How to Choose Best Two Color Sarees?

In this classic saree style, the primary hue remains as the base and the second hue is infused to highlight the details of the saree.

When we say details, it could be the border work, prints, patters and other interesting elements made on the saree to make it more fashion forward.

If such interesting details are etched on the saree on a contrasting color to the base, you will find your saree taking up an entire new dimension.
