Most common of all the prints styles on saree, florals are perhaps the most appealing print motifs for any daytime look. In fact, as soon as we bid adieus to the dry chilling winds of winter, we know that spring would enter not only our backyards but closets as well. Known for their unique ability to brighten any attire, floral print sarees is anyways a must-have element for any summer wardrobe whether ethnic or otherwise. In Indian sarees, you may up your fashion game with florals specific to the weather by choosing one with summer bulbs like begonia or oriental lily on them. To quirk things up a bit, you can choose some counterintuitive base colors for the floral prints, the way Priyanka Chopra has done in the image above. Dark colors like burgundy, navy blue, and in this case black are often considered discordant with the brightness of floral prints, and this is why pairing these unlikely pairs into a nighttime celebration outfit can give you that balanced look that is often hard to achieve during warm weathers.

Leheriya is an age-old print style on Indian ethnic wears to rock during the warmest months. The simplicity of the print on saree creates a truly soothing spectacle. The presence of predictable pattern all over and the lack of motifs thereof gives off those carefree vibes that are in true sense the essence of any spring-summer fashion statement. No wonder, the print finds huge significance in the sartorial culture of southern Asia where it’s worn as a conventional outfit during the waning phase of summers; indicating the calming turn of weather with a sense of true rejuvenation. This symbolism is also the reason why we suggest using only cheerful colors or the colors that are inherently considered feminine like lighter shades of pink, yellow, orange, green, etc. for rocking a Leheriya print in sarees.

Last, but definitely not the least, a hand block print saree is one of the most appropriate outfits in the entire ethnic womenswear segment to be adorned on bright and warm days. Not only is the base fabric cotton the most heat-resistant but the style is also signature to the warmest of Indian regions. In any case, apart from the tie and dye techniques, there aren’t really many ways to adorn a summer-friendly cotton outfit. And let’s face it, the original block print on sarees has something regal about it that sets it apart from other print outfits. One reason for this is definitely the organic nature of the work. From block made of Indian rosewood or teak to the use of natural dying agents like turmeric, indigo, manjishtha, and iron rust, everything that goes into the production of these stylish block print sarees have organic compounds in them. This also shows in the appearance and the texture of the outfit, which is as easy on eyes as it breathable and soft on the skin.
