The entire last week was spent cleaning up everything before Diwali. I got so busy with the cleaning spree that one of my most favorite part of Diwali Celebrations, ‘what to wear this Diwali’ just skipped from my mind.

While growing up, I always enjoyed the sight of women dressed in traditional clothes gathering at the temple with their ‘diyas’ and ‘puja ki thalis’ and thereby lighting up the whole atmosphere with their aura. Though, I am mostly a jeans and a tee person, I love traditional Indian clothes. They’re beautiful and look classy.

Diwali gives us a chance to dress in traditional silhouettes and make heads turn wherever we step into. I have a simple long kesari kurti in chiffon fabric with karshmiri embroidery, which I plan to wear for this Diwali with matching leggings. If you are still wondering what to wear for this Diwali, here are six super stylish Diwali outfit ideas that can make you look fashionable and yet beautiful for the festival:

1. Straight Suit:

Girls forget the elaborate anarkali, straight suits are in this season. Wear straight suits with palazzos, pants or leggings for an ultimately sleek and elegant look.

2. Anarkali with a Twist:

Just like western wear, layering rocks in ethnic wear too. Bring out your anarkali and layer it up with a fitted brocade or lace jacket to breathe new life into your old outfit.

3. Glamorous Gown:

After floor length anarkalis, Indian ethnic wear has evolved to include the gorgeous gown. A well-tailored gown with right accessories and embellishments can give you that perfect traditional yet modern look.

4. Crop Top with High Waist Skirt:

Not in a mood to wear lehenga? But still want to look glam and sassy? This embroidered crop top with high waist ethnic skirt is the best pick for you.

5. Dhoti Dress

If your idea of looking great is to look different, try this unique dhoti dress in bright color for a super stylish look.

6. Asymmetrical Kurti

If you are a no fuss girl like me, a simple kurti with leggings or churidar would be the best option to look graceful and traditional for the occasion. You can experiment with, cut, design or embroidery of the kurti for an added style.

So girls, this is my list for six best Diwali outfit ideas for this season. Hope you will also find these ideas stylish and useful to make your pick. You can also read about different hair style ideas for Diwali, here. Have a safe and happy Diwali. Tada!
