As Indian festivals approach, families everywhere are preparing outfits that reflect both tradition and comfort. Among the most sought-after trends this year is the rise of Paithani jackets for kids—a stylish and culturally rooted garment that adds instant elegance to any festive ensemble. Designed to be both functional and festive, these jackets are quickly becoming a go-to choice for mothers looking to dress their sons in timeless fashion.
In this blog, we’ll explore why Paithani jackets are gaining popularity, how to style them, and the top picks available this season.
Rooted in the iconic Paithani weave of Maharashtra, these jackets carry traditional motifs like peacocks and temple borders in zari on silk or silk-blend fabrics. But what makes Paithani jackets for kids special is how they adapt heritage styling into easy-to-wear, child-friendly garments.

Kanira’s kidswear range includes several standout pieces designed specifically for boys. Two notable designs include:
This Paithani jacket features an intricate parrot and peacock motif on a soft cream base, accented with a subtle temple zari border. A perfect choice for pujas or daytime family gatherings.
For a bold and festive look, the small peacock red variant stands out. Its deep red color and rich zari detailing are ideal for evening celebrations and traditional ceremonies.
Both designs are lightweight, easy to pair with kurtas or dhotis, and tailored to fit comfortably across age groups.
The versatility of Paithani jackets allows parents to mix and match with different base outfits while maintaining a polished look.
Pairing a Paithani jacket with a plain cream or beige kurta and pajama set lets the design of the jacket take center stage. This style works well for family events, house pujas, and temple visits.
For a more traditional look, moms are pairing these jackets with dhotis or jodhpuri-style pants in contrasting colors. Add a small gold chain or mojari shoes to complete the ensemble.
Styling siblings or a mother-son duo in coordinated Paithani fabrics makes for elegant family photos. For mother’s outfit ideas, see our post on Luxury Handloom Picks: Paithani Jacket for Women.
