Navaratri fashion mantra

 

✨ Navratra Fashion Mantra ✨

Navratra is all about devotion, energy, colors, and celebration. Your fashion should reflect tradition with a modern twist so you stay stylish yet comfortable during fasting, pooja, and garba/dandiya nights. Here are some tips:

🌸 Colors of the Day – Each day of Navratri is associated with a specific color (yellow, green, grey, orange, white, red, royal blue, pink, purple). Wearing those shades enhances festive vibes.

🌸 Fusion Ethnic Wear

• Long skirts with crop tops & dupatta
• Dhoti pants with peplum kurti
• Palazzo with angrakha kurti

🌸 Classic Ethnic Choices

• Lehenga choli with mirror work for garba nights
• Anarkali suits or straight kurtas for pooja
• Sarees in georgette, chiffon, or silk with festive borders

🌸 Accessorize Right

• Oxidized silver jewelry (jhumkas, kada, maang tikka)
• Waist belts with lehenga for a chic garba look
• Embroidered potli or sling bag

🌸 Footwear

• Mojaris, kolhapuris, or embroidered juttis for comfort while dancing

🌸 Makeup & Hair

• Keep makeup radiant with kohl eyes & a pop of lipstick matching the color of the day
• Hairstyles like braids with accessories, messy buns, or open curls with parandi/tassels

🌸 Comfort First – Choose breathable fabrics like cotton, georgette, and silk blends so you can enjoy dandiya without feeling heavy.

👉 The mantra is: “Play with colors, mix tradition with comfort, and add a sparkle of accessories.”
