Everyone knows how to wear it in a regular way. But wouldn’t it be fun to spice things up by adding a few twists? This is definitely an exciting possibility. Here are some latest trends in Sarees that are very in vogue these days.
Traditional or Nivi Style
The ‘Navi’ style of draping a saree is the traditional form which most people wear day in and day out. The roots of this style is in Andhra Pradesh and has been adopted by women across the country. It is versatile, making it a universal choice.
Lehenga Style
Are you wondering about what to wear for a function or where you need to wear ethnic attire? The lehenga style saree would be an excellent choice as it is very fashionable. Well, you can be sure that you will be a head-turner. There are pre-stiched sets that are easily available in the market as well. And it goes without saying that is is a perfect option if you want to show off your curves and save the trouble of actually draping a saree!
The Retro Double Drape/Mumtaz Style
Mumtaz set a trend in the 80s’ with the way she draped her saree in the song ‘Aaj Kal Tere Mere PyarKe Charche’. Ever since then this style has always been a look that fashionistas have resorted to when they have a retro-look in mind. It is an excellent choice if you want to flaunt your figure.
Mermaid Style
To give a look of the mermaid gown, this style is worn to accentuate curves at the hip section and give a flare at the bottom. The trick to nail this flattering dressing style is to leave out the pleats in the waist. As a result, it will look like a skirt at the bottom and has a slimming effect as well.
Butterfly Style
One of the hottest trends in B-town right now is the butterfly draping style. It is a simple twist of the traditional style where the pleated pallu is very thin exposing the navel. Now this trending style is the best choice if you plan to go to a party or a function.
Saree with Pants
Brought into Indian fashion by our very own Anamika Khana,this is one of the indo-western styles of draping a saree
The Northern Style
Also known as Floating style, this is one of the most popular casual styles to drape a Saree in. It is a simple style where you drape the saree the common traditional way with pleats in the front and keep the pallu open along your shoulder as well as your arm.
Short Floating Style
A little modification, you can keep the palla pleated a little on your your elbow to keep your arms free.
Bengali Drape/ Double Border Drape Style
Bengali drape keeping the palla loose right from the bottom and drape it all through the front.
Dhoti Style
Another indo-western design, this style evolved from the traditional Marathi saree. To make it easy, the saree is draped over dhoti pants.
