Stylish sequin sarees that help get all glammed up on special days
Most weddings now have a cocktail night tucked in somewhere between the mehendi and the pheras. It's usually the most relaxed function of the lot, with music, drinks and a lot of dancing. A heavy silk saree feels a bit much for it, and a plain georgette can look flat once the disco lights come on. That's where sequins come in, since they pick up every bit of light in the room. Myntra has quite a few sequin sarees from Saree mall, Anouk and others that work well for the night.

The fabric makes more difference than people think. Satin and tissue have a soft sheen of their own, so the sequins look richer on them. Net and georgette are lighter, which helps if you plan to be on the dance floor for hours. If draping isn't your thing, there's a ready-to-wear one in here too. Do check the wash care, because some can be hand washed and some need the dry cleaner. All five picks below come from Myntra.

Sangria's designer saree is gold-toned tissue, with an embellished border and sequin detail. The blouse piece is tissue as well and comes unstitched. Myntra lists the fabric as tissue satin. It runs to 5.5 metres, with 0.8 metres for the blouse. Like most of the others, it needs dry cleaning.
Key Features:
Why Buy:
Gold tissue has a shine of its own, so the sequins only add to it. It goes with both gold and kundan jewellery. It's also the easiest on the wallet of the five.
Each of these five will catch the light at a cocktail night, though they suit slightly different people. The off-white Saree Mall satin and the gold Sangria tissue are the dressier ones. Anouk's lavender net is the lightest to dance in. HERE&NOW's black and gold is the safe all-rounder, and it can be hand-washed. Tikhi Imli's pink ready-to-wear saree is for anyone who doesn't want to fuss with pleats. Pick the colour that works with your jewellery, and buy these products on Myntra today! Shop now on Myntra.
