Diwali 2023: Tips for Selecting the Perfect Deepavali Outfit!

Diwali is all about sweets, bursting crackers, get-togethers and exchanging gifts. Oh, and, but not without dressing up. We all want to look our best. From accessories to attire, everything should be perfect. This year, the Diwali festivities will begin on November 10 with Dhanteras. And, if you are running short of ideas to style yourself, fret not. We are here to help.

Diwali 2023 Fashion Tips

1. First and foremost you should always prioritise comfort, even if it comes to festivals. Diwali requires a ton of running around, so make sure you are wearing something that does not constrict your moments or require high upkeep.
2. Choose clothes that reduce the risk of catching fire. During Diwali, all corners of one’s house are lit up with diyas and candles, therefore it’s advisable to avoid dupattas or pallus that drag too long and are hard to manage.
3. Pick luminous and smooth fabrics like banarasi silk, chanderi, and organza to get an effortlessly bright and cheerful look.
4. If you are wearing outfits made of fabrics like khadi, use bright accessories and jewellery to add more vibrancy to the outfit.
5. Streamline your online shopping by putting filters such as price range or size. This will help you save time and prevent you from getting overwhelmed with too many options.
6. Don’t be afraid of mixing and matching. Diwali is all about colours and bling. Play with your creativity, be it by improvising crop tops as blouses or using belts as kamarbandhs.
7. Don’t underestimate the power of makeup. A sparkly eye shadow or bright-coloured lipstick can elevate a boring outfit without much effort.
8. When in doubt, stick to the classics. Girls can always rely on a solid-coloured saree and boys can stick to a simple kurta set with a Nehru jacket.
9. Make masks a part of your outfits. Just because you have been vaccinated against Covid-19 does not mean you should ditch the mask. While the COVID-19 emergency is behind us, we can still get infected with the virus and fall sick, especially if we are going to crowded places such as Diwali melas. Besides, masks offer protection against pollution, which increases due to crackers bursting around Diwali. One can colour-coordinate masks with their outfits to make a fashion statement out of responsible behaviour.
