Ring in the Marathi New Year with style! From vibrant nauvaris to dazzling jewellery, here’s how to ace the traditional Gudi Padwa look in 2025.
Gudi Padwa marks the beginning of the Marathi New Year, and what better way to celebrate than by dressing in gorgeous traditional attire? Whether you're attending a family gathering, a community event, or just soaking in the festive vibes at home, nailing the perfect Maharashtrian look is a must.
In 2025, the trends are all about blending timeless classics with fresh, modern twists. So, let’s dive into the must-try fashion picks that’ll make your Gudi Padwa extra special!
Ah, the iconic nauvari sari—nine yards of pure grace! This traditional drape has been a staple for Maharashtrian women for centuries, and it’s making a strong comeback in 2025.
The younger generation is embracing the nauvari with modern blouses (think off-shoulder or cape-style) and experimental drapes.
Opt for lightweight cotton or silk for comfort, or go bold with Paithani-inspired borders.
Bright yellows, deep greens, and classic reds are in, but pastel shades are also gaining popularity for a softer look.
Pro tip: Pair it with traditional gajra (flower braids) in your hair for that authentic festive touch.
Ladies aren’t the only ones stealing the spotlight—men’s ethnic fashion is getting a stylish upgrade too!
Go for well-fitted kurtas in earthy tones or rich hues like maroon and navy. Block prints and subtle embroidery are big this year.
If you want to go full traditional, a crisp white dhoti with a contrasting kurta is a timeless choice.
A classic pheta (turban) or a sleek topi (cap) adds instant Maharashtrian charm.
Bonus: Linen and cotton blends are trending for breathability, especially since Gudi Padwa falls in spring.
No festive look is complete without the right jewellery, and 2025 is all about balancing tradition and trendiness.
Mohanmal (pearl necklaces) and toda (gold pendant sets) remain evergreen favourites.
Intricate designs inspired by Maharashtrian heritage are making waves.
Layered chains with minimalistic paisley or peacock motifs are perfect for those who prefer subtlety.
For men, a simple gold chain or rudraksha bracelet adds a refined touch.
Walking around in uncomfortable shoes? Not this Gudi Padwa!
Padukas (wooden sandals) or embellished mojris add a traditional yet chic vibe.
Kolhapuri chappals in tan or black are a fail-safe choice—durable and stylish.
If you’re hosting, opt for something cushioned—you’ll thank us later!
Little ones deserve to shine too! This year, traditional bandhani prints and miniature kurta-dhotis for boys and lehenga-cholis for girls are stealing hearts.
Bright pinks, blues, and gold accents keep it playful yet festive.
Tiny payals (anklets) and bindi designs make for cute additions.
Gudi Padwa is all about celebrating culture, family, and new beginnings—so why not do it in style? Whether you go full traditional or add a contemporary spin, the key is to feel confident and joyful in what you wear.
So, pick your favourite outfit, drape that nauvari with pride, or rock that crisp kurta, and welcome 2025 with a fashion-forward touch! Shubh Gudi Padwa!
