Choosing a saree for the occasion

The right saree is part fabric, part colour and part how long you’ll be wearing it. A few simple guides help.

Weddings

Rich silks and silk blends in deep reds, wines, greens and golds are timeless. Zari borders and pallus catch the light in photographs. For a long day, a lighter silk blend is kinder than a heavy pure silk.

Festivals

Bright colours and festive weaves suit pujas and family gatherings. Georgette and chiffon with zari or sequin work feel celebratory without the weight.

Office

Cotton, linen and crepe keep their shape through a working day. Choose solid colours or small prints, keep pleats slim and pin the pallu so your hands stay free.

Evenings and parties

Satin, sequinned georgette and embellished chiffon bring shine for receptions and parties. Darker shades like black, navy and emerald look striking at night.
