Navratri is almost here, and along with devotion, it’s also the time for colors, music, and fashion experiments. This year, the nine-day festival will be celebrated from September 22 to October 2, 2025. While rituals and pujas hold a sacred place, evenings are all about energetic garba nights, dazzling outfits, and festive cheer.
Beyond lehengas: modern Navratri fashion trends
For years, lehengas, chaniya cholis, and ghagras have been the go-to Navratri outfits. But today’s fashion-forward crowd is embracing fresh fusion styles. From chic kurtis with skirts to layered Indo-Western gowns, young women and men are redefining festive fashion. The new buzz this year? Boho-fusion denims, a quirky yet comfortable twist for garba lovers.
