The Perfect Blend

It is often said that Indian women are too conscious of their bodies and are hence skeptical when it comes to buying swimwear. Perhaps to battle this very fear,swimwear designers Shivan and Narresh have come up with a unique offering — the bikini sari. An invention that brings together the ‘freedom of the bikini’ and the ‘modesty of the sari’,it boasts of versatility in draping. “This effortless ensemble is an extension of our vision for swimsuits; it can be worn by women of all sizes and on several occasions — be it a cocktail party at a beach,a honeymoon or even a brunch,” says the duo,adding that the bikini sari is made up of polyamide and elastane and is as thin as 90 GSM,making it similar to a chiffon sari. Available in pink,black and cream,the outfit’s fabric is technologically advanced to be resistant to UV rays,sunscreen and body oils,pilling and curling. Looks like lounging around in swimwear without any inhibitions just got easier.
