Triangle Saree

Where two colours meet on the diagonal
The triangle saree is one of the shapes we're proudest of. Instead of a straight split, the two colours meet on a diagonal, so the pleats and pallu fall into sharp angled blocks. The line draws the eye in at the waist.
Most are light georgette, which stays comfortable through a long evening. The core range pairs black with red, yellow, white, blue, green or fuchsia, often with posh black blouse fabric for a crisp finish. In satin, the triangle becomes a chevron with more sheen.
If you're new to sarees, start here. The panels make neat pleating far easier, even on a first try. The black colourways also work season after season, so one triangle saree can see a lot of parties.
Style it clean: a black posh or sequin blouse, a slim belt at the waist, drop earrings and a sleek low bun. Several colourways also come pre-draped. For more two-tone looks, see our colour block sarees.
Good to know
What fabric are triangle sarees made in?
Mostly georgette, which drapes softly. A few chevron versions use satin for extra sheen.
Do they come with a blouse?
They come with blouse fabric, often in black posh or a matching shade. Pair one with a ready-made blouse if you'd rather skip stitching.
How does the pre-draped version work?
The pleats are stitched in, with elastic at the back of the waist and invisible hooks. One size fits waists from 28 to 42 inches.
