Karwa Chauth outfits to make women look gorgeous!

In India, beautiful attire is associated with any festival that we celebrate. Karwa Chauth is a festival celebrated by married Indian women, mainly in the Northern state of the country, seeking blessings for the long life of their husbands. The main ritual of that day is fasting throughout the day and gathering in a group, dressed up in all their finery to pray for their husband’s well being. Wearing gorgeous clothes is an important part of this celebration. Comfort and looking good go hand in hand on any festive occasion and Karwa Chauth is no different.  

The Outfit of choice for women on this day is;

The Saree

Red is a colour synonymous with Karwa Chauth. A red and gold combination is always a hit. You can wear a red plain print, bordered with red and gold, adding shine to the plain red. Team it up with an attractive blouse. To really impress, wear your red matched with a color that stresses on the red. Contrast it with a blue or green maybe as a border or on the pallu and wear a blouse in the contrast color. All eyes are sure to be on you. There is no binding that your Karwa Chauth saree should have to be in red. You can choose any color that does not break the norm, but makes you look different from everybody else. You also have a choice of the material. You can try out a georgette saree because of its flattering fall, or you can pick a red Banarasi silk saree if you are keen on something heavy.
