Karwa Chauth celebrates the love and affection between a husband and a wife by fasting. It is one of the most beautiful festivals celebrated in India and if you are confused about what to wear this year, check out these 15 style recommendations to dress up your look.
1. An Evergreen Chikankari Outfit
Chikankari is one of the most beautiful hand embroideries native to India. It is a classic look for all the girls who want to dress up and yet not wear something too heavy. A classic Chikankari outfit adorned with some ornate jewellery will ensure that you shine as bright as the moon.
2. Anarkali Suits
While the past many years have seen a rise in suits matched with Palazzos, Anarkalis are your safest option if you want to look beautiful without any extra effort. Wear a full length Anarkali and pair it up with an intricate dupatta and you shall be good to go.
3. Sharara Suit
In olden times, Karwa Chauth was only celebrated in the region of Punjab. Hence, many Punjabi women still carry on the tradition of wearing suits and not a sari on Karwa Chauth. If you like this idea, you can opt for a simple sharara suit in a vibrant colour or even go for a heavier one depending on your personal style.
4. Timeless Saris
If you are a sari girl and saris are your go-to look, pull out your favourite Silk Sari or better, choose one in Organza to keep up with the latest trends.

7. Side-Bun to the Rescue
