With nine nights of joy, music, and vibrant colours, every woman looks forward to curating her wardrobe to match the festive spirit.

This Navratri, explore the beauty of ethnic wear that blends culture with style. Here’s your ultimate guide to choosing the best outfits for those unforgettable festive nights.
Sarees for Timeless Festive Elegance
When it comes to ethnic wear, nothing matches the allure of a saree. For Navratri, lightweight fabrics like georgette sarees or cotton silk sarees work beautifully, as they let you move with ease while dancing. Rich jewel tones such as emerald green, ruby red, and sapphire blue resonate with the celebratory vibe.
For a modern twist, you can drape your saree in a pre-stitched style or pair it with a statement blouse featuring mirror work or sequins. A floral georgette saree with a minimal border will keep your look festive yet breathable through the night.
Vibrant Lehengas for Garba Nights
A Navratri celebration feels incomplete without lehengas. The twirl of a lehenga during Garba captures the true essence of the festival. Opt for printed lehengas with mirror work blouses or embroidered lehengas with dupattas that add drama without weighing you down.
If you prefer comfort over heavy embroidery, cotton lehenga sets from SHREE are a great choice. They come in festive shades of maroon, mustard, and navy, letting you dance freely while still making a style statement. Pair your lehenga with chunky silver jewellery or oxidised bangles to complete the Garba-ready look.
Ethnic Sets for Effortless Style
For women who want both elegance and comfort, kurta sets with dupattas are a go-to option. They are easy to carry, perfect for long hours of dancing, and versatile enough to be worn beyond the festival.
Choose A-line kurtas with flared palazzos for a breezy silhouette or straight-fit kurtas with churidar pants for a sharp traditional look. SHREE’s cotton ethnic sets with festive prints like paisley, floral, or Mughal motifs make excellent picks for Navratri evenings.
Comfortable yet Stylish Kurtis
Not every night requires heavy dressing. On days when you want to keep it light yet festive, printed kurtis are a must-have. Pair them with leggings or skirts, depending on your style preference.
Mirror work, bandhani prints, and gota patti detailing instantly give your kurti a festive edge. A yellow bandhani print kurti from SHREE teamed with oxidised earrings and mojris can be your fuss-free yet dazzling Navratri outfit.
Fusion Fashion for a Modern Twist
Fusion wear is a growing favorite among younger women who like to mix tradition with trend. Think long ethnic jackets over crop tops and skirts, or kurti paired with dhoti pants for a fun, playful vibe.
A printed shrug from SHREE layered over a plain kurta set can instantly transform your look into something chic yet traditional. This blend of comfort and fashion is perfect for high-energy Dandiya nights.
Dresses with Festive Flair
Another refreshing choice for Navratri evenings is ethnic-inspired dresses. A-line maxi dresses with festive prints, flowy anarkali dresses, or georgette dresses with dupattas bring elegance while ensuring ease of movement.
For example, SHREE’s Liva fabric dresses in bright hues like red, teal, or fuchsia make stunning picks for women who love minimal effort but maximum style.
