Draping sarees
Draping a saree perfectly is an absolute nightmare for someone who has no clue where to start.

If you’re not a saree pundit, it will be better to go ahead and get help from a salon. The helpers at the salon will tie and fix your saree like a smooth breeze after a storm. Everything must be tucked and fastened at the right place or else there’s a chance your saree will become undone. You can also add a twist to the way you drape your saree by opting for Parsi, Bengali, Marathi, or stole style. Strike a balance between the old and the new, but just don’t end up looking like an air hostess.
Choosing the saree material

In winters, go for a heavy cloth like silk, tussar silk, mixed silk, Banarasi silk saree, mixed jute, etc. Saree is a baring outfit, so one must keep themselves warm in the cold of the winter. You can also drape a nice woollen shawl around your shoulders in the months of extreme cold. There are naturally more options that one can go for in summers. Chanderi, chiffon, tant, cotton, and georgette sarees are best to bear and beat the heat in summers. For a fancy occasion, be it any weather, a net, georgette, or silk saree would be the best choices as they shout festivity galore.
