Sarees should always be worn wet

Sarees should always be worn wet.

Not everywhere, of course. That would be silly.

One should first be in a tropical country. Preferably one that is somewhat humid. Parts of India and the whole of Bangladesh fit the bill perfectly.

Ok, now that that is out of the way, why would anyone want to wear a wet saree. After all, if one has to wear a saree, wouldn't it be better to wear one that is, you know, dry? After all, isn't that the socially acceptable way?

Well, yes. And that *is* the point.

Being socially acceptable implies a death of innovation and a dearth of soul. Also, it isn't as comfortable.

So, back to my original point. Sarees should always be worn wet.

An automatic question arises. One of logistics. It is rather difficult to actually put on a soaking wet saree. Have you tried it? I have. Not easy. It helps if you wring out some of the water though. As in, soak your saree, wring it out so that the saree is merely wet and not dripping water anymore, and then give it a shot. It *should* be easier. It would be even easier if you could expend a few more calories and really give it a thorough wringing, so that the saree is now wet-moist and somewhat less clingy. A proper wet saree will cling everywhere and make it next to impossible to wrap around. A wet-moist saree, on the other hand, will make life easier. While it won't cling as much when you are in the act of wearing it, it will conform to your breasts, buttocks, hips and body once you have put it one tight. Remember always to tuck in your moist-wet pallu (because the pallu dries a little faster) into your wet saree-waist (because the saree-waist dries the slowest).

The second method of wearing a wet saree is to first wear a dry or a damp one and then apply water as you see fit. It might be more comfortable to not start with a perfectly dry saree. Better to begin with a damp one, one that has been drying for a few hours in a humid environment. That way, you wouldn't have to break the rule and wear a dry saree while still being able to wear the saree without any trouble. The downside of course is that you will no longer be able to control the level of wetness your saree has when you wet it after you wear it. Also, you will also become wet along with your saree, which should be avoided while going to work. At work, be professional. The only part of your body that should be wet should be your saree and your blouse, and  not you.
