Is Saree A ‘Formal Wear’? If So, Why Not ‘Branded’ Toga?

The other day I met a few #saree-clad Indian entrepreneurs at work. Any road, I think ‘Would saree be a ‘formal wear’? When you chivvy up for a meeting, how could you be fastidious, draping a saree? I like sari as the best ethnic attire of India. I do drape sarees, but not to work. Besides, it’s one’s conception to account saree for formal wear. How could someone trust with a set of bobbins, when it comes to their modesty? In this case, if one could declare saree as a formal wear, “then why not a Toga”?

“Drape a saree, dress to kill”

Of course, cotton sarees are fabulous and I’m proud to own some. But, I find it appropriate to drape them for certain ethnic occasions.

Skirts, pants and blazers are feminine like that of saree. I don’t find shirt as a “threat to our culture”. I find it as a blast to be dressed in sober western formals, rather than sarees that make women look fit (however it’s draped).

“When saree could be a formal wear, why not Greek Togas?”

Indeed, why Greek Togas can’t serve as formal attire? Anyways, the enticing Helenic cultural wear looks great, instead of holding it with bobbins. Besides, it looks like a saree!

So, why can’t we “drape Toga as a formal wear”?

“Sarees aren’t easy peasy as formals”

“Cor, you blew me off!” this is how an Indian woman looks, when she is draped in saree. But saree has its pros and cons as a formal wear:

A woman becomes a total dekko at work, as saree makes her look fit. May it be draped modestly or … I cannot forget the couple of times, I was all naff because I draped a saree to work.

Rather than skirts, sarees tend to draw stares, so I would prefer it as a #ethnic wear.
