Holi – the festival of colours – is upon us, and it's time to unleash your inner child with a vibrant celebration. But before you dive headfirst into the colour wars, let's talk about how to stay stylish while you slay. Gone are the days when you would step out to play Holi in your old clothes and all oiled up. With Holi parties popping up everywhere, it's turned into a fashion showdown too! So, let me spill the beans on how you can go from drab to fab before you morph into a walking rainbow.
Go Traditional
This isn't the time to break out your best threads. Cotton is your best friend – breathable and easy to clean. Opt for a cool kurta with relaxed-fit pyjamas or dhoti pants. Bonus points for playful prints or colour-blocking!
Crocs for Colours
Leather shoes and Holi don't exactly mix. Opt for colourful flip-flops or slippers that you can easily wash off later.
Vibrant Vibes
A colourful shirt or a scarf is a great way to add a pop of colour. Wear a scarf to protect your neck and hair from the onslaught of colour. Plus, it can be tied around your face in a pinch for a quick colour shield.
Accessorize Wisely:
Skip the metal accessories – they'll get ruined with coloured water. A cool pair of sunglasses and a funky hat will protect you from the sun and add some personality to your look.
Pro Tip: Apply moisturizer liberally before heading out. It creates a barrier that makes colour easier to wash off.
Embrace the White
Going the traditional route? A crisp white kurta with a colourful Nehru jacket is a timeless Holi look.
Chances are you'll want to head out after the celebrations. Pack a change of clothes and some wet wipes to freshen up before hitting the town.
