Holi is a festival that transcends boundaries, marking the arrival of spring with a symphony of vibrant colours and cheerful spirits. It is a day we all look forward to for many reasons, be it the food, dance, colours, or spending time with your loved ones.
As the air fills with joy and the streets come alive with high-spirited people, the importance of choosing the right outfit for the occasion becomes even more important. Follow these tips and step out looking your best for the festivities!
Wear white or light coloured clothing
White has been a common favourite on Holi for a while now. It acts as a blank canvas for the vibrant colours to pop and the best part is that it can be easily styled in a number of ways with your favourite jewellery and accessories. You can choose simple and comfortable patiala style salwar kameez or opt for kurta sets with more designs and details. Otherwise, go for the classic t-shirt and cotton pants.
Add a colourful dupatta
Colourful dupattas are a staple choice for Holi celebrations. Not only do they hold the power to completely transform your outfits, but also add a touch of boldness to your look. You can choose any shade and pattern you like including dupattas embroidered with intricate patterns or those adorned with playful tassels. Ideally choose something that provides a stark contrast to the rest of your outfit, to bring out the brightness of the attire.
Wear eye-catching jewellery
Make a statement with jewellery pieces that incorporate colourful elements to reflect the spirit of Holi. Choose from a range of options for earrings, necklaces, or bracelets featuring beads, tassels, pom-poms, or fabric accents in vibrant hues, or choose oxidised silver jewellery set if in doubt. These showstopping accessories will easily complement your dress as well as add a bit of playfulness to the look.
Don flashy shades
You can never go wrong by adding a pair of brightly coloured sunglasses or tinted shades to complete the look. Look for frames in radiant hues such as bright oranges, reds, yellows, greens, and pinks. Go for a neon shade if you want to draw even more attention to your Holi ensemble. Not only that, your shades will also perform the added function of protecting your eyes from the sun’s harmful rays, helping you enjoy the festival to the fullest.
Choose comfortable footwear
It is essential to choose comfortable footwear for Holi. Choose closed-toe shoes or sandals that are comfortable and easy to clean, but also compliment your outfit. These types of footwear will shield your feet from all the colours and water. It is best to avoid wearing expensive or delicate footwear, as there is a possibility of them getting damaged during the festivities. Rubber sandals, flip-flops or old sneakers are the best choices for Holi celebrations.
