Navratri 2025 is not just a festival—it’s a fashion parade full of vibrant outfits, twirling lehengas, and gorgeous jewellery. But while experimenting with colours and layers is fun, it’s easy to go overboard—especially with accessories. Wearing the wrong jewellery can ruin your festive vibe, distract from your outfit, or worse—make you uncomfortable during those long Garba and Dandiya nights.
At Utsaav By Gargi, we’re here to help you avoid common jewellery styling mistakes this Navratri and suggest exactly what to wear instead.
Mistake 1: Wearing Too Much Bling at Once
Why it's a problem:
Layering shiny, heavy jewellery pieces can clash with your already detailed Navratri outfits, making your look feel too "loud" and overwhelming.
Wear this instead:
Go for a statement oxidised jewellery set—a bold choker or a long necklace is enough to turn heads without overdoing it.
Try it on the 1st or 3rd day of Navratri when mirror work and bright fabrics already dominate your outfit.
Mistake 2: Mixing Metals Without Intent
Why it's a problem:
Wearing silver, gold, and rose gold pieces together can make your look feel uncoordinated.
Wear this instead:
Choose one tone. For Navratri, oxidised silver jewellery works best—it’s trendy, versatile, and pairs beautifully with traditional Indian wear.
Opt for oxidised bangles and jhumkas for the 2nd or 5th day of Navratri when simplicity meets style.
Mistake 3: Over-accessorising with Heavy Earrings + Heavy Necklaces
Why it's a problem:
Both large earrings and chunky necklaces draw attention to the same area—your face and neck—making your look feel crowded and heavy.
Wear this instead:
Choose either a statement oxidised choker or a pair of dramatic oxidised jhumkas, not both.
Perfect for Dandiya nights on the 6th or 7th day of Navratri when you want to dance freely and still look stunning.
Mistake 4: Wearing Non-Festive or Casual Jewellery
Why it's a problem:
Minimal western pieces like dainty gold chains or stud earrings may underplay your vibrant Navratri outfit.
Wear this instead:
Elevate your look with traditional oxidised pieces featuring motifs like peacocks, florals, or mirror embellishments.
Great choice for the 4th or 8th day of Navratri, when devotion meets beauty.
Mistake 5: Ignoring Hair Accessories Like Rings & Bugdi
Why it's a problem:
Focusing only on earrings and necklaces can make your look feel incomplete.
Wear this instead:
Add a subtle oxidised ring and bugdi to complete your Garba-ready ensemble.
Try this on the 5th or 7th day of Navratri to channel your inner goddess.
