What to Wear on Diwali (Men): Kurta + Gold Chain Styling Guide 2026
A simple guide to pairing a gold chain and bracelet with your Diwali outfit, from a plain kurta to a festive blazer.
Diwali outfits for men are easy to plan: a kurta, a shirt or a festive blazer. The finishing touch is where most men stop short. A well-chosen gold chain or bracelet turns a good outfit into a complete festive look. Here is how to style a gold chain with your Diwali outfit without overdoing it.
01 / Let the Neckline Decide
Open or V-neck kurta
The chain is fully visible, so choose one that suits the occasion. A slim chain keeps it subtle. A heavier link makes it a statement.
Mandarin or band collar
Not much neck is on show, so let a bracelet carry the look, or wear a short chain that sits just at the collar.
Shirt or festive blazer
Leave the top button open and let the chain sit on the collarbone or chest.
02 / Match the Chain to the Outfit
Plain cotton kurta: Wheat Chain
Fine, textured links that stay refined and never overpower a simple outfit. Available in 18, 20 or 22 inches. Shop the Wheat Chain
Embroidered or silk kurta: Nawabi Chain
A handcrafted Indian design with a royal feel that matches richer fabrics. Shop the Nawabi Chain
Puja and family evenings: Royal Byzantine Chain
An intricate woven pattern with real presence. Wear it alone. Shop the Byzantine Chain
Diwali party with a blazer: Cuban Chain
Bold interlocking links that hold their own over a shirt. Shop the Cuban Chain
03 / Add One Bracelet
A bracelet finishes the look. The Royal Link Gold Bracelet works well with a kurta, since its interlocking links catch the light at the cuff. Wear it on the wrist opposite your watch so the two do not compete.
04 / Three Styling Rules
One statement piece
If the chain is bold, keep the bracelet simple, and the other way round.
Match the metal tone
Keep your watch, ring and jewellery in the same gold tone for a clean look.
Think about length
Around 20 inches sits near the collarbone, and 22 inches sits lower on the chest.
05 / Diwali Outfit FAQs
Can I wear a gold chain with a kurta?
Yes. With an open or V-neck kurta, a chain looks natural. With a band collar, let a bracelet do the work.
Which gold chain is best for Diwali?
The wheat chain for a subtle festive look, or the Byzantine or Nawabi chain for a richer one.
Is gold plated jewellery fine for festive wear?
Yes. Our chains are 22K gold plated with an anti-tarnish finish made for daily wear. They are plated, not solid gold.
