Traditional Chaniya Choli

Chaniya choli is the traditional Gujarati outfit women wear for Navratri nights. The skirt in this set is made up of meters upon meters of fabric. It is usually made up of three times more fabric than the regular lehenga. This is what gives it extraordinary and dramatic flair. The ghagra of this set is also made up of various materials. Each skirt has up to seven different textiles with different embroideries. Each embroidery technique comes from the Kutch region of Gujrat. It also has patches of vintage cloth attached. This is what gives the skirt the personalized feel for every girl. No two pieces will ever be the same!

Navratri Outfit Ideas: Saree

A saree is a festival classic that never goes out of style. For Navratri, you can opt for a patola saree and pair it with oxidized silver jewellery. If you do not like heavy sarees, you can just as easily wear chiffon, silk or georgette. To make the sarees look more festive, make sure that you have some sort of lace or fun work on it. Pair the saree with light jewellery and interesting makeup. You can experiment with the saree drapes if you wish to. Whilst the classic saree drape is classic for a reason, you can drape the six yards in multiple ways. Additionally, to have a more youthful look, you can experiment with blouses. 

Ghagra Choli

Noth is perfect for Navratri than a ghagra choli set. It is the perfect outfit for the Garba nights that you will attend with friends and family. A traditional chaniya choli has an extraordinary flare that sways with you during Garba. This is absolutely for the dramatic ones out there. However, if you want a less heavy and dramatic outfit, we suggest you opt for a minimalist lehenga. Avoid having a layer of can-can in the skirt. This will help keep the flowy movement of the lehenga while you dance. For a more traditional vibe, go for a patchwork lehenga choli paired with silver jewellery. To help make dancing easier, wear flats indeed of heels and don’t shy away from kohl-rimmed eyes.

Mirror Work Jacket

A fun twist on the many outfits for Navratri is a mirror work jacket. This heavily embellished number is a definite statement piece for the festive season. It is perfect for when you do not have a lot of time to dress up but still need to attend pirates. It goes with almost everything and is the ideal indo-western outfit. We suggest wearing neutral colours and solids as a base for the jacket on top. You do not need multiple things competing in the same outfit. Opt for heels for an added height against the bulk of the jacket. Do not shy away from makeup otherwise, your look might seem incomplete. If you are not a makeup buff, just stay classic with dark eyes and a natural base. This will get you through all the events without much effort.

Crop Top and Pants

A crop top and pants are the newest festive outfit for all the girls out there. It is easy to wear and easier to handle. You can get it in many designs and can style it in even more ways. Depending on the kind of crop top you have, you can wear the combo with a blazer or a jacket. You can also wear it with a dupatta if that is your vibe. Both heels and flats will look good with this outfit along with almost all kinds of jewellery.

You can style them in many ways with many things. Be it a short kurta or a crop top, dhoti pants go with everything. Opt for pants in fabrics like silk to add an extra festive element to them. For additional styling, you can wear it with a jacket on top and dance the night away.
