8 Trendy Karwa Chauth Outfit Ideas [2019]

Karwa Chauth is an auspicious festival that celebrates the strong bond of love shared between married couples! It holds an important significance in Hindu and Sikh cultures. On the day of Karwa Chauth, married women keep a fast without even a sip of water, to pray for their husband’s long life and wellbeing. They break their fast at dusk, after worshipping the moon and goddess parvati. Much before the evening sets, they dress up in ethnic clothes and wear all the “solah” shringars – the 16 adornments that are a sacred symbol of married Hindu women.

Festivals are all about flaunting the diverse (and unique!) textile arts of India! Gota patti is one of the many textile arts that are loved by women all over India. The zari ribbons (or “gota” as they call it) used in this kind of embellishment doesn’t come off as too blingy, that’s why it is so well-loved by modern Indian women with minimalistic taste. 

Anchi Jaipur is a new-found brand that has a whole collection of traditional gota patti and chikankari ensembles. Their pure georgette sarees with heavy gota patti work are available in total 8 colours that you can choose from! They are all in different colour combinations. My pick would definitely be this combination of off-white and maroon! 

6. Hot Red Saree With Chic Blouse

Solid sarees have been a hot trend for a while now! 

A solid saree in a vibrant red colour can complement the occasion of Karwa Chauth really beautifully! This red beauty you just saw above is from a Delhi based brand called MEHAR by Monika and Aditi.

Aditii Khanna – the designer herself, has paired her creation with a gorgeous full sleeves lace blouse. If you have a solid saree already, you can take some inspo from her look and pair it up with a nice full sleeved crop top or blouse which would work as a statement piece to your whole look. 

7. Taffeta Silk Lehenga

Lehengas can look stylish without any embroidery or blingy work! The taffeta silk fabric of this lehenga is what’s making it look so chic. Its choli has pretty tassels on the bottom and its lace dupatta is totally exuding elegance. 

This lehenga is available in a ton of colours on the internet so you can pick the one that you like the best! I personally loved this maroon one, but I am planning to buy it in emerald green colour for the upcoming festival of Diwali! 

8. Peachy Mirrorwork Sharara Set

A twinkling sharara set in pastel peach colour will make your Karwa Chauth even grand! 6Y Collective is the brand behind this beautiful creation. I absolutely fell in love with this brand’s ethnic collection – it was quite hard for me to choose just one outfit from the brand to include in my top picks of Karwa Chauth outfit ideas! This sharara set caught my eye at first sight. The brand also has a lovely lehenga with off shoulder blouse in the same exact colour and work.
