The festive season in the post-pandemic era has brought in new hopes and optimism. After almost two years people have now gradually started to organize festive gatherings which spread cheer.
Festivity and traditional clothing go hand in hand. The saree is the favorite choice for Indian women, specially during the festivity as it showcases elegance and grandeur of every woman.
Owing to the high demand, there is a wide variety of saree options available in the market, starting from chiffon, silk to georgette, kanjivaram, and more. Every state in India has a different saree style, however, in the current times with the ever-expanding intercultural connect, women have now begun to create their own styles and trends.
Here are the 5 trendiest traditional saree styles for this festive season:
Kanjivaram Sarees
The grandeur of Kanjivaram sarees is well-known. Weavers from Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu, design these sarees. Dip the silk threads in melted gold and silver to include the gold in the designs. Kanchipuram’s weavers are considered to be descendants of the sage Markanda (the master weaver of Gods). A Kanjivaram saree is your finest pick for any festive event.
Ikat Sarees
For Ikat sarees, the warp and weft are tie-dyed before weaving. During the tie-dye process, the knots in the beautifully woven saree are tied into the fabric. Odisha (Sambalpur) is where these sarees are manufactured with outstanding workmanship.
Bandhani Sarees
‘Bandhan’ means tying a knot. The fabric of these sarees is tied in a particular way before dyeing the fabric which gives them the desired design. Bandhani sarees are popular in Gujarat and Rajasthan as they make the most authentic Bandhani. Bright colors in the Bandhani print makes it an apt choice for festivities.
Gara saree
A traditional Parsi Gara’s timeless charm is unmistakable. The Gara sari, which is embroidered with photorealistic perfection, is unique among the country’s vast array of crafts. The magnificent style, which is mostly worn by the Parsi community for weddings and special celebrations, should not be kept hidden away for special occasions.
Petit Point embroidery
Petit point embroidery is a type of canvas embroidery that is comparable to cross-stitch embroidery but finer due to its smaller scale. At normal viewing distance, the squareness and regularity of the outlines of the forms represented are less visible. The stitch is in diagonal or horizontal rows across the intersection of the canvas threads and is also known as petit point or tent stitch. This beautiful and intricate pattern on sarees is what adds to the grace in your festive look.
