Mahashivratri 2025 Outfits: The festival of Mahashivratri is observed on the Chaturdashi tithi of Krishna Paksh in the month of Phalhgun in the Hindu calendar. This year it will be celebrated on 26 February, Wednesday.
A major Hindu festival, Mahashivratri is usually celebrated by wearing traditional outfits by men and women. Women can choose from an array of sarees, suits,s, and shararas, whereas men may struggle to find their right pick for ethnic wear.
But fret not, since Bollywood heartthrob Vicky Kaushal can help you in choosing the right desi wear to wear on Mahashivratri 2025.
For a subtle charm, Vicky Kaushal’s cream-colored Kurta is apt for the festival of Mahashivratri. With the embroidery details of flower petals all over it, this kurta paired with a salwar adds a feminine touch to the look making it a harmonious balance of masculine and feminine energies just like Lord Shiva.

If you want to move away from the traditional kurta with salwar combination you can opt for something like an indo-western set featuring ethnic or abstract prints on it befitting the occasion of Mahashivratri. A short kurta-like jacket paired with a pair of straight trousers, this indo-western fit will make you look dapper.

For a tinge of grandeur in your look, you can skip the regular kurtas for a button-down kurta with a front slit adding the charm of a sherwani in a unique traditional wear. Pair it with white pants and dark loafers for a cohesive look.

The trendiest of fabrics at the moment, Chikankari has found its way into men’s closets too. Its intricate threadwork details make it a popular choice for simple yet traditional sets.
