Sari paired with jeans is not only a fusion of cultures but it’s also an eclectic mix of vintage and the present style. Being one of the most versatile outfits, the sari is continuously undergoing a transformation.

Girls who can’t give up on their Western look can style their sari with a pair of jeans.  And combining something as elegant as a sari with jeans is a thrill in itself. This one is a classic and quirky fashion trend. Some of the country’s biggest designers are transforming the sari, turning it into a garment that can be worn to the beach as well as a ball. The new designs are primarily aimed at youngsters who are always looking out for new trends. And the fact that it doesn’t take a lot of time to drape this has scored with the younger generation.

There are many innovative and fresh ways of draping your sari. From crop tops to palazzos, you can now fashion your sari in many ways and an interestingly draped sari is always an eye-catcher.

Urvi Mehta, a fashion blogger, says, “It’s easy for girls to carry off a sari this way if they’re not into wearing it in a traditional manner or aren’t comfortable that way.”

Nothing is more comfortable than a pair of jeans. Jeans and saris together make a deadly combination if you know what to pair it with.

“The idea of the ensemble is very unique and adds an edge to one’s appearance. It’s the perfect blend of the Indian and Western sense of styling. It not only brings out the elegance of Indian wear but also adds to it the charm of modern styling along with comfort. It’s the perfect look to sport to cocktail parties!”adds Prajna Kariappa, a student of Mount Carmel College.

The traditional six yard wonder from India is given a whole new look by the inclusion of jeans instead of a skirt and it also takes away the fuss of finding a perfect skirt.

Supritha Shreedhar, an MBA student from Kristu Jayanthi College, shares, “I feel it’s a nice spin on the traditional wear but again it really depends on how people wear it. Some people go over board and make it look really bad. Respecting the culture and giving your own modern touch at the same time is the way forward!” So if you want to make a style statement, just pleat up your sari over your jeans stylishly and become an instant fashion hit!
