Navratri is one of the most vibrant festivals of India - nine nights of devotion, dance, and colour that celebrate the many forms of Goddess Durga. Each day is dedicated to a different avatar of the goddess, and every form is associated with a symbolic colour. Dressing in these hues is considered auspicious and adds a festive rhythm to your celebrations.
This year, let your Navratri wardrobe be a perfect blend of devotion and design with WeaverStory’s handcrafted weaves, jewellery, and accessories. Here’s our day-by-day guide to dressing for the nine nights (and the victory of the tenth day).
Day 1 – Royal Blue Radiance | Shailputri Mata
Symbol of prosperity and energy
Begin Navratri with the richness of royal blue. You can opt for our Royal Blue Pure Silk Saree with Satin Finishing that drapes beautifully, reflecting the goddess’s grace and power.
Style Tip: Pair this saree with silver heritage jewellery, a statement cocktail ring, and a golden brocade potli for a truly regal look.
Day 2 – Sunshine Yellow Glow | Brahmacharini Mata
Joy, brightness, and positivity
Step into joy with the brightness of yellow. We advise you to choose the Handloom Yellow Chanderi Dupatta with Zardozi Work for a salwar set or the Yellow Pure Cotton Chanderi Saree for a graceful drape.
Style Tip: Complement the sunshine tones with pearl earrings and a delicate maang tikka. Carry an ivory clutch to balance the brightness with sophistication.
Day 3 – Shades of Green Grace | Chandraghanta Mata
Growth, harmony, and fertility
Green represents abundance and harmony. Shine bright and fetch compliments for your choice when you opt for the Green Organza Silk Saree with Zardozi Work or the Green Pure Silk Saree with Satin Finishing for festive elegance.
Style Tip: Kundan earrings and a statement kada add richness. Complete the look with a contrasting red potli for that festive spark.
Day 4 – Grey Elegance | Kushmanda Mata
Strength and balance
Grey is a unique festive shade symbolising inner strength. Weaverstory's Olive Grey Chiniya Silk Kaftan offers a chic, contemporary alternative to traditional wear.
Style Tip: Pair with oxidised silver jhumkas and a sequinned clutch. For evening festivities, add a light embroidered stole for layering.
Day 5 – Fiery Orange Aura | Skandamata Mata
Warmth, courage, and enthusiasm
Celebrate the day in fiery tones with the Rust Orange Hand-Embroidered Organza Dupatta or the Rust Orange Pure Tussar Silk Dupatta.
Style Tip: Choose temple jewellery or gold chandbalis to enhance the warmth of orange. Finish with a zari potli with tassel details for a festive glow.
Day 6 – White Serenity | Katyayani Mata
Peace, purity, and calm
White reflects serenity and devotion. Choose from the Handloom White Chanderi Dupatta with Zardozi Work or the Off-White Chanderi Skirt Set with Mirror Work Dupatta. Look beautiful inside-out.
Style Tip: Add meenakari earrings with hints of colour and carry a pearl-embroidered clutch. For colder regions, a light pashmina draped gracefully completes the divine look.
Day 7 – Red Majesty | Kaalratri Mata
Passion, power, and fierceness
Red embodies strength and devotion. Drape yourself in the Maroon Katan Silk Banarasi Saree or style a kurta set with the Red Organza Dupatta with Zardozi Motifs.
Style Tip: Opt for bold polki chandbalis and a statement kada. Carry a gold or red brocade potli for a grand festive finish.
Day 8 – Sky Blue Calm | Mahagauri Mata
Positivity and tranquility
Sky blue symbolizes calm and positivity. This day is perfect for adorning yourself with jewellery like the Sky Blue Meenakari Pendant Set or the Blue Meenakari Silver Earrings.
Style Tip: Keep the look minimal with soft makeup and a pastel silk clutch. For evening garba nights, add a silver-embroidered dupatta for a hint of sparkle.
Day 9 – Pink Harmony | Siddhidatri Mata
Love, compassion, and grace
Pink radiates warmth and love. The Pink Pure Silk Saree with Satin Finishing or the Pink Organza Dupatta with Zardozi Booti are some of the perfect picks for the day.
Style Tip: Adorn yourself with jadau earrings and a classic choker. Carry a pastel potli with pearl detailing to tie the look together.
Day 10 – Vijayadashami (Dussehra) | The Triumph of Good
Victory of good over evil
The festival concludes with Dussehra, celebrated in bright and auspicious colours like gold, red, or white. Choose a classic Banarasi saree, a zari-bordered dupatta, or a Chanderi kurta set from WeaverStory’s collection.
Style Tip: Pair with heritage polki or temple jewellery, and finish with an embroidered potli for a festive flourish.
With every passing day of Navratri, the colours, rituals, and celebrations bring us closer to the divine. Let your wardrobe mirror that journey- a symphony of hues, jewels, and handcrafted weaves that celebrate both tradition and timeless style.
