The Heart of Summer Sarees: Fabric, Color & Prints
Want to discover how to look elegant in a summer saree? It just comes down to three components:
1. Fabric: Your Coolest Breathable Best Friend
There is nothing more essential than feeling comfortable in every way when the heat is on. The fabric of your saree plays a vital role in keeping you cool while looking stylish.
Linen
Want that effortless sophisticated feel? Linen, which is made from the fibers of the flax plant, is naturally comfortable.A linen saree is the ultimate in style. Few other materials are able to strike this special balance, satisfying the modern woman’s requirement for functionality without sacrificing style.
Cotton
Our summertime hero! Cotton sarees are well-known for being breathable, comfortable, and adaptable. Imagine the delicate artistry of Jamdani, the crisp texture of Khadi, or the gentle whisper of Mulmul. You can wear it anywhere from a busy workday to a casual weekend.
Chiffon & Georgette
Want the most dramatic saree? Choose either Chiffon or Georgette. You will float around the room, while your saree floats around you. Both are light and delicate, while wrapping your body in coolness and delicately draping beautiful shapes, lines and silhouettes.
2. Color: A Soothing Color Palette
Pastel Dreams
Try soft peach, minty green, lavender, baby blue, etc. They all have an instant calmness and refreshing surprise to them. To achieve a calm and fashionable summertime style, embrace these soft colors.
Elegant Neutrals
We can never go wrong with vanilla, soft beige, sandy lipstick colors, and light greys! They also wonderfully reflect sunlight too and help you be more comfortable.
Sun-Kissed Brights
For those who love to add a punch of color without much effort, stick to vibrant and muted hues like coral, mustard, or turquoise. They add cheerfulness without the overwhelming brightness of say hot pink.
A little note -you want the saree color to reflect the lightness and airiness of summer unless it is a special evening function when you’re required to wear deep black or heavy jewel tones.
3. Prints & Motifs: Natural Vibes
In summer we go for designs that are lively and connected to nature’s spirit, so avoiding big embroidery is key in my opinion.
- Fresh Florals: Floral sarees can be detailed in many meaningful ways from little cute flowers to broad artistic ones – to wear a floral saree is to wear a breath of fresh air.
- Artisan Block Prints: If you wear block prints – go for the authentic feel of the handcrafted nature of Ajrakh, Bagru or Dabu – these prints can make any saree feel relaxed and timeless.
- Simple details with minimal motifs: Example, bordering that is geometric, like temples or the simple beauty of shibori dyeing, etc. You want the design to support the drape and not dominate it.
Regional Handlooms: A Global Tapestry of Comfort
India boasts an astonishing handloom culture, with numerous sarees perfectly designed to be worn in warmer climates. Each saree tells a unique story of craftsmanship and breathability, here are just a few we love.
Chanderi
Madhya Pradesh
Light and beautifully shimmery sarees that are best for formal day events.
Jamdani
West Bengal
Incredibly light. Usually woven with intricately beautiful designs. They can be considered a traditional saree and a modern saree.
Maheshwari
Madhya Pradesh
These sarees are known for their comfort, made from silk-cotton blends. The borders are often bold and striking.
You make a fashion statement by wearing handloomed sarees, but it is also a beautiful way to support sustainable fashion, and maintain craft and skill through artful work of master weavers!
Styling Effortless Summer Chic
To finalize your summer saree look all it takes is effortless chic.
Blouses
Lightweight fabric is the key! Traditional cotton or linen blouses are ideal in sleeveless, boat-neck or around-chic cropped styles, as they allow for air circulation.
Jewelry
Summer is about less is more. A chic pair of earrings and silver cuff are the statement, or kohl-lined eyes are the thrill.
Footwear
Happy Feet! Comfort is key – Kolhapuris, slide-on, and open-toe block heels are all stylish options.
Hair
Lightweight fabric is the key! Traditional cotton or linen blouses are ideal in sleeveless, boat-neck or around-chic cropped styles, as they allow for air circulation.
?Pro Tip
For maximum comfort and sleekness substitute heavier petticoats with lighter, looser ones, or try modern saree shapewear.
Saree for Every Summer Occasion
Your summer saree is incredibly adaptable and appropriate for almost any event you have planned.
The Office
Choose pretty cottons in pastel colors, or pastel prints. Pair them with a smart tote and comfy closed shoes, and you will look professional but relaxed.
Evening Socials
A classic monochrome chiffon saree with a contrasting blouse and trendy belt can look fantastically modern with an evening look. Elegant and stylish
Summer Wedding
You can really glow in a Chanderi or Kota with a little shimmer, some silk blouse, and delicate gold jewellery.
Brunches & Day Trips
Choose the lively sunshine prints of floral or linen chiffons. Add some blingy earrings and fabulous sunglasses.
Your saree is working to set a tone, but always remember to feel comfortable, and feel beautiful in whatever you wear.
