Why let it dangle from the shoulder when you can wrap it around in multiple ways?
The six yards of Indian fabric is fast becoming an international phenomenon, with the likes of Gisele Bundchen, Serena Williams and Paris Hilton donning it at various occasions.
The versatility of the fabric is what makes it so likeable across demographics.
You can wear it to a beach party, a business meeting or even to a red carpet event.
We bring you some interesting ways to style your drape, straight off the ramp.
Take a quick look and tell us what you think!

If you want to keep it traditional, you may recreate the classic Thakur Bari style.
Take two large pleats in the front and drape the pallu of the saree twice over the torso, like Alesia Raut in this Vaishali Shadangule creation.

Want to do the monochrome?
Ditch the blouse for a kurta and pleat the pallu well for a neat look.

Better still, accentuate your look with an ethnic saree belt.

Can't get the pleats right?
Just drape it the tribal way and pin up the pallu like Sony Kaur did with a Shruti Sancheti creation.
Hassle-free, isn't it?
