Gujarati Sari Drape This draping style has become incredibly popular thanks to all the TV shows with gorgeous Gujarati women and their perfectly pleated saris.

Mermaid Style Sari Adopted from the original mermaid style outfits, this draping style is figure hugging and flatters the hips. It tightens against the body and flares again at the bottom. Recommended for petite women, it is also very comfortable as the pallu isn't in the way and is safely tucked behind. Mumtaz Style Drape Inspired by the legend Mumtaz's style of dressing, this drape is a retro delight. This draping style has no pleats and the sari is often made to fit into just this drape, with a narrowing border that fits like a wraparound around the body.

This is the right choice if you're looking for an indo-western look and you can spice things up with printed leggings and a bold belt if you want to experiment. Kerala Style Drape Closer to home, the Kerala style drape or Mundu Neriyathum has two parts to a sari that are draped separately and one is tucked behind. This looks best in the traditional white sari with golden border and gives a very clean, simple and minimalist look. Lehenga Drape Now this is barely a sari but can easily pass off as one. The concept is to tie your duppatta around the lehenga and over the blouse like a makeshift pallu, giving the illusion of a sari.
