This year’s Diwali fashion trends for kids includes a great collection of fashionable and glittery outfits for girls and boys alike.

Check out these 10 Diwali fashion trends that currently dominate the kids clothing collection in the country:

For the pretty dolls

Girls may have a closet full of clothes and yet fuss about not having enough. Here are some of the newest additions to Diwali Fashion 2020 for girls. Pick some of these up for the upcoming festival for your little one.

1. Shararas for Diwali nights

Shararas and Ghararas are the talk of the town this year. Your child can wear them as comfortable pants but they will look as pretty as a ghagra or a long flare-y skirt. You can pair up the sharara pants with a short blouse or a kurta.

You can never go wrong with gowns for little girls. The ethnic version of the elegant western gowns is great for festivals and traditional get-togethers. You can dress up your little girl by making her wear a transparent cape-with-embroidery over the gown.
