How to Look Fantastic by Draping Saree Below the Navel

Draping the saree below the navel line is a fashion trend that has been here for many ages. But because of a certain orthodox view from society, the trend could not get much popularity before the 21st century began. But, in 2020, the trend is seeing a new high. Irrespective of the views of certain aunties and conservative grandmothers, you do not need to think twice about wearing your sari below the navel. 

Whoever says that sarees should cover a woman from head to foot, couldn't have been more wrong. It was never meant to do so. But, a saree is an attire that makes women look supremely beautiful by concealing and revealing in the right proportion. Also, a sari brings out the curves in a woman's figure fantastically. Keeping all these in mind, wearing a sari below the navel is a trend that should be welcomed and not be frowned upon. 

The style of wearing a sari below the navel is a harmonious blend of traditional and sexy. The fabrics that work the best with this trend are the chiffon, georgette, and net saris. If you can wear a cotton saree skilfully, then even a cotton saree can work wonders.

And if you are not comfortable with this style, then you are under no obligation to follow it, even if your friends are doing it. Remaining comfortable in whatever you are wearing should be the first thing on your list. 

There are ancient references of women wearing sarees below the navel in books like 'Natyashastra' and 'Silappadhikaram' in Tamil literature. Both books describe that wearing below the navel line is acceptable and makes women look divine.
