Teej 2026: What to Wear — Sarees, Suits and Lehengas for the Festival
Teej is one of the most vibrant festivals in the Indian calendar — a celebration of the monsoon, of marriage, and of feminine energy. Observed primarily in Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and across North India, Teej 2026 falls in late July. Here is everything you need to know about what to wear.
The Colours of Teej
Green is the primary colour — parrot green, bottle green, mint, sage, emerald. Yellow is strongly associated with the festival. Bright pink, orange, and red are also traditional choices.

Elegant Green Katan Silk Saree — green is the most auspicious colour for Teej. Shop now at Rangoli India.
Sarees for Teej
Because Teej falls in the monsoon, lightweight fabrics are the right choice. Georgette, chiffon, and mulmul cotton all work beautifully. If celebrations are indoors with air conditioning, organza or tissue silk is also excellent.

Yellow Dola Silk Banarasi Saree — yellow is the second most traditional Teej colour. Shop now at Rangoli India.
Suits and Salwar Kameez for Teej
Anarkali suits in green or yellow are a very popular Teej choice — the flared silhouette photographs beautifully and moves well.
Lehengas for Teej
A bright green or yellow lehenga with heavy embroidery or mirror work is extremely in keeping with the spirit of the festival. Gota patti work, mirror embroidery, and thread work are all traditional choices.
Jewellery for Teej
Green glass bangles stacked up the arm are one of the most recognisable symbols of the festival. Silver jewellery is traditional in many communities. Mehendi is essential — plan your blouse sleeves so your mehendi is visible.
