The best sarees to wear at home in the Indian summer are without a doubt old cotton sarees, simple in design and soft to the touch. Meghna Raj's outfit in the Malayalam movie Beautiful provides a good example. Here she is wearing a yellow-orange cotton designless saree, and complements it with a darker blouse. Both saree and blouse look sufficiently worn. A perfect dress for at-home work, or for going outside in the monsoon rains. This particular orange set will change colour when wet, but this is not shown in the movie.
The following is a different outfit combination, with a white-maroon printed saree and vermillion-red blouse. The pictures below compare her (a) doing normal household work while completely dry, (b) with wet hair but dry outfit after having come in from the rain, and (c) fully wet, drenched in rain.
