The wardrobe, naturally, has to keep up.

The days before Diwali have a glow all their own — the lights going up, the Gold Souk glittering a little more enticingly, a sense of something auspicious stirring. In Dubai, where the Indian diaspora runs deep, you can feel it building. At its heart is Dhanteras, two days before Diwali and one of the biggest gold-buying moments of the year, when tradition calls for carrying something precious — gold above all — over the threshold to welcome good fortune in.
