How we'd wear it

Date night, but make it a saree

A Valentine's dinner doesn't have to mean a little black dress. We've gathered our reds, pinks and wines for date nights, anniversary dinners and galentine brunches. Pick a full saree, a new blouse for one you already own or a relaxed co-ord. The colour story stays tight, so it all mixes.

Sarees make up most of it. There's paradise satin in fuchsia and plum, wine satin with bronze pendants and red organza with lace, softened by pink organza with diamond beads on the pallu. The blouses come in halter, off-shoulder, bell sleeve, ring-detail and velvet styles. There's also a pink stripe satin dress and a pink sequin belt.

Our pick for a restaurant dinner: a plum satin saree, an off-shoulder blouse and very little jewellery. Our structured ready-made blouses come padded, so even a halter or backless style needs nothing underneath. For brunch, the stripe satin dress with the sequin belt keeps it playful. And a blouse or belt makes a lovely surprise gift.

If you mainly want to restyle what you own, our party blouses have the widest choice of necklines and backs. For birthdays and anniversaries later on, see our celebration sarees.
