Introduction
Each year at Diwali comes the lehenga question: Should you wear the lehenga again? Should you take up the challenge of trying something new? And the truth is that there are several Indian ethnic styles which are equally spectacular, take equally good photos, and are way easier to wear while spending an entire night filled with light, food, and family fun. Gulbhahar presents a collection of all the alternatives available.
Why Are Women Looking for Lehenga Alternatives for Diwali?
Lehengas are gorgeous but come with a set of challenges. First, they are heavy. Second, they require petticoats underneath. Third, the blouse needs to be sewn specifically for you. The entire evening will be spent keeping an eye on the volume of the skirt. In case of a festival like Diwali, when you have to move from one room to another, sit on the floor, go out for fireworks, and pose for pictures the whole night, a more convenient choice may seem smarter.

Is a Kaftan Set an Ideal Diwali Wear?
Definitely. The idea of wearing a kaftan made in luxurious material with beading or embroidery looks very festive without making one go through the trouble of donning a lehenga. Beige Kaftan Set is a fantastic choice for Diwali. The crepe satin kaftan opens up into flowy cape sleeves. The beadwork starts at the neck and continues to the shoulders. Straight-fit pants are worn in the same shade to create a two-piece set. This is elegant dressing done with understated luxury. The beige colour is photographed wonderfully by Diwali diyas and string lights.
Can a Three-Piece Indo-Western Set be a Substitute for a Lehenga?
Yes. There is no reason why this cannot happen, and here is a set that proves it. Black Indo Western Women's Set has an embroidery-rich crop top with beadwork, zari, paisley embroidery and hanging tassel details. The beauty of an Indo-Western set is that every piece adds something different while still working as one outfit. The detailed crop top brings attention to the upper half, while the flowing jacket adds movement with every step. The draped palazzo pants keep the outfit comfortable and easy to carry, making the set suitable for festive gatherings, celebrations, and evening occasions.The long open-front jacket makes the look more dramatic. Draped palazzo pants are made in silk georgette, which drapes like a lehenga skirt but without the effort.
What Should Be a Good Diwali Dress that is Royal but Not Heavy?
The right answer will be a silk blend kaftan sharara set in a jewel tone. This is what Purple Designer Kaftan Suit is all about. The silk blend kaftan kurta comes with an elegant V-neckline that is embellished with ornate embroidery, Mughal design elements, zari work, and a detailed border. The flaring sharara underneath adds elegance without weighing down like a lehenga. This suit comes in royal purple and magenta. Both colours carry the depth that a Diwali dress should have. One customer wore it for eight hours and said it was very comfortable the whole time.
Is Farshi a good replacement for Lehenga during Diwali?
Yes. The farshi cut ensures that you get the flow and elegance of a lehenga but don't have to worry about a skirt, petticoat and blouse separately. The Ivory Farshi Co-Ord Set does justice to all these requirements. It has a cream georgette kurta with multicolour embroidery done in gold and sequins, and beadwork on the front portion of the kurta. The paisley design is seen at the back, and the tassel edging of the sleeve hem complements it perfectly. The black satin silk farshi flows with each step elegantly.
What is a good Diwali Outfit which is festive as well as easy to wear all day?
A sharara suit in a soft and festive colour with mirror work and embroidery is the most comfortable festive option to choose for the entire day of Diwali. This is achieved by wearing a Pastel Grey Floral Sharara Suit. This includes a straight kurta with a split round neckline in mirror work, along with a wide-flare floral sharara which flows freely all day. A lightweight dupatta complements the ensemble with ease. A potli bag is included with this suit. It is available in the colours of pastel grey and pastel pink. It is a festive yet easy-to-wear outfit and needs no managing in the evening.
Enhance Your Diwali Outfit with The Appropriate Footwear
The right jutti is what completes the entire Diwali outfit look. A handcrafted jutti in gold, ivory or any other festive colour goes well with any outfit from this list. Pair the outfit you are wearing with the Gulbhahar Festive Jutti Collection to get the right pair for your Diwali outfit.
