what do you guys think of black women in sarees?

Question

Im a black girl,and ive always been fascinated with sarees, unfortunately i can t wear them cuz ppl would look at me funny. What would you guys think if u say a black woman in such a garment? would you think she is betraying her own heritage?

Answer 1

nahh itd be fine.. just depends on the occasion
if u were just casually walking down the street wearing one.. itd be odd
get invited to an indian wedding or something and then wear one

Answer 2

To be honest, I think that Saris look best on Indian women when worn in countries outside of India. When in India a person of another ethnicity wearing them just looks like their enjoying the full culture of the people. In other places it looks odd, whether you're black, white, hispanic, whatever. It's not because I think they're betraying their heritage or anything though. Just doesn't look right to me personally. I mean, how would a white woman look if she ran around in a full-on kimono? Weird. Although if you like them, wear them. It's not about what other people think, but what you do. If you like it then go ahead.
