Diwali, the Hindu New Year, the festival of lights, the festival of love and togetherness, is right around the corner. This is the festival when you spend time with your loved ones, party, and play card games, while you gore yourself with some delicious food. Unlike some other Indian festivals, it’s also a time when you can dress to impress and flaunt your amazing fashion sense. Diwali is almost a week-long festival, and that gives you a lot of time to try out your favorite outfits. The most important thing is to be comfortable during the celebrations. We have for you a few tips to help you dress your best this festive season.
Go Traditional
Diwali is one of the best times to flaunt your traditional outfits. Wear your most gorgeous sarees and your pretty suits and go out all traditional, decked with the perfect accessories and accoutrements.
Fusion-wear
If traditional is not what defines you, you can always go for fusion. Compare Indian wear with your western wear and create the perfect look. Men can pair denims with nice Nehru Jackets and shirts and women can pair traditional long skirts with basic tops and accessories. The world is your oyster when it comes to fusion.
The Shoes
Footwear can go a long way in helping you define your sense of fashion. Traditional shoes like Jodhpuri or Kolhapuri chappals can tie of an outfit very nicely. If you wear heels, make sure that you choose a pair that is comfortable and stylish. You could also choose some nice designs in flip flops, whatever goes with your outfit and is comfortable.
Ornaments
Jewellery always works towards enhancing the overall look of a person. Look for some good jewellery that you can pair with your outfit. Do not overdo the jewellery part, but don’t be scared to go for statement pieces either.
Themes
If you are holding or attending a Diwali party, dress according to the theme. If it’s all about socializing, you can go with fusion, if it’s a pooja party, full traditional would work better, and so on. However, you could try avoiding lighter colors so they don’t stain in case you spill something on them.
Colors
Just a tip, but you can even take this chance to opt for some unconventional colors like wine red or neon; colors that you wouldn’t otherwise be wearing. The important part is that you pair them with the right jewellery, make up, and footwear.
Diwali is a time for love and for celebration; and when your outfit is on point, enjoying the festivities just becomes more fun.
