As kids wearing a saree seemed like an elaborate game of dress-up. And as we grew up, putting on the six yards of elegance became a rather tedious job with our rushed lives. So we have conveniently reserved it for festivals and other special occasions.
However, with the recent evolvement in the fashion industry, we see a lot of the younger girls embracing the traditional attire for daily wear and experimenting with it. Whether it’s wearing a sari with a blazer to work or wearing it with a corset or cropped top, they’re trying it all and we are inspired!
So, if you’re in the same boat, check out these 8 homegrown brands that have got some gorgeous saris that you can add to your daily wear wardrobe and have a little fun experimenting with!
