2. Breathable fabric:
Chanderi material is usually a blend of cotton or silk with zari (a gold thread). For summers, chanderi cotton materials are super comfortable for summers and breathable. The traditional pure silk fabrics are much suitable for winters.
3. Minimalist design and embroidery:
Chanderi Sarees are known for their natural sheen, intricate embroidery and embellishments that don’t feel so heavy or uncomfortable in summers. The beautiful motifs on the fabric - usually inspired by elements of nature like flowers, trees, peacocks or birds elevate the overall look. The minimalist embroidery and motifs add elegance to the saree without weighing it down.
4. Accessorize:
While the Chanderi fabric in itself is very graceful, if one pairs it with a stunning piece of jewellery - from a simple neck piece, a bracelet to a beautiful pair of earrings, studs, or a cocktail ring, it only adds to your overall look. Vintage Jewellery goes pretty well with the delicate texture of Chanderi. A simple clutch or a handbag will also be a nice choice!
