Embellished South Indian blouse designs, like Tamannaah Bhatia’s, are renowned for their elegance. They often feature intricate zardozi, beadwork, mirrors, and pearls. These blouses are commonly paired with rich silk sarees, such as Kanjeevaram, and showcase motifs such as peacocks and temple designs. Zardozi work, using gold or silver threads, adds a regal touch to the sleeves and neckline, making these blouses perfect for weddings and grand occasions. The intricate detailing brings a sense of opulence and traditional charm to any saree ensemble.

2.Blouse with borders

South Indian blouse designs with borders, like Sobhita Dhulipala’s, feature intricate designs of zari work, temple designs, as well as thread work along the sleeves, back, and neckline. These designs are perfectly tailored for Kanjeevaram and silk sarees. The border accents bring a classic style that is suitable for occasions such as weddings and festivals. Complete the look with a heavily embroidered silk sari and antique temple jewelry, like jhumkas or even several strings of necklaces. A very sleek hairstyle should be sported to draw attention to the exquisite borders of the blouse.

3.Solid color blouse

A solid color blouse paired with a South Indian saree like Mrunal Thakur’s offers a minimalist yet elegant look, allowing the saree's intricate details to shine. This combination works especially well with richly woven silk sarees like Kanjeevaram, where the blouse's simplicity contrasts beautifully with the saree's heavy borders and pallu. Choose a solid blouse in a contrasting or complementary hue to the saree. Pair with traditional jewelry, such as gold jhumkas or a temple necklace, and style your hair in a sleek bun or braid to create a balanced, sophisticated look. 

4.Blouse design in contrasting color

A blouse that does not match the saree, for example, wearing the blue blouse with the red saree, makes the blouse and the individual wearing it more appealing. Such contrasts are appreciated for both the blouse and saree, which makes the combination striking and attractive. For instance, Rashmika's outfit consists of a blue blouse and a red saree, and both colors beautifully complement each other while adding a modern touch to the ethnic wear.

One can wear a plain or slightly embroidered blue blouse with a heavy border or embroidery work to match with the red sari. Gold temple jewelry, such as heavy bangles and ear tops, is paired along with a bun hairstyle decorated with flowers to achieve a suitable and celebratory look. 

5.A patterned blouse

The intricate lace details add a contemporary touch while retaining traditional charm, making it perfect for festive occasions and weddings. You can pair lace-patterned blouses with contrasting or complementary silk sarees or half sarees. Accessorize with traditional jewelry like a statement necklace or jhumkas and a stack of bangles like Aditi Rao Hydari. You can style your hair in soft waves or a bun, adorned with fresh flowers to highlight the blouse.

6.Backless blouse

You can pair the blouse with a woven silk saree or kanjeevaram saree and add some gajras to your hair for a more traditional look.
