Just thinking about the humid Korean summers makes me sweat. Inspired by the India threads of late, and ella, I am thinking of ordering some sarees. Check out the site below.

I am just wondering what you guys and gals think. Would a non-Indian, light haired woman, get away with struting around Korea in this kind of outfit?

Only if you can get matching adjumma visor.

OF course!
Sorry I find this ridiculous, wear whatever you want who cares.
Fashions has always been influenced by cultural attire, mixing it up to create trends.
And anyway, what about the case of a blonde haired baby being adopted by Indians? I'm sure they wear saris

I just finished reading Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri, she spells it S-A-R-I.

Just wondering if there are two spellings for it?

Are you going to wear one that exposes your stomach and belly button?

My goodness, these women are beautiful!

Go for it. I used to wear a sari quite often when I was braving the muggy summers of DC. They are cute, comfortable, and nice and breezy.

I guess it's better than white people with dreadlocks, or English teachers in Korea wearing those straw rice farmers' hats.

I think for a special occasion, you can just about wear anything you want - if you are the kind of person who likes to stand out in a crowd?

I mean, the same can probably apply to traditional costumes from other countries - should westerners wear hanbook? kimono? qipao?

Conversely, should asian and other nations wear a white wedding dress when walking down the aisle?

Saris are gorgeous and given the chance, I would most definitely wear one.

Love this one in the burgundy colour:

Freedom of expression. You can wear anything you want. That means I can wear a Sikh turban and carry the dagger around.

Salwar Kameez is a little different than a sari, anyways.
