Teej isn’t just a date on the calendar. It’s that moment when your mom lays out fresh clothes, the house smells like marigolds, and everyone’s a little more in love with traditionals. And whether you’re going all out or keeping it sweet and simple this year, what you wear can feel just as heartfelt.
This time, we’re leaning into hand embroidery because it’s made slowly, thoughtfully, and with real human hands. And every stitch carries a little bit of emotion.
Here are five teej dress ideas from Namastay that feel just right. These are full of green, grace, and gorgeous details.
1. Sadia Green Chikankari Short Kurta
For the “I’ll keep it chill but cute” kind of day
Sometimes, Teej is quiet: just you, your prayers, and maybe your favorite playlist humming in the background. The Sadia short kurta fits that kind of mood. It’s soft, easy, and embroidered with the kind of chikankari that feels nostalgic. Pair it with jeans, palazzos, or even a skirt if you're feeling creative.
Style it with: silver jhumkas, kohl-rimmed eyes, and bare feet on the balcony.
2. Yashmin Green Cotton Kashmiri Kurta & Pants Set
For the traditional core memory moment
This one’s for when you want to dress for the ritual and not just the ‘gram. The Yashmin set has soft Kashmiri embroidery on rich green cotton, paired with matching pants that make it effortless. It feels like something your grandmother would smile at: classic, simple, and beautiful.
Style it with: flowers in your hair and a dupatta you borrowed from your mom’s wardrobe.
3. Basil Green Kashmiri Embroidered Short Cotton Kaftan
For when you’re hosting, fasting, and still showing up with sparkle
Hosting doesn’t have to mean sacrificing comfort. The Basil kaftan gives you the space to breathe and move while still looking festive. It’s embroidered with Kashmiri motifs that catch the light just enough to feel special.
Style it with: bold bangles, loose curls, and a plate of homemade sweets in hand.
4. Alia Green Cotton Kashmiri Kurta & Pants Set
For those Teej plans that turned into full-blown celebrations
We see you RSVP’d to one thing and now are showing up at five. The Alia set is your power move. Kashmiri embroidery, an elegant silhouette, and the kind of fit that makes you stand taller without trying.
Style it with: statement earrings, pulled-back hair, and maybe your favorite block heels.
5. Ulfat Panna Green Bandhej-Chikan Cotton Kurta
For when you want to feel festive but still stay grounded
This kurta brings together two loves: Bandhej and Chikan. It’s bright, playful, and stitched with intention. Perfect for when you want to turn heads, but only because you’re radiating joy.
Style it with: stacked bangles, soft makeup, and a little bit of nostalgia.
Why Hand-Embroidery Just Feels Right for Teej
Because more than fashion. its memory.
Because someone sat down and stitched love into the fabric you now wear.
Because real craft connects us to something bigger, something older, something more tender.
Each piece from Namastay’s Teej edit has that energy, and wearing it is like saying “this matters” without saying a word.
