Styling tips for every colour of the day, this Navratri 2026 (Credit: AI) Have all your Navratri fits finalised but still don't know to style them? This guide will turn getting ready for each day into a no-brainer. Orange works best with gold jewellery, as they both compliment each other's warmth; think kundan, amber cuts or even polki picks. For this day, keep your makeup warm and peachy, leaning more towards terracotta tones on the makeup palette and bronzing. Silk, brocade and chiffon work best with orange in textures. If wearing white, diamonds are indeed your best friend with silver competing for the spot, followed closely by pearls and clear crystals. For this day, use makeup to add a flush of colour to your face - soft pink, champagne-coded and pearly or icy tones will do the trick. Organza, chiffon, georgette work best with white in textures. Day 3 calls for red, and gold will always come before silver here, followed by options like rubies. Matching reds for your makeup will help you go bold - if you're not trying to do that, stick to an air of warm bronze. Velvet, silk and brocade work best with red in textures.

For makeup, keep it feeling fresh and flushed with a few swipes of silver with a cool pink for the cheeks and lips. Velvet, raw silk and satin work best with royal blue in textures. Gold is the no-brainer for a yellow fit, though pearls and citrine play for a strong second and third. As for makeup, think peacy tones with a touch of warm but nearly transparent gold, particularly for the lids and the high points of the cheeks. Chanderi, silk and organza work best with yellow in textures. Emeralds would be our top pick - no tone-on-tone combination looks better than green with some more green. But on that note, kundan will work great too. Keep the makeup muted to have the colour shine through, something along the lines of a peachy base with a bronze flush. Silk, brocade and velvet work best with green in textures.
