There is nothing more romantic, sizzling, confident and complete than a saree; from trendy Bollywood movies to the khadi movement, sarees have always found themselves within the current atmosphere in the country. It’s often said that the current generation finds themselves alienated from the essential parts of our culture, and that is far from the truth. Sarees are the one aspect that all of us have been romanticizing since we saw our mothers drape them. Millennials are a generation that has seen the country go from local to massive globalization; they’ve been a part of the change that’s not just materialistic but also ideological and cultural. These changes have made them sensitive to global issues and different from the generation previous to them. However, the millennials are also responsible for the massive social media boom, which has given many grassroots and endangered industries a new lease on life.
Millennials are going back to their roots and appreciating the up-and-coming world of artisans and weavers. Sarees have found a new home; we have millennial women doing yoga, splits and even backflips in Saree are no longer restricted to special events as this new generation is adding western elements to them and wearing them on a daily basis. From adding belts, blazers and crop tops as Blouses to Saree, Millennials have identified the saree with their own ideas of the world today and adapted it to the same. It’s now not just an item of clothing but an expression of their thoughts, an illustration of an artist’s talent and a revival of historical talent. For a millennial, a saree is an heirloom that can be passed down generations, and it is an embodiment of divine femininity and an expression of our values that have survived many invasions and colonisations. Let’s take a look at a few sarees that every millennial will love, from simple to rich.
