Perhaps the most common type of office wear sari is the printed saree. Printed casual sarees are normally made of comparatively thin materials like cotton or georgette that are porous and show up the prints well. The prints can be distinctive Indian styles depicting fruits, flowers, birds, trees and mythological figures or warli prints. They can also be trendy, showing abstract shapes, simple lines and waves or polka dots. Many of the latest office wear saree designs are of Batik, Madhubani and Warli. The hand printed ones tend to look more genuine and vibrant than machine printed fabrics, but women prefer the latter for office wear as they are affordable, but also more durable.
