5 Complete Deepavali Looks Under S$300 from Canvas & Weaves
Deepavali dressing doesn’t have to begin with a long list of things you need to buy. Sometimes you find the outfit first, add one really good piece of jewellery, and you’re done.
So we’ve done some of the looking for you. Sarees, kurta sets, contemporary co-ords and jumpsuits for different kinds of Deepavali plans, all chosen with the S$300 mark in mind.
The idea is to make festive dressing feel a little less complicated. Fewer decisions, less overthinking, and more pieces you’ll genuinely want to wear again.
Consider this our edit of Deepavali outfit ideas under S$300, and a rather easy place to start.
Look 1: The Classic Saree Moment
A saree already brings plenty to the table.
But for Deepavali, try choosing one with beautiful fabric, a little handwork or an interesting border, then just enough jewellery to finish the look without stealing the spotlight.
Rashika Mittal Fida Saree
The Fida Saree is a lovely option for someone who wants colour without a heavily embellished look. The orange chiffon saree has a broad gold lappa lace border and delicate sequin embroidery scattered across the fabric. It is currently S$279, so pair it with jewellery you already own or with a smaller everyday earring, rather than adding another major statement piece.

Rashika Mittal Sajni Saree
The Sajni Saree comes in blush pink with hand-embroidered floral clusters picked out in sequins, cutdana and beads. At S$300, it already has plenty of detail, so you could pair it with a simple gold earring, a small clutch and let the embroidery do the work.

Dyelogue Dots Shaded Saree
For something less traditional in colour, the blue green Dots Shaded Bandhani Saree brings together a beautifully shaded palette with the intricacy of Bandhani on a gajji silk base. At S$284, it has plenty going on already, so a pair of simple gold earrings is all you need to finish the look.

Look 2: The Effortless Kurta Set
There is a reason kurta sets return every festive season. You can put one on, add jewellery and be dressed without spending half an hour wondering what goes with what.
AAVIDI Gota Sets
One of AAVIDI’s bestselling sets, and for good reason. They are light, easy and particularly good for pujas and long festive days, when you want colour and craft without feeling too formal or overdressed. At S$231, they are also available in ivory, black, red and chocolate. Add a statement earring and a pair of Kolhapuris or juttis, and you’re sorted.

Sabo by Sabina Plain Silk Tunic With Multi-Border Izaar
These are bestsellers for a reason. The relaxed tunic is paired with a Multi-Border Izaar, where panels of colour, embroidery and intricate borders do most of the festive work for you. They’re striking, but the loose silhouette keeps the whole look surprisingly easy to wear. At S$314, they sit just above our S$300 edit, but if you’re shopping with us for the first time, use WELCOME10 for 10% off, bringing them down to S$282.60. The tunic is free size, while the Izaar comes in S/M and M/L. The base colour of the pants will remain as pictured, while the individual borders may vary depending on availability, making each piece a little different.

Sheetal Batra Marwa Short Chauga with Salwar
The deep purple colour and embroidered detailing make this a good choice when you want something more traditional. Add a pair of jhumkas and a few bangles, and you're done.

Rajiramniq Fariba Red Kaftan Kurta Set
The red kaftan makes the outfit feel festive without needing much styling around it. Add statement earrings and a small potli or clutch for a family gathering or dinner.
SHOP THE LOOK
Priti Prashant Paradise Pink with Dupatta
The pink set brings a lighter colour into the mix. Style it with gold earrings and a few bangles, or keep the jewellery to one statement piece if you prefer the dupatta to remain the focus.

Look 3: The Modern Fusion Co-ord
Not every Deepavali invitation requires a saree or a traditional kurta. After all, a good co-ord can bring in colour, print and a little Indian influence while keeping the whole thing easy to wear.
Paulmi & Harsh Saskia Kaftan Set
For those who like a little more volume, the Saskia kaftan set has a more relaxed quality. Add statement earrings and let the silhouette do the rest. It is the kind of festive look that does not require much adjusting once you're dressed.
SHOP THE LOOK
Sabo by Sabina Woven Silk Shirt
The Sabo by Sabina Woven Silk Shirt is another way to approach the Indo-Western look. Made in woven silk and available in hot pink, yellow, black and aubergine, the free-size shirt can be worn with tailored trousers for a sharper look, or paired with denim when you want to take it somewhere more casual.
SHOP THE LOOK
Prahnaaya Nexa Green Hi-Low Top & Flared Palazzo Set
The green set has a more playful silhouette, with the hi-low top and flared palazzos doing plenty of the styling work. Add a pair of statement earrings and keep the rest simple.

