Growing up, the one style that I saw all women in my family carry effortlessly was a saree. And with my country's rich history of textile, and the various traditional ways in which you could tie them, it made complete sense to me that the one thing you could find in abundance in my grandmother's closet was a saree. And my mother has carried on this tradition and now has over 500 sarees from all over the country in her collection. Now, as an adult who is trying to define her own sense of style, sarees are slowly becoming a significant part of my wardrobe too.
And in this journey of discovering and learning about the absolute art that is a saree, I have deep dived and researched saree varieties that the different regions of the country have to offer.
So, here are my favourite types of sarees, categorised by region, their material, the draping difficulty and some recommendations that you should definitely add to your collection.
