New Delhi: Sarees have been our favourite for a long time now. On any occasion, whether it's a school farewell, the festive season, or a wedding, a saree is the best option to stand out in the crowd. In India, there is a variety of sarees to choose from – from Banarasi, Kanchipuram, silk, to georgette, chiffon, cotton, and even milk sarees! Yes, you heard it right. Being a favourite of millennials and Gen Zs, the milk saree is the hottest fashion trend now.
With the festive season coming up, it is the perfect opportunity to style a milk saree. It is creating ripples in the fashion world – a perfect mix of sustainability, luxury, and style. Imagine stepping into a Durga Puja pandal or Diwali party, draped in this one-of-a-kind saree and everyone’s jaws drop. So, how do you slay this dreamy saree? Here is a step-by-step guide for a perfect look with a milk saree this festive season that will make heads turn every time you walk in!
A milk saree isn’t dipped in milk (don’t worry!). It’s made from casein protein found in milk. This protein is extracted, turned into silky fibres, and then woven into fabric. The result? A saree that feels as soft as silk, is wrinkle-free, super breathable, and totally eco-friendly. Think of it as nature’s luxe fabric, giving you elegance without harming the planet. Sustainable, stylish, and oh-so-trendy!
1. Pair with vibrant blouses
Festivals are all about colour! Style your milk saree with jewel-toned blouses — think deep red, emerald green, or mustard yellow for Navratri or Durga Puja. Want a Diwali twist? Go glam with sequinned or metallic blouses.
2. Go big on jewellery
Durga Puja and Diwali look incomplete without statement jewellery. Layer your saree with chunky temple jewellery, jhumkas, or a multi-strand pearl set. If you’re hitting Navratri garba nights, oxidised silver jewellery will be your best friend.
3. Try fusion drapes
Milk fabric drapes beautifully — experiment with dhoti style or pant drapes for modern puja parties. For Sindoor Khela or Lakshmi Puja, keep it classic with the traditional Bengali style.
4. Festive accessories
Add embellished belts, potli bags, or embroidered clutches to elevate your look. For footwear, pair your saree with juttis for pandal hopping or strappy heels for evening Diwali gatherings.
A milk saree is not just about fashion — it’s a conversation starter. When you walk into a Durga Puja pandal or light diyas on Diwali, your saree will radiate both festive elegance and eco-conscious charm. In 2025, sustainable fashion is all the rage, and this drape helps you shine while doing your bit for the planet. Stylish, festive, and responsible — what more could you ask for?
