The beauty of Indian Sari


Sari is an epitome of Indian beauty from ages. Indian saris are beautiful and gorgeous and have captured the hearts of millions of people all over the world. Indian sari is the mark of cultural and regional diversity of our country.

Sari is derived from a Sanskrit word ‘sati’ which means a ‘strip of cloth’. It has several types and can be draped in several styles like : 

  • Nivi- worn in Andhra Pradesh                     
  • Bengali and Omiya style
  • Gujarati style 
  • Maharashtrian
  • Kodagu of Karnataka
  • Malayali in kerala
With liberalization and changing global market sari’s are re emerging in new innovative designs and trends in different fabrics, embroidered, beaded and many more.. Another emerging trend is love for designer saris. We all are turning to top designers; no doubt they add a brand value to the sari collection and to your wardrobe. There are prints, floral, bold prints, graphics and images, geometric patterns. Ethnic and tribal flair are fabulous for adding an extra zing! to your personality. Plain saris with beautiful sequined borders and retro blouses are a mix of contemporary styling and an addition to glamour quotient..

Try out your color palette. Pastels, pinks, reds, and oranges are always classic but you can also opt for much bolder color choices. Experiment with deep saturated hues of your favorite colors..

Tips for sari shopping:

  • Decide the purpose of shopping. Don’t go for impulsive buying.
  • Plan your budget.
  • Decide the shops you want to give a look.
  • Select colors which best suites you. Don’t go for colors in fashion as each individual have own color palettes. 
  • Color which suits you most will lift your face, eyes and hair.
  • If you have a broad heavy, body frame opt for sheer fabrics like chiffon and Georgette which will give you a slim look.
  • If you want to look tall avoid big prints, broad borders. Go for plains, geometric patterns with small or no border. Vertical stripes can also be a good option.
  • If you want to look short go for dark colors with big and broad borders.
  • Accessorize your attire with a piece of necklace and earrings and try new innovative styles of sari draping…
  • Designer fitting blouses can add an extra glamour to your entire look.
Happy Sari Shopping!!!!!!!
