Indian Outfits for Christmas and End-of-Year Parties in Melbourne

By Abhishek Arora · Style World, Aintree · Updated 31 Oct 2026 · 2 min read

Work Christmas parties, end-of-year dinners and Christmas Day with family are a great excuse to wear Indian outfits with a modern twist. Here’s what works in Melbourne in December – when evenings are warm but can turn cool fast.

For women: Indo-western is the sweet spot

An Indo-western sharara set with jacket looks festive but not over the top for an office party. It’s easy to sit, eat and dance in. Try our georgette sets in black, sunshine yellow or pink.

Want a saree without the draping? A ready-to-wear saree goes on in two minutes. The powder blue saree with stitched jacket has its own jacket for when the evening cools down.

• Office party: a kurti with straight pants and statement earrings, or an Indo-western set.
• Christmas dinner or party: a ready-to-wear saree or a sharara set in red, green, gold or black.
• Christmas Day with family: a light cotton or chinon suit – comfortable through a long lunch.

For men: a kurta with a twist

A silk kurta pajama in a festive colour is smart without a suit and tie. Our sky blue, yellow and black sets start from $80. For a more relaxed look, wear the kurta with jeans or chinos instead of the pajama.

For kids

Red, green and gold are easy wins for Christmas photos. Girls’ sharara sets and boys’ kurta pajama sets in soft cotton keep little ones comfortable at long family gatherings. See girls’ and boys’ outfits.

Melbourne weather tips

• December days can reach the 30s, then drop at night – pack a shawl, jacket or dupatta.
• Choose georgette, chinon, crepe or cotton over heavy silk and velvet.
• Pick block heels or flats for outdoor parties on grass.
