Comfort and ease are now the two deciding factors for purchasing everyday
workwear for women. Today, saree has a lot of categorization to choose from for

with the daily commute, work stress, running around etc.
But the times are changing. Women are getting to know that sarees are the
perfect outfits for any day or any occasion. Saree has always been on top

Rock a saree every day
When we think about dressing for everyday wear, the first outfit that comes
to your mind when someone says women’s everyday wear- suits, Chic skirts,
Dresses, Salwar kameez or Jeans. Sometimes, our mind craves the image of a
saree, the quintessential traditional Indian attire.
When picking a saree for everyday wear, remember it should not be a source of
obstruction at work but should try to blend in with the circumstances yet stand
out in its simple elegance. All work place, regardless of the nature of the
job, will expect you to dress professionally. So depending upon your working
environment, you can opt for a serene or more stylish look.
There are a few other aspects you need to keep in mind when choosing a saree
for everyday wear.
A style for the day
During the day, you can pick sarees in light shades of yellow, pink, blue,
or pastel shades. For corporate events or any celebration at night, you can go
for sarees in deeper shades such as brown, red or even black.
Weather condition
India is a country wretched with extreme weather conditions. However, we
have a collective of sarees, something for every weather. During summers, it’s
good to prefer your pretty and crisp cotton sarees, while in winter, you can
opt for different types of silk or georgette in different patterns and designs.
In winter, enhance your saree look by pairing it with attractive shawls or give
it a fashionable spin with scarves and jackets.
How to manage a daily wear saree
Nothing can beat the elegance of a saree, but it also needs to be carried
with much grace and confidence. Mostly we all might have an experience of a
saree mishap where either they have tripped over their pleats and torn or
undone it. Be comfortable wearing a saree for everyday wear by checking out the
below hacks to avoid these discomforts.
Selection of the right fabric
Since satins are slippery at times, one can opt for beautiful silk, chiffon
or georgette instead. Also, avoid heavy embellishments to keep away from
discomfort for long-duration wear.
Balance your pallu
Make sure the pallu length is
according to your height and not too short as it will look clumsy. Also, avoid
extra-long pallus that let you trip
on them.
Always keep a pin or two handy
Pin the inner border of your pallu discreetly at your shoulder with a tiny
pin so that you will never drop your pallu again.
Tieing the saree
Well, you may love to try the low-waist look tried by influencers or actors,
usually, what happens is the saree and the petticoat will start
edging downwards. Also be more careful if you have narrow hips, as the chances
of the saree slipping are higher.
Making proper pleats is important
Form wider pleats to have lesser folds of cloth near your feet. The more
folds, the more dainty and complicated it becomes to carry the saree.
It’s time to accept the saree as everyday wear. After all, the Indian saree
can never go out of style and will complement your beauty perfectly,
transforming your mundane daily chore of choosing the right outfit into a
delightful experience.
