1. Changing trends from Western to traditional wear

The workwear was introduced such that each team members appearance positively reflected the company. When it came into vogue, people chose attires that were lightweight and looked professional, and hence the surge in the use of Western wear. The western textile industries had enough resources to promote their products and deem them highly suitable for professionals.

With the influx of Gen Y into work-force, Office wear doesn't mean wearing formals all the time anymore. Within a certain dress code ethics, people are allowed to wear what they like.

We, women, especially Indian women love colours. How drab one's existence must feel if you have to wear the same monochrome Western outfits every single day? But the good news is that the winds of change are here. Kanjivaram sarees are available in lightweight versions, unlike the traditional ones. They're easy to carry and comfortable to wear.

2. A wild assortment of colours and designs

Those days are long gone when Kanchipuram silk sarees were reserved for weddings and special occasions. Currently, Kanjivaram weaves boast of colours and colour combinations that surpass an artist's palette. There are borderless sarees, thread woven sarees, with and without zari, printed versions and lightly embroidered sarees. These blend perfectly with your work environment, simultaneously giving you a polished, graceful look.

But the saree that has a mention in the Vedas and has lasted for thousands of years, in itself is a testimony for its competence.
