Kaftan’s are my first love since the time they are back in fashion, as nothing is more comfy than a trendy kaftan. What can give a better indo-western look than a white kaftan with Kachchhi patch on it and tassels on the edges. Looks trendy as well as beautiful and perfectly goes with the brightness of this festival of “nine” nights.
Indo-Western Jumpsuits to avoid hassle of pining and draping
The best thing about jumpsuits is surely how easy they are to “jump into”. No trouble of mix-matching a top and bottom, definitely no safety pins or brooches. I feel this jumpsuit is a good investment, as it can come handy for other social and cultural celebrations or occasions.
2. Kedia and Tulip Pant Set
If you want to play garba comfortably and still want traditional look this kedia and pant set is the best option.
In gujarat, Kedia is being worn since the ancient time by males and nothing can be considered more traditional than this.

5. A decorated Sharara to steal the spotlight
Sharara makes a quirky Indo-western Navratri dress, a popular alternative to the authentic chanya-choli, does not it? For those who feel more comfortable in pants than a skirt, it is a better choice as some people don’t like the hassle of wearing tights below the skirt or how easy it is to trip in one.
