The festival of Navratri (Shardiya Navratri 2025) is celebrated with great devotion and enthusiasm across the country. For nine days, nine different forms of Goddess Durga are worshipped. This sacred festival begins with the worship of Goddess Shailputri. It is believed that Goddess Shailputri is the daughter of the Himalayas.

Worshiping Goddess Shailputri on the first day of Navratri bestows peace, patience, and strength. According to religious beliefs, wearing the color red (Navratri Day 1 Color) on this day is considered auspicious, as it symbolizes energy and power. So, if you want to start Navratri in a traditional style, a red saree or suit could be the perfect option.

Styling red outfits during the festival season isn't everyone's cup of tea. But following a few simple tips can create not only a beautiful but also an attractive look. Let's learn 5 easy tips for styling a red saree and suit.

Choose the right fabric
Red is a very attractive and bold color in itself. Therefore, choose your fabric wisely. Silk, cotton-silk, georgette, or chiffon sarees and suits look best during festivals like Navratri. Lightweight fabrics will provide comfort and make it easier to participate in pujas or garba all day long.

Golden or Silver Embroidery Combination
Golden or silver embroidery on a red outfit can enhance your look. If you're wearing a saree, choose a red saree with a golden border. Silver gota-patti work is a great option for a suit. This combination will help create a traditional and elegant look on the auspicious occasion of Navratri.

Choose the Right Jewelry
Jewelry can completely transform a red outfit. You can achieve a royal feel by wearing golden earrings, maangtika, and bracelets. If you prefer a simple look, you can also wear oxidized jewelry. Silver-toned jewelry looks especially beautiful with a red suit.

Experiment with dupattas.
If you're wearing a suit, you can change up your dupatta styling to enhance your overall look. Wear a golden or contrasting dupatta with a red suit. When wearing a saree, you can drape the pallu in different styles. For example, with an open pallu, a straight pallu, or a belt-style pallu, you can add a modern touch to the traditional look.

Keep your makeup and hairstyle balanced.
Red is a very bright color, so keep your makeup subtle and natural. Basic foundation, light eye makeup, and a nude shade of lipstick are sufficient. For hairstyles, opt for a bun or soft curls, which will enhance your traditional look.
