I am currently obsessing over sarees, the fact that the festive season is up and coming has something to do about it. So, I have put on trend-spotting glasses and focussed my eyes on the fashion weeks, glossy mags to scour the oven-fresh trends. Of all the ethnic trends, the saree is my absolute favorite, I love the fact that I can twirl and drape one around me and voila I manage to put together an effortless look. The beauty of a saree is you can wear it just the way you want to wear it. At least the trends today vouches for the fact, you can ditch the age-old norms and make it your own. While classic sarees will always, remain a universal favorite, young girls are also enamored with the latest trends scorching the ramp. You can even take a silk saree from your mother’s wardrobe and wear it with a sharara. And if you are scared of the pleats and pallus, like me, you can wear a pre-draped one and forget all about your pleats all over you.
