Diwali is one of the most exciting times of the year for kids: lights, sweets, family visits and of course new clothes. The best kids’ festive outfits look special but are still comfortable enough for a long evening of playing, eating and lighting diyas.
For girls
Sharara sets
A short flared kurti with wide sharara pants is a favourite for girls of all ages. They are easy to move in and look beautiful when twirling. Our gotta patti sets are made from organic cotton, which is soft and breathable for sensitive skin.

A kurta pajama is the classic choice. For younger boys, cotton is the most comfortable and easy to wash. Silk looks smarter for family functions and photos. An angrakha-style kurta (with a side tie) adds a traditional touch.

- Cotton near the diyas. Natural fabrics like cotton are a safer choice around open flames and sparklers than synthetic fabrics. Always keep an eye on dupattas near candles.
- Size up slightly if your child is between sizes. They will be eating, sitting and playing for hours.
- Elastic waists make toilet trips easier for little ones.
- Layer for Melbourne evenings. A cardigan or light jacket in a matching colour keeps them warm without hiding the outfit.
