The best way to rock a formal saree look is to be comfortable, effortlessly chic and show your attitude and poise. Embrace your ‘boss lady’ image and dress to impress.
Cotton sarees are the top choice as professional office wear sarees. Lightweight, comfortable, and breathable are the attributes that make a crisp cotton saree the top choice for work wear. And Handloom being such a strong part of India, we should more often introduce the beautiful handwoven beauties to our fellow coworkers from different nationalities. Styling saree at the office is easy but, carrying it well is difficult for the youth. Youth is very conscious of not showing much skin.
Here are few Tips to pull off the casual saree look at work.
- Drape the saree in a way which is suitable for a professional look. It should not be tied too low or too high.
- Amp up the formal look by adding on a jacket or long coat.
- Accessorise with a string of pearls or a thin chain. Wearing chunky jewellery can be distracting.
- Choose the right footwear between a formal pair of peep toe shoes, wedge-heeled sandals or elegantly designed heels or simple flats if you prefer to go very comfortale.

- Keep your south Indian silks and embroidered crepes and chiffons for business dinners.
- Last but not least, Style is in the attitude you carry and never in the clothes you wear. And remember wearing a saree is not a big deal. wear it and forget it.
