Independence Day isn’t far away — India is completing 75 years of independence this year. And what better outfit fits this occasion more than the much-loved saree! All around the country, from schoolgirls to elderly women, a white saree sparks feelings of enthusiasm, peace and love. Adding the national colours — saffron, green and blue makes it the outfit of choice for Independence Day functions.
Just a note for those who are concerned: The Indian parliament passed a law in 2015 that allows you to wear the national flag and associated colours on dresses, costumes and uniforms, as long as you do it in a respectable manner.
So we girls can show our patriotism and love for India with saffron, white, green and blue! Here’s a small but interesting collection of Tiranga-pattern sarees that will give you some ideas on what to wear this August 15th:

This white and orange linen saree with floral design by Peachmode is amazingly beautiful. It has pretty floral embroidery work which makes it more eye-catching. Further, the orange color Bangalori silk blouse piece can be made according to your requirements.
Although this saree has all the colours of the National Flag, it doesn’t look specially crafted for Independence Day; you can easily wear it at your usual functions and parties. This multi-purpose pattern combined with the price makes it an ideal choice, if you ask me.

10. White & Orange Floral Pure Cotton Independence Day Saree
If you’re looking for a cool saree to wear on any given day of the year — not just Independence Day — then this is a perfect choice. It’s floral pattern and side green border give it unique look that makes it a great fit for any occasion from business lunch to anniversary dinner.
The extremely light cotton impressed me the most. The light weight makes this saree easy to carry, especially when you’re attending a function where you’re given some duties and responsibilities.
The only thing I didn’t appreciate, especially since this is from a common site like Myntra, is that this saree does not come with a blouse piece. I’m not sure why they aren’t providing a blouse piece — a matching blouse piece is the norm these days, online or offline. Having said that, if you’re someone like me who always wears mix-and-match blouse-saree combinations, it won’t be a big deal for you. You can match it with any cotton, velvet, plain or fancy blouse that has any of the colours of the national flag. I think it will look amazing if you team it up with a green or orange coloured blouse.
