Easy to Wear Saree: One Saree, Three Looks, Day to Dusk

Sarees are the epitome of beauty. Our mothers used to wear sarees all day comfortably. However, we look for easy to wear sarees to adjust to our busy schedule. Yet is it possible to fit a saree for different occasions?

Imagine you have a meeting at 10 in the morning, office puja at 4 in the evening, and a dinner party with friends at night at 8:00. All these are in three different locations. Can you go home every time and change? Can you carry three different attire and change? Is it even practically possible? No it is not. Can one attire serve three different purposes? Yes it can.

Quick Answer: An easy-to-wear saree is a light, breathable, soft-on-skin saree, which will be comfortable to wear all day. Yet it will have the shine and luster fit for different occasions. A simple easy change in the look will be good enough to go to three different occasions.

What Makes an Easy to Wear Saree?

An easy to wear saree is the one that is comfortable and does not need attention throughout the day. Few things you should consider while buying these sarees.

• Lightweight fabric: Lightweight fabrics are not bulky at the waist and thus the pleats sit properly. They are not heavy so they are comfortable to wear all day.

• Breathable weave: Cotton allows air to pass through, thus it is preferable in hot and humid weather and for an entire day.

• Soft drape with some body: If the fabric is soft, it will fall softly on the body and will take the shape of the body so it will not feel stiff.

• Simple care: Once a saree is worn one should not keep on thinking about the saree. It should be easy to carry.

• Freedom to move: Whenever we wear something, we want to move freely in it. Thus wearing a sari allows you to climb stairs, drive, sit through long meetings, and sit up and down without worrying about the pleats and the pallu.

So the logic is simple. Instead of wasting money on different types of sarees that are tagged as party wear, puja wear, or office wear, it is better to have comfortable good-looking sarees that can be worn on different occasions and throughout the day for nowadays busy women.

Noolagam offers easy to wear sarees for day to dusk so that women can get ready once and relax all day.

Why Silk Cotton and Cotton Sarees Make the Best Everyday Day to Dusk Outfit

The 3-Switch Rule: One Saree, Three Looks

 

The concept of the 3-Switch Rule is simple, use one single saree to create three different looks from morning till night. Usually according to this rule, three changes are required:

1. Changing the blouse depending on the occasion or layering the blouse

2. Changing the pallu and the pleats

3. Changing the accessories and some changes in the makeup

However, please note that if there is no option for changing the blouse, one can easily wear a fitted plain blouse to different occasions by adding accessories.

Look 1: Saree for Work in a Day Meeting

Saree for work needs to be comfortably draped.

• Wear your favourite handloom saree with a plain blouse.

• Wear the saree in Nivi style.

• Pin the pleats and the pallu.

• Tie hair into a sleek ponytail if you have long hair.

• For an entire day, you can skip the kajal in the morning. Wear BB cream or a tinted sunscreen with a nude colour lipstick.

• Wear small studs and a slim watch.

• Wear a block heel or comfortable flats.

Look 2: A Saree Simple Look for Puja or an Outing

With slight changes in the accessories, the look can be changed

• Remove the pin and let the saree pallu lose.

• Change the studs into tear drop earrings with a thin chain or a choker.

• You can wear a kajal or an eye liner now if you want to.

• You can tie your hair into a bun.

Look 3: Turn It into a Partywear Saree for Dinner

 

The same handloom saree can look awesome for dinner.

• If possible, change the blouse into a stylish one. If not possible you can add a cape for a dramatic look.

• Completely change your jewelry into a set with statement jewelry pieces.

• Touch up your makeup. Wear a bright lipstick, eye shadow, and darken the kajal.

• Change your watch to bangles or bracelets.

• You can let your hair loose.

Simple changes can change the entire look. If it is not possible to change the bag, keep a mid-sized purse for the entire day.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is an easy to wear saree?

An easy to wear sari is a light, breathable, and soft sari that falls comfortably on the body and drapes neatly. It is comfortable to walk, sit, and travel wearing the sari. Usually handloom cotton and cotton silk saris are popular easy to wear saree choices.

2. Which saree is best for work?

A lightweight cotton or silk cotton saree in a solid colour or a subtle print is a dependable saree for work. Pair it with a plain, well-fitted blouse and pin the pleats and pallu so nothing shifts during meetings. Avoid very heavy borders, which add bulk.

3. Can I wear a cotton saree as a partywear saree?

Yes a cotton saree can easily be worn at a party by changing the styling. Wear an embellished blouse or a stylish blouse. Add a statement earring, bangles, and a necklace. Wear an open pallu. If possible wear a heel. You will be ready with your partywear saree look.

4. Are pure handloom cotton sarees suitable as an everyday saree?

Yes. Pure handloom cotton sarees are breathable, soft against the skin and easy to care for, which makes them a practical everyday saree. Handloom cotton also tends to soften with washing, so it becomes more comfortable over time. Always follow the care label on your saree.

5. How do I create a saree simple look without too many accessories?

Start with a solid or lightly printed saree and a plain blouse. Add one focal accessory, such as a pair of earrings or a stack of bangles, rather than several pieces at once. Neat pleats and a well-pinned pallu matter more than jewellery for a clean finish.

6. How can I wear the same saree from day to evening?

Follow the 3-Switch Rule: change the blouse or layer, restyle the pallu and pleats, and swap the accessories and footwear. The saree stays the same, so you only need to carry a blouse and a small pouch of jewellery. Re-pin your pleats before dinner for a fresh finish.
