Wearing a sari with any tightly fitting cropped top is fine. You are not breaking any rules, because there are none. We honor the tradition of the sari by bringing it into our lives in a way that works for us. It's easy to hem your normal dressy t-shirt a few inches higher so that it just graces the top of your sari waistline. Perfect, comfy and involves no futzing with a measuring tape!
Gujarati Style
The Gujarati style of wearing a saree requires the pallu to be draped in the front rather than over the shoulder. Sarees with eye-catching magnificent pallus are best worn in this style.
Bengali Style
The Bengali style of wearing a saree has no pleats and is elegantly draped around the body and the pallu has a bunch of keys that falls over the shoulder.
Coorgi Style
The Coorgi style of Karnataka of draping a saree involves tying the pleats in the rear instead of the front and a small portion of the pallu is placed over the shoulder.
Maharashtrian Nauvari Style
The women of Maharashtra wear a nine-yard saree called Nauvari. It is worn like a dhoti at the bottom while the upper portion is worn like a normal saree with the pallu tucked in the waist.
