When it comes to elegance, sarees have always been at the top of the list for most Indian women. But the same style gets boring after a while, doesn’t it? That’s why it’s important to experiment, even with something as classic and timeless as the saree. With a global outlook in the Indian fashion industry, saree styles and drapes have become more and more unique.

Whether it’s colour or drapes, it is now a lot easier to make a style statement in a saree than it was a few years ago. So if you want to stand out at the next wedding or formal occasion, here are the unique saree styles and drapes that need your attention.
