Sarees are for everyone! Fluid and flowy, they allow you to flaunt your free spirit. After all, a saree is all about giving shape to something that has no shape of its own!
Be quirky! Make some colours your staples, choose a key accessory, find flattering blouse styles, drape a special way, get going with glorious handlooms, experiment with your hair, pair with a western top, play with bindis – just about anything.
Unlike popular belief, being quirky doesn’t equate ONLY to crazy colors, funny prints or in-your-face choices. Instead, it’s as simple as being modern, different, unique, special or anything you choose to!
Still confused? We bring you some amazing inspirations to help you cultivate your own quirky saree style.
