A Garba night is a night spent dancing non-stop in pretty colours, twirling endlessly and enjoying the music that makes you dance. For this Navratri, perhaps a Khaddi Georgette Banarasi saree can be your solution to make yourself look festive and lightweight at the same time.

What Makes Khaddi Georgette a Garba Favourite?

Easy To Move Around in During Garba Nights

As Garba requires a lot of footwork and also the full-circle twirl with your friends, it becomes essential to be able to move around easily. The Khaddi Georgette Banarasi sarees can prove to be light enough to enable you to do so. They may feel better to carry around during the entire night of festivities compared to silk sarees, which tend to be heavy. 

All that one needs is the correct fabric along with a good drape. As long as the pleats and the pallu are pinned down well enough, you can dance without having to worry about your clothes all night.

Details That Are Not Just For Appearance

Just because the Khaddi Georgette Banarasi sarees are light does not mean that they cannot be detailed enough. These sarees are known to include zari work, jaal designs, cutwork, and even Minakari work, which give the sarees a traditional yet very festive look.

Whether you like an elaborate or an elegant design, the right weave will take care of everything else.

Let the Colour Speak for You

Garba nights provide the ideal opportunity for playing around with colours. Rani pink is one such option that stands out to draw everyone’s attention, while royal blue gives you a dramatic flair. Teal green provides a fresh look, whereas red provides the classic festive look.

Khaddi Georgette Banarasi sarees by Aura Benaras have all the intricate weaves and colours that would go well with your Navratri celebration. Pick any colour of your choice, accessorise yourself with statement earrings, and let the saree speak for you.

Nine Days & Nine Looks in Sarees from Aura Benaras

As you have nine days in Navratri, you can experiment with nine looks in your festive wardrobe. Rather than sticking to the same look throughout the festival, give yourself an opportunity to change your saree colour, weave or style every day.

Day 1: The Bold Starter — Orange

Start Navratri with a vibrant and energetic colour, which will help you celebrate the occasion in its true spirit. An orange saree is a fun and lively colour, especially for a festive occasion.

Aura Benaras’ Tilfi Patola Pure Banarasi Khaddi Georgette saree in orange colour comes with zari weaving, jaal weaving and Minakari designs. It blends together festive colours and traditional artistry, along with a comfortable georgette material, which makes it perfect for celebrations.

Style suggestions: Wear it with a simple blouse, gold jhumkas, and bangles. A sleek bun or half-up hairstyle should complement your festive look.

Day 2: The Understated One — Off-White

Not every festive attire has to be bright and flashy. The off-white saree is a more toned-down alternative when dressing up for Navratri, but with all the elements of an exquisite saree present.

The Off-White Rangkat Banarasi Khaddi Georgette saree by Aura Benaras has beautiful golden zari jaal embroidery, adding a perfect level of intricacy. Its toned-down colour makes this saree an ideal option for those who like to dress up in a more toned-down fashion but still want to carry the essence of traditional Banarasi craft.

Personalise the attire: Give your attire some life with a contrasting blouse, either in red, emerald green or even in pink. Accessories in gold with bold lips make it complete.

Day 3: The Main Character — Red

There is no colour that ever looks out of place when it comes to an Indian celebration like red. Timeless and traditional, it adds a touch of heritage to your Navratri fashion line-up.

With its meenakari jaal design along with the zari work, the Red Banarasi Georgette Saree by Aura Benaras is a must-have in every festival attire collection.

Get creative with it: Go for a simple blouse if you don’t want the weave to overshadow anything else, or get a contrasting golden blouse to complement the saree well. Pair it up with stunning earrings and stacked bangles.

Day 4: The After-Dark Favourite — Royal Blue

As the celebrations drag on through the evening hours, royal blue gives a luxurious flair to your attire. This colour gives you a fresh option apart from the traditional festive colours of red and pink.

The Royal Blue Khaddi Georgette saree by Aura Benaras comes with handwoven fabric and a water-gold zari jaal weave design. The intricate weaving makes your saree look more vibrant and gives you an excellent platform to wear ethnic jewellery.

Feel free to style it in your own way; wear a golden or blue blouse and some eye-catching earrings. If you are going to be dancing for long, make sure that you wear comfortable shoes and fix your pallu before stepping out.

Day 5: The Sunshine Pick — Yellow

A bright, happy colour that brims with cheeriness, yellow is perfect to dress up for the festivals. For an understated look, you may choose a light yellow; and if you want to add vibrancy to your attire, go for a dark yellow.

