Navratri Garba Styling Tips
- Hair: A high bun or braid keeps hair off your face during garba. Add flowers or a maang tikka for a festive touch.
- Jewellery: Oxidised silver or gold jhumkas, bangles stacked in the day’s colour, and a statement neckpiece work beautifully with Chikankari.
- Footwear: Comfortable block heels or embroidered juttis — avoid stilettos for garba. You’ll be dancing for hours!
- Dupatta: Tuck your dupatta in or drape it as a belt so it doesn’t interfere with dancing.
