Pre-draped sarees that are perfect for festive season

The festive season comes with a long to-do list: card parties, family gatherings, dinners, brunches, gifts… It’s all fun and excitement until one faces the inevitable sartorial problem: What to wear? Ideally, your outfit should be comfortable, effortless, stylish and ideal for when you have a lot of places to be. Now sarees are a great option for such occasions, but draping them may not necessarily be everyone’s cup of tea. This is what makes the pre-draped sari a great option. The silhouette is as high on style as it is on comfort, and comes in various patterns and prints to match every outing. Here are some pre-draped sarees to match your sense of style. Each one can be worn throughout the festive season and even during wedding functions. Mix and match from the SVA Couture collection If heavily embroidered saris aren’t your thing, try ones with geometric prints and surface texture. They are light and high on style. Designers Sonam and Paras Modi of SVA Couture offer such sarees with corsets and full sleeve blouses. Grecian Style From the 431-88 by Shweta Kapur Collection This white pre-draped saree by 431-88 by Shweta Kapur is both modern and traditional. If the off-the-shoulder pearl blouse seems too difficult to manage, choose a beaded top, preferably white, to match the delicate drape. Banarasi bling A Banarasi sari is a classic for any festive season. Nupur Kanoi gives it an Art Deco twist with a sequin and beaded asymmetrical fringe blouse. The gold pre-draped Banarasi adds to the metallic flow of the piece. Matching brocade actor Ananya Panday in a custom pre-draped Amit Aggarwal sari Brocade, but making it modern, was Amit Aggarwal’s goal for this pre-draped sari, where the traditional pallu is delicately pleated to create a smoother drape. On the wild side By JJV.Kapurthala Animal prints are still in trend, used in everything from tops to pants. The JJV.Kapurthala brand offers a tiger print pre-draped saree. It’s lightweight, with the brand’s signature chevron trim, helping you make a bold statement in fall colors.
