Farewell, Hits Different. One day, you're chilling in your last bench squad, sharing chips during chemistry, and the next, you're posing for your final group pic, trying not to cry while figuring out how to walk in a saree. Farewell season is a whole mood. It's messy, magical, and honestly… unforgettable.

Wearing a saree for your farewell? It’s more than tradition. It’s the moment you realise you’re not the girl who joined school in oversized shoes anymore. You’ve grown up. And you deserve a farewell look that feels just as special.

But of course, the what-to-wear panic is real. What kind of saree? Which colour? What if the pleats betray you mid-walk? Deep breaths, we've got you.

How to Pick the Perfect Farewell Saree

Your farewell saree should feel like you. Not your cousin’s wedding vibe, not your mom’s old Banarasi, but something that lets you shine, stay comfy, and create memories you’ll want to frame.

Comfort is non-negotiable. You’ll be hugging friends, walking across stages, probably crying a little, so pick fabrics that breathe and drape like a dream. Mulberry silk, dola silk, viscose blends, and gajji silks are great picks for first-time saree wearers.

Style that feels like you. Pastels work beautifully under natural light (hello, golden hour photos), while deeper tones like navy or grey are classy and timeless. Look for subtle zari, soft jacquard textures, and prints like Bandhani or Ajrakh that keep things rooted and trendy.

Trend, but make it personal. Pre-draped or ready-to-wear sarees are lifesavers. They're perfect if you’ve never worn a saree before or just want to keep things chill without sacrificing style.

3 Tips to Carry Your Saree Like a Pro

1. Pin it right. One at the shoulder, one at the waist, and that’s it. No over-pinning, no stiffness. Let it flow.

2. Shoes matter. First-timers, skip stilettos. Block heels or even embroidered juttis will keep you comfy and cute.

3. Your clutch is your survival kit. Safety pins, tissues, lipstick, mini perfume, be the girl who came prepared.

The Final Word: You’re Gonna Be That Girl

Your farewell is a page you’ll flip back to over and over. Make sure your saree feels like part of the story, not a costume you wore for photos.

And if you’re looking for styles that are easy to wear, emotionally rooted, and 100% pretty without trying too hard, the collection at Bandhani Villa has everything you have been waiting for. From soft silks to pre-draped prints, they’ve got pieces that understand your nostalgia and your camera angles.
