Diwali Outfit Ideas 2026: 10 Banarasi, Ghungroo, Ready-to-Wear & Farshi Looks
Diwali 2026 falls on Sunday, 8 November, with Dhanteras on 6 November and Bhai Dooj on 11 November. That means five days of puja, family dinners, card parties and photos on the balcony with diyas. Your outfit has to glow in warm light, feel comfortable for hours, and look a little different from what everyone else is wearing.
Here are 10 Diwali looks from our festive collection, from rich gold Banarasi for Lakshmi puja to viral farshi suits and 2-minute ready-to-wear sarees.
1. Golden Banarasi Saree: the Lakshmi puja classic
Gold is the colour of Dhanteras and Diwali, and this tissue Banarasi with zari paisley weave is our most trending Banarasi this season. Tissue catches every diya flame, so it looks beautiful in photos even in low light.
