This year's festive season is a big deal for Mumbaikars given the fact that the festivals are being celebrated sans pandemic restrictions after two long years. It is only predictable that the city residents would go all out in preparing for the much-awaited celebrations in a completely traditional manner. This also means it is time for many to indulge in some fashion experiments and turn up in their best festive outfits; naturally one can never miss out on sarees when it comes to ethnic wear.

While traditional Indian sarees like Paithani, Banarasi and Kanjivaram among others remain festive classics, people’s tastes have evolved and incorporating Indo-western elements in their outfits is a trend, which is here to stay. From pairing sarees with belts, sneakers, crop tops and jackets to experimenting with prints, colours, materials and styles, there has been a massive change in the ways people can experience six-yards of grace and elegance.
