Summer Treats for your Wardrobe!

The sun is shining brighter than ever and it’s time to get rid of the warm clothes. This summer, pack your closet with light weight, soft and comfortable clothes.

Keep these 3 things in mind while you shop:

1. Fabric: If the material feels thick or coarse, drop it.

2. Colour: The saying “Do not wear black on a sunny day” is not a myth! The truth is that, the colour black and any dark shade for that matter absorbs heat and makes you feel hotter.

3. Type: On a general note, stick to wearing moderately fitting clothes. Clothes that fit perfectly can be suffocating and can become a nuisance. The type of dress you wear on a summer day can make or break your day!

Ethnic wear has got the widest collection to choose from. From sarees to salwar suits to festive lehengas, we have something for everyone’s need! At least 60% of Indian women wear sarees on a regular basis. It is a wonder how they pull it off with such ease and style, be it at work or at home! In attempt to make it easy and interesting for saree lovers, at Pothys, we have aisles and floors of sarees in various fabrics, colours, designs.

Summer is also a time when festivities and events pop up every so frequently. Silk sarees are what one will be expected to wear. When attending a formal event or a family function, the must-haves in your wardrobe are Tussar silk, Uppada silk, Ikat silk and Soft silks. For other casual, informal events try these - Georgette designer sarees, Chiffon, Linen sarees, Organza and Mysore silk sarees and for the daily-affairs, pile up on Pure cotton, Silk cotton, Maheshwar cotton and Bengal cotton.

                                

                                                       

From the remaining 40% of Indian women, 25% wear salwar suits. It is the second most comfortable outfit on any given day. It is desired by women of all ages because of its versatility. There will atleast be two salwar suits/ kurti in every women’s wardrobe. There are simple, casual work wear designs to grand designer, festive ones.

Selecting the right bridal saree

Each woman has her own way of picking up sarees for herself. For instance, some may go by colours, some by fabric, others may go for sarees that suit their body type or depending on the designs available.

Here are some important aspects that we need to keep in mind before wedding shopping:

Plan Ahead: Start planning 2-3 months before the wedding -so that you will have the time to browse and choose the perfect saree!

Budget: Budget plays an important role when you pick silk sarees. There are many different varieties in different price ranges that are available. Therefore, to make your choices faster, it’s best to finalize a budget for your saree shopping.

Time of the event: It is very important to make sure you shop according to the time of the event. The day events lighter fabrics and shades are preferable. If you go for shades like black and brown for a day event, you might look overdressed.

Whereas, if it’s a evening/ night function ( reception or sangeet) saree s with rich look and heavy embroidery, stone work and zari work are suitable. Silk Sarees such as Banarasi Silk Sarees, Mysore Silk Sarees, Kancheepuram silk, Georgette, etc. are perfect!

Fabric:  The fabric of your saree can enhance your beauty on the special day. The choice of fabric can make you look slim or bulky accordingly. It also plays a role when it comes to comfort. Kancheepuram or wedding silks are on the heavier side, whereas silk cotton and soft silk are not too heavy and make sure you get a classy look!

Color: We would recommend going for colors such as yellow, red and pink for weddings. There are also other gorgeous colors that one can go for based on their skin tone.

Zari: The design, embellishments and work on the saree is also something that needs to be paid attention to.  If you are choosing a saree or lehenga for a sangeet, then go for designs that are not too heavy as they are comfortable. Sarees with heavy embellishments are perfect for a reception look as you won’t be moving around too much.

Mysore Silk Sarees from Pothys

A silk saree is a sense of pride for any Indian women for its exquisite design and luxurious lustre. Among the various types of silk sarees in India, ‘Mysore silk’ is known for its minimalistic design, vibrant colours and the rich feel of the fabric. This hand spun traditional silk is one of the purest forms of silk in India with the usage of pure silk and 100% pure gold zari (a golden coloured thread containing 65% of silver and 0.65% of gold).

Mysore silk is the trademark for the silks manufactured by Karnataka Silk Industry Corporation (KSIC). The making of these exquisite silks can be dated back to 1912 when the maharaja of Mysore imported 32 looms from Switzerland to manufacture silks just to meet the requirements of the royal family and the ornamental fabrics of his armed forces. However, the organised production started only in 1980, after the factory was handed over to Karnataka Silk Industries Corporation which is commonly known as KSIC. At present,the Mysore silk factory produces more than 35,000 metres of pure silk fabric per month and nearly 4,25,000 meters per year, which are made into beautiful sarees and dress materials.

These Mysore silk sarees are going through many changes and makeovers by adding new styles with a range of colours to make the already popular silk form even more attractive and tempting. There are around 300 wide varieties of colours used in making these sarees with almost 115 vivid design combinations. The beauty of these sarees lies in the intricate work of the ‘Zari’, which is the golden lace border running throughout the edges of the saree.

Now-a-days, some of the Indian traditional designs like Bhandhini and kasturi embroidery are infused into the making of Mysore silk sarees to cater to a wider audience from different regions. To preserve the authenticity of these silk sarees KSIC has introduced ‘Fusion Label’ which is a Nano-technology hot press which has made counterfeiting impossible. This revolutionary initiative is on the lines by the similar decision taken Silk Mark Organisation of India of the Union ministry of textiles.

If you want to own these aristocratic silk sarees which has adorned the kings and queens of Mysore for decades, you don’t have to travel to Mysore. Pothys have stocked up the best of these silk sarees in wider colour combinations to suit your taste and preferences.
