Navratri begins on Sunday, 11 October, and the next nine nights are as much about what you wear as how long you can keep dancing. The brief for a good garba outfit is simple: it should move when you move, look beautiful under string lights, and still feel festive after hours in the circle.
We have pulled together five looks from AARI's festive collection, each built for a different kind of Navratri night. Every look links straight to the piece, so you can shop it today.
1. Indo-Western Outfit for Garba
Perfect for: The one who wants a modern outfit that still reads festive. This handloom silk set pairs a jacket-style peplum tunic with dramatic bell sleeves, finished with tassel detailing, cross-stitch resham embroidery, subtle crystal highlights and golden thread work. Wide-leg silk palazzo trousers with in-built pockets, handy on a long night, give you room to move, and a lightweight crepe silk stole dupatta in multicolour vertical stripes completes the look. The cobalt sits close to the royal blue of Day 4.
● Silhouette: Peplum top, wide-leg palazzo and striped stole dupatta
● Fabric: Handloom silk
Shop the look: Cobalt Blue Fusion Jacket Set
2. The Patola Skirt Set for Navratri
Perfect for: Anyone who wants an easy, earthy festive outfit that moves comfortably.
A short kurti in gauze silk meets a skirt in a vibrant all-over patola print, a nod to Gujarat's famous patola weave. Hand embroidery in cross-stitch and fine resham threadwork, plus delicate tassels, adds texture and detail. The silhouette is fluid and comfortable, and the earthy brown sits outside the nine-colour list, so it works on any night of Navratri.
● Silhouette: Short kurti with patola-print skirt
● Fabric: Soft silk
● Availability: Made to order, ships within 20 days
Shop the look: Brown Patola Skirt Set
3. The Sharara Set for Navratri
Perfect for: Anyone who loves a traditional silhouette with plenty of swing.
A gharara flares out below the knee, which gives you volume at the hem and freedom through the legs. This Royal Purple Peplum Sharara Set is a handloom and satin silk ensemble with a fitted peplum top in extensive hand marodi work, resham embroidery and subtle sequins, paired with flared handloom silk palazzo in upper-kali detailing. A rich tissue Banarasi butti dupatta finishes the look, and the royal purple lines up with Day 8. Explore more in our Shararas & Ghararas.
● Silhouette: Fitted peplum top with flared palazzo and Banarasi dupatta

4. The Lehenga for Garba Night
Perfect for: The garba classic, for the nights you want to go all out.
Nothing says Navratri night quite like a lehenga. The Brick Red Ajrakh Lehenga Set pairs a satin silk lehenga in traditional Ajrakh block prints, a craft associated with Kutch in Gujarat, with a richly embellished sweetheart-neckline blouse. The blouse and the lehenga hem carry Golden Aari work, mirror work, sequins and cutdana, and a matching organza dupatta with all-over butti work and embroidered borders on all four sides completes the look. The brick red sits close to the red of Day 3. Explore more in our lehengas collection.
