Changing trends, tastes and lifestyle define fashion. What might be considered ‘in’ or a ‘must-have’ this season could be considered ‘hopelessly passé’ tomorrow. True, that there are timeless and classic style trends that never go out of fashion, but fashion calls for the need to innovate and revamp those same old outfits adding a touch of difference.

An ideal example to illustrate this would be the timeless Indian saree. Saree has been subjected to various stages of metamorphoses, so to speak, that make it more fun and interesting. Pre-stitched pleats and pallus, ruching, ruffles, etc. add a contemporary touch to this traditional wear. Stylish readymade sarees act as a convenient alternative to the more conventional saree. But of all the alternatives, what has really caught my eye is the fashionable Lehenga Style Saree.

Reasons that make this outfit the hottest trend nowadays are its flattering silhouette, convenience, and contemporary appeal. In a lehenga style saree, the pleats are replaced with ornately embellished panels or godets, adding drama to this drape. It has to be draped just like a saree by tucking into the inskirt. The only difference is, that unlike a saree you don’t have to form pleats but simply ‘tuck-and-drape’ … Now, isn’t that cool? At times, the design and styling of this outfit also determines the way it should be draped. Although normally it needs to be tucked and draped, few come with side hooks which make our job even simpler. Looks great and saves time too!

Aesthetically blending the appeal of a saree and lehenga choli, the lehenga style saree has emerged as a stylish and convenient option in recent times. This new ensemble is all set to take over from the saree and lehenga choli. This dramatic and sensuously stylish drape would be perfect for evening parties and semi-formal occasions which demand lots of glitz and glamor. Even though it would suit almost everyone, these new drapes work best for tall and leaner body types.

I am already feeling content thinking about this lehenga style saree…. Why? Guys, finally I have got relief from draping a conventional saree which I feel is ‘the most’ difficult thing! Do you agree with me?
