Snapshots
Breezy, easy to drape, and ever so stylish, sarees are the perfect outfit choice for the hot summers. While cottons are perfect for casual outings, a cotton silk saree is a great idea for work, and for evenings out, there are always soft silk sarees. If you have been collecting drapes for long but aren’t sure how to style sarees for summers, or just happen to be looking for some fashion inspo, we got your back!
Chic jamdani
If it is hot outside, nothing works better than the soft and oh-so-comfortable cotton summer sarees. You can opt for handcrafted weaves like jamdani which make for perfect drapes, no matter what you are up to. Whether it is a quick supermarket run, or catching up with friends over coffee, chic jamdanis are your best friend. Given that the majority of them are solid, you can easily pair them up with contrast blouses for a chic look. Or if simple and classic is more your vibe, go for a matching blouse, and let the weave shine.
Elegant chikankari
Another handloom option when it comes to sarees for summers is an elegant chikankari on a cotton base saree. If you grew up in North India, nothing says summers more than your Chikankari outfits being taken out, so what better than a beautiful calming blue saree.
While the traditional chikankari outfits have been mostly white or pastel colours, which made a lot of sense given the heat, but if you want to bring a fun summery vibe with you to an evening soiree, may we suggest a more colourful take adorned with mukaish? Simply stunning.
Mul cotton
The softest of them all, mul cotton sarees are simple, chic, and perfect for the hottest of days. When you think of a saree for summer season, you traditionally think of mul cotton. And whether you dress it up like this for a fun outing, or go simpler in day to day life, the versatility and ease of mul cotton sarees in unmatched.
Easy to drape cotton silk saree
If you love how soft cotton summer sarees are but find them way too soft to drape easily, a cotton silk saree is your best friend! Cotton adds a softness, and silk adds a bit of fall, making these quite easy to drape, even for beginners.
For formal outings opt for a cotton silk saree in darker shades, with a simple gold border, keeping it simple yet stylish. Pair it with golden accessories for a classic look.
Playful cotton silk saree
A cotton silk saree doesn’t have to be boring, and this is a great example of that! Whether you are headed for a day wedding, or simply out on a date, dressed to impress, a cotton silk saree like this is an amazing option. Easy to drape, and with the adorable heart motifs on the body, it is also super cute!
Pair it with cute jumkas, and you are ready to go!

Soft silk sarees for work
If silks mean a thick, heavy to drape saree to you, think again! More and more brands are now experimenting with designs today, and silks no longer mean heavy drapes with golden bootas only.
This Murshidabad silk, with handpainted motifs, is a great example. Inspired by Van Gogh’s The Starry Night, this is one of the soft silk sarees perfect for work and meetings where you need to look your best.
Vision in white
We cannot talk about sarees for summers, and then not mention a white drape. Chanderi silk sarees are a great choice if you are looking for a soft silk saree that drapes well. And the best part is, if you like how it feels in summers, these sarees are available in almost every shade you can think of.
These handloom sarees are just as common in pastel shades, making them a perfect choice for sarees for summer. But they are also available in much bolder shades, which means you can also opt for a Chanderi silk to events where you must look dressed up.
So from summer cotton sarees, to silks, which drape will you prefer to explore this coming summer?
