How To Choose Work Wear Saree?
Saree is a versatile outfit, which can be worn anytime and anywhere. Sarees are
differentiated based on fabric and embellishments, hence all saree types are not suitable
for every occasion. One must be bit careful while choosing saree for office. Wrinkle free
sarees are good for everyday office wear.

Material:
Handloom sarees are best for office. Go for sarees that crafted from cotton, silk and
their blends such as raw silk, tussar silk, cotton silk, dupion silk, woven linen that
gives a crisp look especially for meetings. If you are looking for wrinkle free then crepe,
chiffon, and art silk sarees are good for daily work wear. Georgette, satin and pure
silks are best options if there’s a special occasion at the office.

Colours:
Avoid bright colors and embellishments unless there’s a special occasion at the office.
Subtle solids and pastel hues such as beige, brown, peach, pastel green, light blue etc
will be the apt one.

Saanganers, Batik Print, Bandhini, Block Prints…etc are few to name with. Avoid

and more. If you insist thread work, then opt for minimal embroideries such as Kanta and
Kasuti work sarees.
