The festival starts with pure intentions and peace! We've picked this pristine white chikankari kurta that has this stunning subtle red piping details at the neck and sleeves. Absolutely love the interplay of floral chikankari with the checkered self fabric brought together with the pop of red. Wear it with a pair of red churidars, light jhumkas and silver bangles. You can also wear it as a midi dress on your brunch dates, while styling it with classic hopes and platform heels.

There's something extremely ethereal about wearing red for Navratri. Could be because the colour is so deeply associated with Goddess Durga who rules these nine days religiously. So, if like us, you have strong feelings about dressing up in red, go all out with a stunning saree. This one from WeaverStory is in red organza and features stunning zardosi bel embroidery. Tie your hair up in a bun and keep the blouse design simple to let the saree be the star.

Day 3: Blue

If you're up for this outfit, you're sure to grab eyeballs. Bold prints, bright Indigo colour and a hint of drama with the beaded border at the neck. The printed cape is supposed to be worn over the bralette and the pants, and we can't help but love this contemporary twist to the traditional outfit. It's perfect for making an entrance at a garba party and would look stunning in pictures.

The blooming colourful floral print and the bright yellow shade made us add this lehenga set to our Navratri dressing wishlist. The mirror work detail on the edges adds elegance to the attire. Also, a classic lehenga-choli silhouette is the perfect fit for dancing the night away at a dandiya night because who doesn't like owning a twirl moment.

Oh, how we love for our outfits to flare when we're dancing! This lovely green anarkali will make all those Garba and Navratri puja photos look fab. We love the mix-and-match of prints between the florals and the striped patti in the hemline. Also, the neck line is modest and since it comes with a dupatta, you are sorted for wearing it the temple too.

Keeping it light and easy, we've picked this easy-breezy cotton kurta set. The dupatta hemline has a gold  border that brings in that dressy element. You can go heavy on accessorizing to add that oomph. Wear a traditional kamar patta and multi-colour earrings. Also, opt for cute juttis to go with the salwar pants.

Peacocks are known to dance gracefully, and that's what Garba nights are to us. And so, we've picked this peacock green kurta set with an elegant embroidery patch at the neckline. Pair your antique jewellery with peacock motifs and get ready to take over the dance floor with this one.

We cannot imagine Navratri without Bandhani. So, for the last day this pink kurta set has made it to our favourites. It's lightweight and vibrant and has that Gujarati vibe to it, thanks to the mirror motifs and unique tie up neck design. Also, the crinkled fabric with the prints screams Navratri! Pair it with oxidised chaandbalis and layered necklaces. Also wear payals if you can seamlessly carry them while dancing.
