The saree has been a staple Indian garment for women for many centuries. Though many consider it the quintessential Indian garment, the truth is, it has undergone many transformations and evolution and the saree we see today is a blend of many different cultural influences. In a way the adaptability and versatility of this garment is exactly what has helped it to survive, thrive and become such a huge ethnic fashion institution. Even today, saree styles are constantly evolving to incorporate different influences and fashion sensibilities. Modern women will find a huge variety of saree styles to suit their tastes and western fashion preferences.


The most popular casual wear sarees today are probably the printed sarees. These are essentially sarees that come with prints rather than any other type of embroidery or embellishment. These can be huge Indian motifs of peacocks, lotuses, fruits, animals and divine symbols, or they can be western style graphics of floral designs and abstract shapes. The beauty of printed sarees is that they allow women to flaunt their individual tastes and personality even while retaining the conservative and traditional element.

Printed sarees are considered contemporary as they were only produced for the first time in the large century or so. There are other traditional and regional varieties which have found a loyal audience amongst modern fashionistas because of their inherent beauty and versatile appeal. For instance, kota sarees are considered one of the most comfortable sarees a woman could wear as they are made of a very light, finely woven cotton silk material.


Alternatively, women can simply opt for traditional looking varieties such as the Kanchi pattu sarees which never really go out of fashion because of their fine and opulent look. All such sarees can be found by simply checking out the Utsav Fashion website and exploring their diverse catalog of choices.
