1. Go all Traditional
Diwali comes only once a year and it is your best time to flaunt your Indian wear. So go ALL traditional. Wear that beautiful Paithani saree your mother got for you and pair with the beautiful nathini (nose ring) or wear the gorgeous Kanjeevaram saree and put on some gold jewellery which will put others to envy.
2. Fusion
If traditional ain’t your thing go fusion! Combine Indian and western wear. For the men wear a sexy pair of jeans with the Bandhgala or a Nehru jacket with a nice shirt. Women can wear traditional embroidery skirts with simple and basic looking tops and accessorise it to give a nice traditional look.
3. Colours
Colours work the best irrespective of fashion, festivities and fads. Wear a range of colours, you can probably have a personal colour- dress code for everyday occasions. Red for Laxmi Pooja, blue for Bhaidooj, etc. You can wear multicolored prints and pair it with a classic bracelet-watch to go with the look. Dress well.
4. Footwear
Footwear really defines a person’s sense of style and fashion. Pair your outfit with nice Jodhpuri or Kolhapuri chappals. You can wear nice flipflops which are stylish yet comfortbale embellished with designs and glittery stones. Wear heels that are comfortable and avoid stilettos or pencil heels as they may fidget with your outfit causing you discomfort.
5. Jewellery
Ornaments beautify an individual’s overall look. Wear good jewellery and pair it well with your outfit and footwear. If your dress it traditional with loud colours wear a statement piece of jewellery like a big necklace. Do NOT wear too many jewellery pieces else the overall look can turn out to be gaudy. Go mix and match pair funky junk jewellery with traditional and traditional jewellery with a indo-western wear but do it really well else you may end up looking like a fashion disaster.
6. Wear the theme
If you are going to attend a Diwali party or throwing one yourself, dress according to the occasion. If the party is all about fun and games and socializing wear fusion that is trendy and comfortable, if the party is dancing and merry making wear trendy tops, stylized jackets harem pants and pallazos that would guarantee comfort for long and if the occasion is about performing pooja and worshipping the deity wear sarees or anarkali suits. Avoid light colors like white as it would be difficult to wash off the stains incase you spill something on them.
7. Harem pants to rock the Diwali bash
Harem pants in one ensemble that can be worn traditionally or as a western outfit. It all depends on the way you desire to look.
