We bet that you will be surprised at how similar they actually are! This happens because it is a common mind-set to equate a red saree blouse with very traditional kind of fashion.

Red is a color that forms the best background for gold. Zari embroidery is an Indian art that can rarely be seen these days. So to give your regular red saree blouse look a strong ethnic twist you can get one with zari embroidery, just like the one in the picture. The embroidery is minimal and this is the reason why the design stands out.
11. The Gujarati Choli

When it comes to styles close to the Indian soil, colors like red, orange, brown, mustard etc work like magic. Bandhni and mirror work hails from Gujarat and the saree blouse in the picture is in fact a choli that can be worn both with a lehenga skirt or a saree. Such cholis have tie-up closure at the back which ensures a clean look in the front. Those of you who prefer to wear plain, solid sarees with just a border can opt for such a blouse.
12. The Red Ikkat Blouse

Want to wear a red saree blouse on a hot day? Yes, blouses with zari or brocade work will make you sweat a lot. Instead, we suggest that you go for a cotton blouse preferably with block print designs. This looks really great with cotton sarees like dhakai jamdani, Odisha cottons etc. It may also go well with tussar sarees.
Experimental Styles Blouses
21. The Halter Neck Batik Blouse
thebohobaalika
We have considered this as an experimental piece because it combines a traditional style with a contemporary cut – it is a batik blouse shaped like a halter-neck crop top. The fabric is batik– an art hailing form Shantiniketan of West Bengal. The batikart involves the creation of designs by using melted wax on fabric and then immersing the fabric in color.
The parts that are covered in wax remain uncoloured. Later when the fabric is again immersed in warm water to wash off the wax, the designs come alive. Here, the batik blouse has been paired with a dhakai saree.
22. The Tie-Up Closure

Most saree blouses come with hook-and-eye closures in the front. This ensures a good fit but is incapable of giving a clean look in the front. To bring in variation in the closure and to ensure that both the front and the back of the blouse look equally elegant, you can go for this kind of a red saree blouse.
The printed red cotton fabric goes well with the style. The sleeves come in a different print and the tie-up strings in a black print give the blouse a boho look.
23. The Top-Style Red Blouse

A gamchhamay be available in various types but the most popular and widely available are those that have red checks on a white surface. The gamchha was popularized in the fashion industry by Bangladeshi fashion designer Bibi Russell. Here a blouse made up of the same type of fabric or one resembling a gamchha has been paired with a Habaspuri Saree of Odisha.
