A Saree is more than just nine yards of fabric, it’s an emotion for the Indian woman. From Maharani Gayatri Devi’s famous chiffon to the stylish gown-sarees on the international red carpets, India has given the world serious ethnic fashion goals with its different saree styles. However, sarees have somewhat lost their appeal to modern women as the traditional way of saree draping can get uncomfortable, especially when you’re on the go. Here’s a few offbeat saree draping styles that would take the hassle out of carrying the pleats and pallu. On your next party invite, try these modern saree draping styles to make heads turn for all the right reasons:

Twist The Top– If you want to give your saree wearing style a new dimension, just rummage through your wardrobe and find a contrasting long coat or a shirt instead of a blouse to wear with your saree. This style will come handy, especially in the winter months. For the summers, try pairing your tank tops or button-downs for an easy-breezy look.

Roaming Like The Romans– Look like a Roman goddess by draping your saree in the ancient toga style of Rome. The draping might look complicated, but it’s actually easier than the most common saree styles. The pallu pleats are kept long so that they come around the shoulder and connect with the lower part.

Grooving With The Retro Beats– Retro saree style was popularised by the yesteryear’s actresses and was a hit among women of all ages. This style can easily turn your zari border chiffon saree into a snazzy party wear. If you’re thinking how to wear the saree like this, let us guide you. The beginning is just like normal saree draping, just make sure you wrap the zari pleats one after another like the picture and keep the length of the pallu a bit longer than the usual.

Wrap Up Time– When you are in the mood for something new, but are feeling too lazy to try out different styles of saree draping, go for this one. All you need to do is to start off with your chiffon saree the regular way, but tweak it at the time you pleat the pallu. Instead of letting the pallu flow down, wrap it around your neck like a scarf and you’re all set!

Bring In The Jeans– Do you share an inseparable bond with your denims? You can now wear your favourite pair of skinny denims with your saree to add a dose of spunk in the ensemble. With pants underneath, this saree style is fuss-free and practical. The draping is usual; you just have to start it from the centre, on top of your right leg.

Dress Or Saree? Both!– Create a fusion look by draping your saree like a skirt with a thin pallu crossed over your torso. Choose a soft, flowy fabric to create seamless creases and look like a mermaid with a dash of ethnicity. Get a  top with bell sleeves to add to the drama, or keep it neat and to-the-point with a solid tank.
