Clothing in any culture has a lot to do with the climate. What better way to beat the heat than a loose flowing garment like a sari. Traditional garments are always a safe choice but some of us want more oomph than the classic look has to offer.
Everything from the fabric to the styling determines for timeless or forward. Here is a look at Pakistani celebrities donning saris to help you determine how’d you like to drape your sari.
Sunny Florals

Lightweight Drapes
Even though summer calls for delicate cotton saris, chiffon is a neater option. The fabric is still lightweight and delicate. Yet it doesn’t crinkle as fast as cotton.

Chiffon is also easier to drape beautifully and gives off a formal flair.
Monochrome
A flowy silhouette and solid color will look great on any frame. Monochrome is also a classic trend that’s been around for forever. Try a monochrome look with colors other than white and black.
