In this ever-changing fashion business, the only thing that has held its popularity firm and fierce is the saree. It is not just a garment but an identity of our culture that dates back to the era of Indus valley civilization. Thus, the saree is an ancient garment, yet it is never boring. Moreover, the saree possesses a timeless charm and elegance that it lends to the wearer. This uniqueness of sarees is unmatched and priceless.
Therefore, this post describes some of the most beautiful sarees in the world. Every saree is distinct in its own way, however, I have picked some really classic sarees that can never go out of fashion.
Before you enjoy the saree pictures, I would like to thank my cousins Palak Bhakuni for being my saree model and Akshansh Bhakuni (check out his youtube channel) for his superb camera skills.
1. Pure silk saree


These are truly timeless and can never cease to be in fashion. Their fabric is really smooth, lightweight with a soft lustre. Furthermore, you can find them in unique design and prints. Personally, my favourite ones are those with light zari work on the border and pallu.

7. Kanjivaram saree

Kanjivaram sarees are heavy and ornate masterpieces crafted in Tamilnadu. They are the most popular kinds of bridal sarees and are recognized by the grand zari border and pallu. The base fabric is soft and lustrous silk which gives the saree a very rich look.
8. Kota doria saree

The fabric kota doria, from Kota, Rajasthan is a combination of cotton and silk. The fabric is feathery light and has a breezy feel that is apt for summer. It is usually identified with the presence of “khat”, which are little square boxes all over the fabric. In conclusion, if you find a cotton saree too stiff or unmanageable, kota doria saree is your ideal choice.

Mulmul is an ultra-fine cotton weave that is extremely smooth and lightweight. Mulmul fabric with beautiful block prints creates a visual treat in the form of a saree. These handloom sarees have a refreshing feel and are ideal for office wear.
10. Kerala kasavu saree

Kasavu saree is the identity of Kerala. These are characterised by off-white cotton or silk fabric with golden borders. They are extremely graceful and sophisticated sarees. I personally associate a festive feel with this classic saree. Their richness is their simplicity.
So, these were different types of sarees from different parts of India. Undoubtedly, sarees will always remain in vogue. Hence, you always have a reason to buy them.
