look, browse our black sarees. Our sequin blouses have more shine to choose from.
