Diwali is almost knocking at our doors, preparations are already underway. From decorating their homes with lamps, colorful lamps and vibrant rangolis to heaps of sweets, happiness is evident in every corner. But have you decided on your festive attire yet? If not, you don’t need to worry as here is a list of top 5 fashion trends specially curated for the festival of lights.
1. Indo-Western Lehenga Diwali may be a traditional festival, but your outfit doesn’t have to be exactly vintage. The Indo-Western lehenga is a fashion trend that blends classic silhouettes with contemporary styles, including asymmetric hemlines, crop tops, jackets or flowing capes. You can also experiment with sculptural blouses and structured curtains with origami-themed pleats and exaggerated scarf trails

2. Liquid Gold Saree Sarees never go out of fashion, but this Diwali, you can add a metallic twist to the timeless silhouette by opting for the liquid gold variety. Made from liquid satin or silk, these shiny fabrics resemble molten metal. They create a glow, perfect for a festival that celebrates the power of light. You can step up your sartorial game with a corset blouse or thin-strap bralette, which gives off red carpet vibes.

3. Layers and networks Add sheer layering and lattice elements to your Diwali 2025 lookbook. Just drape a transparent cape over your embroidered lehenga, wear a layered net kurta with billowy sleeves or carry a dupatta with a dusting of crystal designs, and see yourself turning into a showstopper. For the final touch of elegance, resort to minimalist neckpieces and bangles for a hint of sparkle.

4. Printed Kurtas If you want to keep your Diwali wardrobe basic and comfortable then printed kurtas can be your best friend. Chikankari embroidered short kurtas and pastel-shaded Patiala pants, along with some heavy jewellery, are perfect for women. Men can also rock printed creations with kurtas adorned with ajrakh motifs, hand-painted Mughal art, Indo-Japanese designs and abstract florals. Pair them with a bomber jacket and Nehru vest.

5. Fusion Sherwani Gone are the days of gaudy wedding-appropriate sherwanis. Fusion sherwanis are sophisticated and regal, crafted from lightweight fabrics like linen, silk blend or organza, layered with geometric patterns or minimal embroidery. Wear these with cropped trousers, Patiala-style pants or even tailored chinos for a modern spin.
