THE 6 YARD GRACE

T he world of sari trends is mercurial. Not unlike life, the only constant when it comes to trends is change. India’s love affair with the six yards blossomed from its foundation in rich handlooms. The sheer elegance in every shape or form coupled with its versatility makes sari appropriate for any occasion, from everyday life to a myriad festivities.
The concept of sari for a modern Indian woman is one rooted in traditions and firm self-assurance at the same time. It’s also one that embraces the milieu. Over the years, heritage weaves have been given updates as millennials find interesting and unique ways to make it their own. The motifs have acquired an edge of the times which can be seen in bold prints and heavy embellishments.
The pomp and process of wearing a sari can become quite intimidating. But that’s the beauty of evolution and new perspectives. From pre-constructed saris, experimentative blouses paired with the usual six yards to dhoti style saris, sari dresses and sari gowns, there’s a fuss-free option readily available with a little research. These styles are mainly a response to the need of the hour. A long overcoat punctuated with a belt is another go-to style adopted by celebrities and others alike. The adaptability of this garment according to the occasion remains its most exceptional feature.
