12 Trending Sarees For A Modern Look
Something is compelling about a saree. Six yards of elegance, culture, and confidence—all wrapped into one versatile drape. But today’s saree is not just about tradition. It’s about transformation. Women are styling sarees in bolder, free, and more expressive ways than ever before.
From boardrooms to brunches, cocktail nights to cultural events, the saree is no longer reserved for just special occasions—it’s a style statement that says, “I own this space.”
And if you're wondering which sarees are turning heads in 2025, you’re in the right place. Let’s explore 12 trending sarees that redefine modern style without losing the soul of tradition.
1. Ombre Sarees – The Art of Transition
Think soft transitions of pink fading into lilac or teal, melting into navy. Ombre sarees are poetry in motion. They’re especially loved by younger saree wearers who want a fresh, Instagram-worthy palette with a hint of drama.
Style tip: Pair with minimalist silver jewelry and a clean bun to let the colour gradient shine.
Where to find: Mavuri offers a sophisticated range of ombre sarees in organza, chiffon, and georgette—perfect for both daytime elegance and evening charm.
2. Pre-draped Sarees – Convenience Meets Couture
No pleats. No pins. No fuss. Pre-draped sarees are the perfect ready-to-wear choice for today’s multitaskers—ideal for anyone who loves the elegance of a saree but not the time it takes to drape one. While Mavuri may not currently offer pre-draped sarees, any saree from their collection can easily be transformed into a pre-draped version by a skilled local tailor. Style meets simplicity, your way.
Style tip: Choose ones with structured silhouettes or pant-style bottoms for a fusion effect.
Look at Mavuri’s edit: Their ready-to-wear sarees fuse heritage with high fashion effortlessly.
3. Ruffle Sarees – Flirty, Feminine, and Fierce
Add movement, texture, and a whole lot of personality to your look with ruffled sarees. Whether it’s cascading borders or layered pallu, this style brings an undeniable youthful charm.
Style tip: Keep your blouse sleek—maybe even strapless—and let the ruffles take the spotlight.
4. Monochrome Magic – Simplicity, Reinvented
A single colour doesn’t mean single-minded. Monochrome sarees—whether in black, ivory, or jewel tones—are stealing the show. It’s about confidence in minimalism.
Style tip: Break the monotony with a statement belt or contrasting accessories.
Mavuri pick: Their curated monochrome silks and linens prove that simple can still be stunning.
5. Digital Print Sarees – Wear Your Imagination
From abstract strokes to botanical artwork, digital print sarees allow for boundless creativity. These sarees are like canvases—bold, artistic, and unique.
Style tip: Let the saree be your focal point. Skip heavy jewelry and go with sleek heels.
6. Sheer Sarees – Grace with an Edge
Sheer sarees in organza or net are the go-to for cocktail events and evening parties. They give off a soft shimmer while creating an aura of mystery and poise.
Style tip: A bold blouse underneath—maybe velvet or sequins—can elevate the entire look.
Where to look: Mavuri’s organza edit brings together transparency and texture in artistic ways.
7. Handloom Sarees – The Modern Traditionalist’s Choice
Think style with substance. Handloom sarees—from Bengal cottons to Pochampally ikats—are loved by fashion purists and professionals alike. They carry legacy and luxury in the same breath.
Style tip: Add a blazer or structured blouse for a fusion workwear look.
8. Pant Sarees – Indo-Western Done Right
Saree with pants? Yes. This edgy style has become a staple at fashion-forward weddings and cocktail parties. The pallu drapes over trousers or dhoti-style bottoms, giving a structured and avant-garde finish.
Style tip: Go bold with makeup—think kohl-rimmed eyes or a wine lipstick to complete the fierce look.
9. Belted Sarees – Shape, Structure, and Style
Belts aren't just for jeans anymore. A cinched waist over a saree instantly adds definition, structure, and a touch of drama.
Style tip: Try a leather belt with a linen saree or a metallic belt over silk—it’s all about contrast.
10. Sequin Sarees – Shine Without Trying Too Hard
There’s nothing like the subtle sparkle of sequins to make a saree feel magical. Unlike heavy zardosi, modern sequin sarees focus on finesse.
Style tip: Opt for muted tones—mauve, champagne, or charcoal—for an elegant shine that doesn’t overpower.
Spotted at Mavuri: Their muted metallic sarees are perfect for wedding receptions and glam nights.
11. Dual Fabric Sarees – Where Textures Collide
Combining silk with net, or cotton with satin, dual fabric sarees are all about contrast. They offer a multidimensional look that stands out effortlessly.
Style tip: Pick fabrics that move well together. One can be stiff (like silk), while the other adds flow (like georgette).
12. Jacket Sarees – Power Meets Grace
Blouses are out. Jackets are in. From long-line embroidered jackets to cropped bandhgalas, this trend fuses androgyny with elegance.
Style tip: Stick to neutral palettes or tone-on-tone dressing to keep the look polished.
Mavuri Muse: Their silk sarees paired with handwoven jackets blur the lines between tradition and modern power dressing.
Final Thoughts: Where Heritage Meets Today
A modern saree look is never just about following trends—it’s about expressing who you are. Whether you’re drawn to ruffles or handlooms, sequins or structure, let your saree reflect your mood, your journey, and your joy.
And if you’re seeking sarees that blend heritage with modernity, craftsmanship with creativity, look no further than Mavuri. Their evolving collections don’t just follow trends—they set them.