Look 4: Jumpsuit + Statement Jewellery
A jumpsuit is perhaps the easiest way to avoid the usual festive-dressing decisions. One piece, one pair of earrings and you're largely there.
Paulmi & Harsh Yume Jumpsuit Set
The red Yume Jumpsuit Set is S$229 and makes a strong case for itself before you even get to the jewellery. Add statement earrings, a small bag and a pair of heels for an evening celebration.
SHOP THE LOOK
Khara Kapas Jumpsuits
The Gulfam, Jashn and Agni Tara jumpsuits by Khara Kapas are made for festive days when you want to look dressed without feeling overly dressed. Fluid, easy and beautifully simple, they also leave plenty of room to make the look your own.
Wear them as they are for something more contemporary, or add a contrasting Kota Doria dupatta for a more desi mood. We love an electric blue dupatta with the Agni Tara, finished with juttis and a pair of earrings.
For a slightly different take, try the Panna Jumpsuit with a stack of bangles instead of statement earrings. It’s a small styling switch, but changes the character of the whole look. The point is, one good jumpsuit can go several ways depending on how you style it.

Look 5: The Budget Hero: Full Look Under S$300
This is where the edit gets particularly useful.
Rather than spending most of the budget on the main garment, look for a piece that leaves enough room for the jewellery that makes it feel festive.
AAVIDI Afghani Bandhani Set + Earrings
At S$209, the AAVIDI Afghani Bandhani Set gives you the complete festive look in one piece. The navy blue kalidaar kurta comes with harem pants, both crafted from a soft silk fabric and finished with hand-embroidered vintage mirror patches. Since each mirror patch is one of a kind, no two sets will look exactly the same. Add a pair of statement earrings and simple footwear, and you have a complete Diwali look without needing to build the outfit piece by piece.
SHOP THE LOOK
Paulmi & Harsh Lela Co-Ord Set
At S$171, the Lela is just above the strict S$150 target, but it is one of the lower-priced complete garments in the edit. Add an existing pair of earrings or bangles, and you can keep the additional spending very small.

Jewellery to Finish the Look
If you are wondering how Sometimes the clothes are already doing enough. What you need is one good piece of jewellery to bring everything together.
Aarjavee Parnika Choker
The Aarjavee Parnika Choker is a good example. Available in gold or silver, the 18k gold-plated brass piece has a delicate leaf-and-flower design that works beautifully with a simple neckline. Wear it with an embroidered dress or kurta when you want the jewellery to be part of the look without adding a pair of earrings and necklace separately.
SHOP THE LOOK
Surmeyi Rasä Showstopper Earrings
For something with more presence, the Surmeyi Rasä Showstopper Earrings bring together sun, moon and fish motifs, with a handcarved mogra detail in glass. The long drop makes them particularly suited to a simple dress or kurta where the earrings can take centre stage.
SHOP THE LOOK
Khara Kapas Kaner Bangle
And then there is the Khara Kapas Kaner Bangle, handcrafted in Jaipur in brass with 18k gold plating. Wear one with a festive kurta, or let it sit alongside a watch or other bracelets when you don't want the jewellery to give off a formal feel.

More Jewellery Inspiration For You
If you are wondering how to mix traditional and contemporary pieces, our guide, The Complete Guide to Ethnic Jewellery: From Temple to Contemporary, is a helpfl place to start. It covers everything from jhumkas and bangles to temple jewellery and statement pieces, with ideas for styling Indian jewellery with both traditional and modern clothing.
The point of a budget edit is not to make the clothes or jewellery seem cheap. Instead, it is to make room for the rest of the wardrobe, too. A good pair of earrings, an old favourite bag and shoes you can actually walk in can take an outfit a surprisingly long way.
When looking for something new for Deepavali, start with the piece you know you'll wear, then build around it. A saree can be kept simple, while a kurta can be dressed up with jewellery. On the other hand, a contemporary co-ord can become your dinner outfit. And a jumpsuit can save you from thinking about the whole thing too much.
