We know it’s a stressful time of your life – with boards lurking around the corner, and the all the anticipations resounding in a big “WHAT NEXT !” But thinking about what to wear to your farewell might not have crossed your mind until we just brought it up. Fret not, we’ve got you covered. Here are 5 fabulous ways to rock that sari on your farewell night and come out with flying colours.
1. Rocker-Chic
One’s youth is sadly not a lifelong companion, so go out there and experiment – try out new things, take the unconventional route. And what better day to start than the end of school time. Opt for a dhoti wrap sari, paired with leggings to stand out in the crowd – and believe us you will have lots of fun doing it. Add some edgy accessories and you’re all set to rock and roll!

2. Peaches and Blush
For those of you who like to play it safe and like all things girly, a soft-pastel color scheme would be a good bet. Go for a net based sari in sorbet shades to lend a soft and feminine touch to your look. A dainty looking outfit calls for some pearl encrusted jewellery and floral embroidered clutch bag, finishing off the look with a pair of sexy, strappy sandals.

It hides all that you do not wish to highlight and brings out the best in you – leaving you stress-free and confident to enjoy your day. Don’t go overboard with accessories.
