Chick Trench Coat
Shocked, how can a silk saree be worn as a trench coat? Yes, this is possible and very trendy as well. Take a cotton-silk saree with woven pattern and turn it into a collared trench coat. Look uber cool by tying up the waist.
Trousers and Palazzo Pants

For palazzo, you can use both plain and printed sarees, and team them up with crop tops to take the temperature high.
Indo-western Outfit
Why limit to either suit, dupatta or skirts, when you can make a complete set of the dress with the saree? If you have a half and half saree, you can use it to make a skirt and dupatta. Match them with the plain raw silk crop top and you are ready to rock the next wedding or another party.