Pastel Yellow Khaddi Georgette Saree of Aura Benaras has jaal work in bronzed zari. The fine detailing of this saree provides an ideal combination of colours and embroidery for those who like the softness of traditional festival attire.

How to style it: You can give it an upbeat look by pairing it with a pink or green blouse. Wear jewellery in golden tones and keep your makeup light.

Day 6: The Rich Traditionalist — Bottle Green

The richness of bottle green makes it an ideal match for the fine workmanship of Banarasi fabrics. It is a wonderful option for all those who like deep tones of colour but don’t want to compromise on the festivity of their attire.

Bottle Green Khaddi Georgette saree of Aura Benaras comes in an elegant design of silver zari and shikargah jaal. The designer pallu and border give a well-defined look to the saree, thereby making it easy for the wearer to flaunt the artistry without having to use an overly flashy colour.

Wear it the way you wish: Coordinate it with silver jewellery for a matched look or opt for gold accessories for a warm contrast. Add a designer blouse for some extra edge.

Day 7: The Rule Breaker — Grey

Why should festive attire have to be about the vibrant hues? Grey gives a contemporary twist to classic saree designs. If you like to keep things simple but don’t want your outfit to be bland, then grey can serve as a great choice for you.

The Aura Benaras Grey Banarasi Khaddi Georgette saree has an aada embroidered in golden zari paired with a plain blouse. The combination of the simplicity of the colour along with exquisite detailing gives the design a modern look without taking away from its traditions.

Here is how you can style it: With silver earrings, a sleek hairdo, and a metallic clutch. But you can even go for a contrasting coloured blouse such as black, magenta, or purple.

Day 8: The Royal Entrance — Purple

This colour adds dramatic flair to festive styling. Ranging from soft hues to dark shades, it can make for a chic yet unexpected appearance.

The Purple Khaddi Georgette Banarasi saree by Aura Benaras boasts beautiful floral motifs embellished with golden zari, which is further highlighted by the intricate Minakari embroidery. This helps the saree acquire an elaborate touch without overpowering the hue.

Dress it up as per preference: Style the saree with gold accessories and a matching blouse. To give it a modern touch, style it with a designer blouse and a chic hairstyle.

Day 9: The Grand Finale — Peacock Green

End the nine days of Navratri celebrations with a colour that catches attention but is not too ostentatious. A peacock green saree makes for a unique option among festive colours due to its richness, which makes it easy to match with zari work.

The Rama Green Khaddi Georgette Banarasi saree by Aura Benaras has intricate zari work on the whole saree and its borders. The use of zari work adds an elegant touch to the saree, making it perfect for the last day of Navratri.

Wear the saree in your own style: Pair it up with a different blouse and gold bangles and earrings.

Before the Music Starts, Fix These 4 Things

An attractive saree is just one half of the package. It's the other half that will make sure you can have fun and enjoy the night without having any concerns regarding your draping.

• Secure your pallu: Fix your pallu nicely either on your blouse or shoulders, so that it does not get in your way when you start dancing.

• Pleat right: Fix your pleats so nicely and tightly that your saree neither gets caught in your feet nor drags along when you are moving around or dancing.
• Accessorise well: Kamarbandh can prove useful as it will not only secure the draping of your saree, but it will also add to your overall appearance.

• Select appropriate footwear: Your choice of footwear should give you a firm grip and should be comfortable.

• Just one last thing: test the whole dress before the actual event.

What to Look for in a Garba-Ready Banarasi Saree

While selecting a saree for Garba, the objective is to select a saree that not only looks attractive but also manageable to wear throughout the evening. The following are the factors to consider while selecting a saree.

Material and flow: Soft material like Khaddi Georgette would give a flow to the drape, which could be easily managed in the activity-oriented environment. Consideration should be given to the flow of the drape while walking, turning, or moving hands.

Border and pallu: A distinct border along with an artistic pallu can enhance the appearance. Sarees with unique designs without making the drape heavy should be selected according to personal preference.

Colour and work: Colour options available to enhance the festive wardrobe include magenta, red, yellow, green, and blue. Gold or silver zari work could give a traditional appearance to the Banarasi saree. Flower and jaal designs could be considered.

Jhumkas, bangles, or a choker could be added as a statement accessory. These should be in sync with the saree without interfering during the dance activities.

The final look: Blouse, pleats, and pallu must be securely draped. A properly draped saree makes a lot of difference in terms of comfort and confidence level throughout the evening.

Ultimately, the best Garba outfit is one that lets you enjoy the celebration. You shouldn’t have to choose between looking dressed up and feeling comfortable.
