Looking to amp up your Deepavali style? You're in luck! Singapore has some fantastic Indian clothing stores where you and your little ones can snag fabulous Deepavali outfits.
Get ready, everyone! The festival of lights is right around the corner – Deepavali aka Diwali will fall on 20 October 2025! Little India is already sparkling with dazzling Deepavali decorations; it’s a visual treat you won’t want to miss. But hey, before you start stressing over what to wear for the big celebration, we’ve done the hard work for you. After a whirlwind shopping spree, we’ve assembled a fab guide to help you nail the perfect family look. From fab ‘fits to statement jewellery, shoes that slay, and all the festive flair you could dream of, we’ve got it covered!
Types of traditional Indian outfits and clothes to buy for Deepavali
Deepavali clothes are all about the whole package – vibrant fabrics, great fit, fancy patterns, cool accessories, and traditional footwear. If you’re new to this, no worries! Check out our Deepavali outfit guide below to ace your shopping game the next time you hit the stores for an Indian outfit for the kids (or yourself!).
Traditional Indian outfits for girls: Lehenga, Salwar Kameez and more
Lehenga cholis or Ghagra choli
The lehenga choli is a very elegant ensemble and a definite head-turner in our view! Imagine your little one in this oh-so-princessy outfit — adorable! The outfit includes a long floor-length flared skirt called lehenga or ghagra, a short fitted blouse called choli, and a long scarf called dupatta that completes it.
Salwar Kameez
The salwar kameez looks chic and is elegant yet practical for kids. The outfit comes with full-length trousers called salwars, which are loose at the top and taper at the ankles, and a knee-length tunic called a kameez or kurta.
If you want similar ensembles like the salwar kameez but in different styles, we suggest kitting up with a dainty Anarkali salwar suit or a Sharara. Not sure of the difference? An Anarkali Salwar suit is a long A-line flared Indian dress worn with fitted pants or leggings called churidar, whereas the Sharara is a short tunic or kurta, and long flared pants like palazzos.
Accessories for girls on Deepavali
Completing the look is key, and it’s all about the details. Each traditional Indian outfit usually features a long scarf called a dupatta, and colourful bangles on both arms for that pop of colour. Little ones can flaunt cute earrings called jhumkas, while a Maang Tikka (jewellery for the forehead) adds that extra sparkle. For a simpler touch, a bindi or pottu (tiny stick-ons) right between the eyebrows will work like magic. It’s all in the little things!
Traditional Indian outfits for boys: Khurta & dhoti
Kurta Pyjama
The simple but stylish kurta pyjama transforms little boys into dapper princes for Deepavali! The ensemble includes a long knee-length tunic called a kurta, and a pant or pyjama. A formal vest/waistcoat gives that finishing touch. For a modern look to this Indian outfit, your kiddo can even sport a traditional kurta with a pair of jeans.
If you are looking for a similar ensemble as the Kurta pyjama but in a different style, we suggest trying out a Dhoti kurta. This is a loose trouser that tapers to the calf paired with a kurta top.
Traditional Indian footwear for Deepavali
The above outfits look complete with ethnic shoes like sandals or mojdis. But if your tiny tot feels more comfortable in everyday sneakers or sandals, we say their Diwali outfit will look just as fab anyway!
Top tips when shopping for traditional Indian outfits this Deepavali
Singapore’s weather can really crank up the heat, and decking your little ones out in thick, blinged out clothes can be a recipe for discomfort. Our advice? Keep it simple. Opt for designs that are easy-breezy and stick to cotton fabrics with just a hint of beadwork. Also, pay attention to the length, especially for skirts – aim for ankle-length to avoid any unwanted trips and tumbles. Who wants accidents on the big festival day, right? And if the scarf (dupatta) seems like a bit too much for your little champs to handle, feel free to skip it. Trust us, these outfits still look adorable without them!
