Your Day-by-Day Navratri Outfit Guide (Because Planning Nine Looks is Actually Fun)
Let’s be real, half the fun of Navratri begins two weeks prior, when you're lying in bed at midnight, scrolling through your phone, and stressing over what to wear each day. The colors, the accessories, the “will this dupatta survive garba” calculations. It’s a whole ordeal, and let’s be honest, we’re obsessed with it.
Each day is a different avatar of the goddess and has its own color. Whether you stick to it religiously, use it as a guide, or just take inspiration, having a plan in place ensures you’re not frantically rummaging through your closet at 6 pm. Here’s your Navratri fashion guide with pieces to shop, making it even simpler for you.
Day 1 - Shailaputri
Grey/Beige It's completely fine to start off on a low note. Hina Beige Kashmiri Cotton Coord Set is an appropriate and decent outfit for day one. It's embroidered, comfortable, and not too dressed up, making it perfect for day one. Pair it with some silver earrings and flat juttis, and you’re ready to go to the temple!
Day 2 - Brahmacharini:
Orange Now we’re talking. Orange says, "I showed up, and I'm ready to dance." Make sure you can move in your outfit, though, because garba waits for no one! Pair your orange outfit with some gold jewelry and wedges, and you’re all set!
Day 3 - Chandraghanta:
White is an interesting choice during festival time. It's like saying, "I'm not even trying, and I still look good." Pair that with the XoXo White Kashmiri Coord Cotton Kurta Pants Set, and you’re all set. It's elegant and embroidered, so you won’t have to put in any effort. Just throw on some colorful bangles and some kitten heels if you’re going out for some dandiya tonight!
Day 4 - Kushmanda
Red is never in need of an excuse during Navratri. The Myra Red Fringe Kashmiri Cotton Kaftan Coord Set is bold, beautiful, and has that perfect shade of red that looks good under string lights. Add some strappy shoes and a mini shoulder bag, and you’re ready to go for an evening out.
Day 5 - Skandamata:
Royal Blue Mid-festival, people begin to notice those who always look put together. The Abia Blue Ajrakh Kurta Shirt Dhoti Coord Set does all the heavy lifting here. Dhoti pants are comfortable enough for an extended evening out and interesting enough that someone will definitely inquire about where they were procured. Beaded jewelry and you’re good to go.
Day 6 - Katyayani:
Yellow Wear something sunny and don’t overthink it. The She’s My Sunshine Yellow Kashmiri Coord Cotton Kurta Pants Set is precisely what Day 6 demands. It’s bright, comfortable, and designed for a long day of puja followed by even longer nights of socialising. Keep the jewellery earthy and warm-toned. A potli bag completes the look.
Day 7 - Kalaratri:
Green It’s the time of Navratri when you go a little extra and no one judges you. The Yashmin Green Cotton Kashmiri Kurta and Pants Set is elegant and celebratory without being over-the-top. Wear the bangles layered, the maang tikka, the bold bindi, and go all out.
Day 8 - Mahagauri:
Peacock Green/Teal The Alia Green Cotton Kashmiri Kurta and Pants Set will look stunning in the deeper, cooler green that Day 8 demands. Keep the look sleek with kohl eyes, a nude lip, and a single piece of jewellery. Sometimes the most put-together look is the one when you didn’t try to do too much.
Day 9 - Siddhidatri:
Purple/Pink The last night calls for your best outfit, full stop. The Adab Pink Ajrakh Kurta Shirt Coord Set is a beautiful pink-purple hue that transitions into Diwali and Durga Puja celebrations as well. So, you’re not buying something that you’re only going to wear once. Go for pearls, winged eyeliner, a great lip color. Make the most of every last minute of it.
Nine days is a long time until you’re on Day 7 thinking it’s almost over. Browse through the range of festive coord sets at Namastay. Every single piece is handcrafted by Indian artisans to ensure that it lasts more than a single festive season.
