One of the most exciting things to happen in the world of fashion in India in the recent past has to be the rebirth of the sari.
With handloom and textiles coming to the fore at fashion week, and designers going back to traditional forms, coupled with the fact that, as a style, they are eternal and the embodiment of India, mean that saris have moved out from the trousseau and into the real world.
Gone are the days when saris were meant strictly for weddings and older women.
Designers today are going back to our roots and focussing all their energy on highlighting the richness of our culture, but in a contemporary, relatable way.
This translates into extremely wearable and comfortable creations.
And just to further prove this point, we have curated a list of summery saris that would fit perfectly into your summer wardrobe, so that you can seamlessly add this iconic garment and make a desi style statement.
