A monochrome sari with an embroidered blouse is your best option when looking for something that speaks celebration with a touch of minimalism. Whether you choose among variations of cotton or silk, pairing a deep-colour sari with a blouse consisting of scattered embellishments or embroidered zari work can elevate your whole look. However, if you are not one to downplay it, choose a sari with bold embroidery or a heavily embellished blouse.

The contrasting yet smooth transition of prints along the columns of the sari injects vibrancy to your outfit like none other, instantly making it the star of the evening.

A summer Eid is difficult but soft cotton saris are here to save the day. The sari boutiques have assembled the best of prints and patterns to make sure cotton saris are no longer just basic daytime wear but a chic evening outfit as well. With the right accessories, cotton saris are best for bringing out the true Bengali beauty in each one of us.
