New Delhi: Lohri is one of Punjab’s most joyful harvest festivals, celebrated every year on January 13 to mark the end of winter and the arrival of longer days. Centred around bonfires, folk songs, bhangra, giddha and traditional treats, the festival holds special meaning for newborns and young families. Dressing children, particularly the babies in festive outfits becomes a cherished part of the celebration, exuding cultural charm with comfort for little ones enjoying their Lohri moments.
Lohri outfits for babies, like cosy rompers or miniature ethnic wear, will look pretty in bright colours, soft fabrics and focus on easy movement. A baby girl’s flared lehenga or a baby boy’s kurta set will ensure warmth, comfort and festive appeal with thoughtful styling. Here are adorable Lohri dress ideas to help your children and newborn babies look celebration-ready without compromising ease or safety.
These festive rompers featuring cheerful slogans or Punjabi motifs are a popular choice. Made from breathable cotton, they are gentle on sensitive skin and ideal for long celebrations.
Soft jumpsuits with light embroidery or cultural patterns work well for winter festivities. Colours like mustard yellow, red and deep pink add vibrancy while keeping the outfit practical.
A cotton bodysuit paired with a fleece jumper, cardigan or sweater ensures warmth. Add soft booties to keep your baby comfortable during outdoor celebrations.
Tiny salwar-kameez sets in bright hues with subtle gota patti or mirror work create a traditional look while remaining lightweight and baby-friendly.
A flared skirt paired with a short kurti or blouse offers a festive silhouette. Choose soft linings and elastic waists for easy movement.
Colourful skirts with matching tops featuring folk prints or mild embellishments make for an adorable ethnic option during family gatherings.
A timeless Lohri favourite, kurta-pyjamas in cotton or silk blends look festive and feel comfortable. Shades like mustard, red and emerald green work especially well.
