Ditch Heels & Wear These Cool Sneakers Made Just To Wear With Sarees

I am officially in love with this brand! How can anyone not be when they make sneakers specifically to be worn with your sarees? Aptly called The Saree Sneakers, this brand was a chance find for me on Nykaa Fashion, and while The Saree Sneakers may sound like an oxymoron, is it really that hard to imagine saree and sneakers in the same frame? We think not because this brand is in a way revolutionising the Indian wedding footwear game. 

The Saree Sneakers take a basic pair of black or white sneakers, and douse them in all the drama, glitz and glamour of the big fat Indian wedding. Result? Dressy and comfortable party footwear that won’t give you nasty shoe bites or swollen fingers. Wondering how can someone make sneakers look dressy? Oh wait till you lay your eyes on these sneakers that come with beautiful hand-embroidery, zardozi, chikankari, and stone work. 

The brand makes a conscious effort to showcase different craftsmanship and materials from India on these footwear. There is chikankari embroidery on cotton; laces made with organza that have gota on them. They can customise it all! So much so that you can even match your sneakers with your jewellery. Apart from the matching bit, they can also embroider the couple’s initials or surnames on either pair or inscribe words like ‘pataka’ or ‘dulhaniya’ in colourful thread. Staying in the comfort zone isn’t all that bad after all! *wink* 

It does take a true comfort-digger to wear them on the D-day but imagine been able to stand on that podium for hours greeting your guests or been able to dance all night, and have two happy feet at the end of it all. Priceless.
