Back To Black: 9 Types Of Black Sarees That Belong In Your Closet

Organza sarees have been making big waves in the fashion sphere for quite some time now. Hazel World, a brand that has everything from apparel to home décor does fabulous looking, good quality sarees that are breezy, easy to wear, and light-weight.

LBB's Pick: For black, we love this one with huge gray flowers that make for a perfect day time, and night time look! 

We don't mind going out on a limb and saying that cotton is the most superior fabric out there. It's light, easy to wear, breathable, and natural. And Forsarees, as a brand, stands testimony to this with their vision to bring beautiful handloom sarees to saree lovers. 

LBB's Pick: This simple, staple cotton saree with a nice red border. It's perfect for daily-wear and of course, can be easily decked up with lots and lots of oxidised silver jewellery too! 

You cannot be a saree lover and not have a black chiffon saree in your wardrobe! As a fabric, chiffon is slightly mesh-like and transparent, making it a good fit for humid days. Swatantra has a sizable collection of everything saree-related from fabrics to ready to wear, and even accessories. 

LBB's Pick: We love this black chiffon saree that's all sorts of elegant, party-wear appropriate, thanks to the tinge of glitter weaved in. They have a good collection of black sarees of different fabrics, patterns, and prints, you can find here. 

We don't have to introduce Fabindia to you, but if you insist, always expect the best quality, new vibrant prints (that will for sure be spotted in other local shops a couple months later) and, of course, lots of patterns across all categories. When it comes to sarees, they have a limited but good collection of homegrown and loomed ones that scream classic Fabindia. 

LBB's Pick: This silk woven zari saree that looks classic, elegant, and sophisticated.  

If you're from Tamil Nadu, you'll know they have a great variety of sarees across range and sarees across prices and styles, but for everyone else, you can get everything online for any ethnic occasion! They're mostly known for their silk sarees, which we're sure you know about, but we also spotted other ones too which we thought were pretty great. 

LBB's Pick: This black georgette one with a thick silver embroidered border that we think makes for a good night-time occasion wear.

Rekha did it first. And yes, inspired all of us, to own at least one kanjeevaram in our lives. Panash, as a brand, does a great job with sarees in multitudes of fabrics, prints and patterns including nice, rich-looking black ones and kanjeevaram ones too! 

LBB's Pick: This black kanjeevaram saree with gold motifs and a thick gold border. What we love about this saree is that not only does it scream classic, but it's literally the centre of attention with minimal to no jewellery required. 

Okhai offers handcrafted lifestyle products and apparel created by rural artisans across India. When it comes to sarees, you’ll see a wide variety of handwoven, block printed, hand-block printed sarees, in various colours, patterns, and designs that are traditional and lead to an artisanal and tribal sensibility.

LBB's Pick: This gorgeous daily-wear appropriate hand block saree dipped in patri (copper sulphate solution) and hand block printed with chuna (lime solution) to make unique designs.

The brand is known for its collection of handloom, organic linen, mulmul, ikat, pure silk, tussar, dongria, kalamkari and indigo sarees in different designs and prints. They also do a bunch of Banarsi sarees too and, of course, you have to own a Banarsi saree!

Anyone who loves sarees has heard of Suta by now. Their simple sarees will fit into any wardrobe and work for any occasion. They're great for solid coloured, lightweight cotton sarees, spotted on celebs like Madhuri Dixit, Vidya Balan, and Tapsee Pannu.
