Navratri is an indicator of the festive season kicking off, and the months to come are all about embracing your roots and traditions until it's time to say Happy New Year again. It's also the time when all our Gujarati folks (and others who love garba) come together to celebrate Navratri with music and a dance party that would put Tomorrowland to shame.

If you too have Navratri events lined up and want to look your absolute best while also staying on top of the religious aspects of Navratri, we have curated this list of stunning outfit ideas for Navratri based on which colour to wear on each day of Navratri. From vibrant outfits to statement earrings and blingy juttis — it's the time to go all out and make maximalism your buddy. Here is our day-wise style guide for some outfit inspiration.

LBB Tip: Navratri starts on 22 September and ends on 2 October in 2025. It's going to be ten days long this time because of the third day elongated 'tithi' situation, so you can use day 3 outfit ideas on two days.
