5 Offbeat Sarees From Celebrity Wardrobes We Are Bookmarking For Summer Weddings
Sarees are the ultimate fashion staple that every woman should have in her wardrobe. You could skip on the other classic clothing like a white shirt or a pair of denims but you def gotta have a saree in your closet. It’s no more just an occasion wear and has officially elevated to becoming the most coveted partywear, casualwear and even workwear clothing. It’s one outfit that could be as sanskari or sexy as you want it. I mean if Ariana Grande was desi, she would have picked this gorgeous piece of clothing to meet his mamma on a Sunday and make a lotta love on a Monday. Talking about events you could wear it for, a summer wedding is the perfect occasion to pull out that six yards of elegance and get some serious #SendRishta selfies on Instagram, since it’s an aunty-free zone where no one actually sends you rishtas.

For all the newbies and lazy girls out there who find making pleats harder than calculus, we get you. It is hard and needs skills and patience for perfecting the pleats. But why go through so much trouble when you can get a chic saree with pleats pre-stitched. All you have to do is wrap it around and get going in minutes. These one-minute sarees are a life saviour that make sarees an effortless outfit.
Printed saree

Your mom must have a dozen printed sarees as her everyday wear but we doubt she owns a printed saree for a special occasion. That’s because this is a fairly new trend in the Indian wear category and much like printed lehengas, a printed saree too is the hottest style for summer. It is so much more manageable, minimal and sophisticated for a wedding, especially a day wedding.
Sequined saree

The sequins just add to the dazzling look which makes it perfect for a night event. Keep your jewellery minimal, maybe wear a choker necklace and studs but that’s all you need with this saree that’s a party in itself.

Embellishments and rich zari work not your thing? For women who are more into sublime sartorial choices when it comes to picking wedding wear, rather than bling and shimmer, this is one cool saree style you’d love. It has a frilly skirt underneath and an embroidered pocket that works BTW. A saree with a pocket? That’s the dream right, especially in a wedding where your ulterior motive is to eat and dance like there’s no tomorrow? Yeah, it’s perfect!
