6 YARDS OF GRACE

No matter how much you love your breezy dresses and airy skirts, nothing combines elegance and ease, quite like sarees. A true classic, an Indian wardrobe is incomplete without it. Though mostly thought of as an occasion wear piece, or as a wedding outfit– by choosing the right fabric and colour, you can find a saree for just about any occasion. From opting for breathable cottons that score high on comfort, that can be worn to a casual lunch, to light-as-air chiffons and beautiful organzas that drape like a dream, that are perfect for evening affairs – this piece of fabric is as versatile as it gets.

If you are looking to revisit the timeless drape with a fresh twist on Valentine's Day, pair your saree with a contemporary blouse, think offshoulder silhouettes or modern necklines or even a silk shirt. Ahuja's Fashion photography is about who you want to be, not who you are.

City First brings to you an exclusive collection by Devesh Ahuja, director Ahuja’s Productions, as they prove that six yards of grace should not just be reserved for the wedding season. Choose an offshoulder or sleeveless blouse to add length to your body if you are petite. Go for a (Banasri) silk saree with long sleeves if your body is hourglass or pear-shaped as it will accentuate your waistline and give you curves. A straight-cut saree will help balance out a curvier body shape. For the perfect blend of style and elegance, choose plain sarees or a bordered saree with a designer blouse rather than heavily embellished sarees. Your saree is how you make an entrance, how you express your style and an extension of yourself.
