Wearing sarees has been a hassle due to the time it takes to drape, thanks to the complexity of adjusting the fall and pallu. So, stumbling across a silk blend wraparound version that's slinky and doesn't look like it's being held together by a clasp, is pure joy. It has three clasps for you to choose, from where the fall falls. The pallu is bunched up so, you have to just throw it over your shoulder.

The blouse at the saree shop doesn't cut it, so we go on a hunt. We come across golden and silver sequined and patterned blouses, but nothing grabs the eye. We spot a sleeveless black sequined number with net to show off your shoulder blades. Delicate or edgy, it can be paired with almost any saree. Secured by a zip, it's easy to get into. We could do away with the sequinned bit at the collar, though. There's also a longer-than-usual pink blouse that you can pick, meant to be worn with lehengas or palazzos.
Cost Rs 1,190 onwards
