Trend alert!
Given that printed saris are more elevated than solid saris and comfier than embellished saris, you would think that they would get a lot of love. Yet, most women do not own a printed sari, which is weird considering how versatile they are. If you are one of those women who do not own one, we are here to hopefully convince you otherwise, because they are too pretty to miss out on.
With Diwali upon us, you are sure to be planning your festive outfits right now. If you like your festive outfits fuss-free, consider a printed sari, because embellished saris can feel heavy and cumbersome. Just accessorize it well, wear some nice jewellery, and you look stunning while feeling comfy.
Not to mention, simple printed saris are a great option for everyday work outfits. There’s no reason not to embrace the charm of a sari in your everyday work wardrobe. (Think: Rani Chatterjee from Rocky aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani). Corporate girlies, think about it.
You can also pick more elevated printed saris for wedding festivities. The options are endless!
If you want to wear a printed sari this festive season instead of an embellished one but without compromising on opulence, this JJ Valaya sari is just what you need. It has a beautiful, intricate geometric print all over it, and we also really like the puffed sleeves; they add an extra layer of gravitas to the look.
