As much as heritage weaves and hand-me-downs are an irreplaceable part of every woman’s wardrobe, new-age contemporary sarees are a must-have too! While bold motifs, traditional arts, and culture-specific designs have been a collection staple, modern-day designers have been experimenting with symmetrical, geometric motifs to give an eclectic edge to the nine-yards. 

A Bollywood favourite, geometric sarees feature all sorts of patterns from circles and checks, to stripes, triangles, and chevron. One can expect a lot of stunning contemporary designs without taking away the grace and elegance of the age-old saree. If you are someone who is looking for breezy chiffon and organza sarees, or a bride-to-be looking to add sarees to their bridal trousseau, you can go for geometric designs on Kanjeevaram silk, Banarasi sarees, Patola sarees and more.
