The Great Dhanteras Debate: One Statement Saree or Five Everyday Suits?

Introduction

It is the question that pops up every time you see that festive cart: invest in one showpiece saree or do it for several easy outfits? For most, the suits will work for the week, and the saree works for the one special occasion that holds more importance than others. Dhanteras falls on 6th November; Diwali will follow on 8th November; Bhai Dooj comes next, so the question is – how many events are you dressing up for? At Gulbhahar we compare the saree with four other everyday outfits so that you can answer the question yourself with a few genuine questions.

How Many Events Are You Actually Dressing For?

Count them before you buy anything. The typical festive season will involve Dhanteras puja, Choti Diwali at home, Lakshmi Puja during Diwali, Govardhan Puja in the morning and a Bhai Dooj lunch. It is four or five events in about five days. One outfit will not be enough to manage all these events without repetition in photographs, and wearing the heavy saree for five events is uncomfortable as well. If you have such a busy schedule, multiple outfits will help you more.

What Does One Statement Saree Do Well?

You get one unique look for the night that counts. In the case of suits, the Heavy Multicolour Chinon Saree is the standout piece. The term heavy indicates the detailing, while the word multicolour gives it a festive look. On the other hand, Chinon is a soft fabric, so it will have a graceful drape. It is suited for Diwali night, a family get-together, or a Dhanteras evening when you need to dress up. However, you must know that you will have to put in some effort, as a saree requires time to be draped and pinned.

What Can Everyday Suits Accomplish Better?

They provide you with versatility and convenience. They do not require any effort to stay in place, do not require any pleating and are suitable for sitting, standing, and serving, which is what most festive occasions entail. The Beige Embroidered Cotton Suit is the quiet foundation of a suit wardrobe. Beige is a warm neutral shade that works well with gold accessories, cotton keeps you cool throughout the day, and light embroidery gives it a festive touch.

Which Suit Fits the Gold Theme of Dhanteras?

Since Dhanteras is associated with gold and prosperity, warm and rich golden tones work well. Champagne Gold Festive Suit is the ideal outfit to match the theme. Champagne gold is a beautiful and subtle shade that gives a festive look, yet is not too flashy. It works best for evening puja and family photoshoots after that. Moreover, it has great versatility throughout the week because simply changing the dupatta and jewellery will give you a different look each time.

What If You Want an Easy Option?

Golden Yellow Kaftan Set for Women is the comfort choice. The golden yellow colour reflects the glow of lamps, and the kaftan set has a comfy and flowing design that works perfectly during the hectic day full of cleaning, decorations, and hosting guests. It can be worn during Choti Diwali or family visits in a relaxed way, when you do not want to put much effort but still need some colour.

Can a Kurta Join the Suit Wardrobe?

Yes, it provides flexibility too. For instance, the Gold Floral Print Kurta allows you to combine it into several outfits. Gold floral print will give you festive colour, while the kurta allows you to pick your own bottom and dupatta to create another outfit. You should check the product page for additional details about the product because a kurta does not necessarily come with a bottom and dupatta. You can wear a neutral bottom during the day and a contrasting dupatta during the evening.

So, Which Side Wins the Debate?

It all depends on your calendar. In case you have lots of small events, go for suits because you will have multiple combinations and less effort. In case you have one big evening event, choose a saree and have fun. But most often you will be somewhere in between, and you should choose a hybrid solution: one unique saree for the evening and two or three suits for other occasions.

How Do You Make the Most of Whatever You Choose?

Plan your repeats. Swap around the dupatta, jewellery, and shoes that you plan to wear for each suit, and you will end up looking like you have never been seen wearing the same thing twice. In case of the saree, try practising how to drape and pin on the day before and bring a small box with you that has all the necessary pins and combs. Try out all your costumes once before the festivities begin to get an idea of how they feel.

Conclusion

Dhanteras is definitely not a war that needs a victorious winner who wins noisily. Count the number of events that you have planned, weigh comfort and then figure out if you prefer one big time or multiple comfy moments. For most of us, a combination of both works wonders!
