The Indian summer is no joke. The high temperatures, the blazing sun, and the humidity can put doubt on even the most stylish of us. Does that mean we should pack our saree away until the temperature is cooler? Absolutely not. With a little thought on fabric, color, and draping, sarees can be the ultimate summer statement. 

Light, breathable, and elegant — the right saree will keep you fresh and feeling great. Let us take you through some fashionable and comfortable picks from Bandhani Villa perfect for summer weddings, brunches, or your next casual outing.

Trendy & Comfortable Picks for Hot Weather

1. Fabric First: Why It Matters
