Below are a few of our seasoned styling tips for festivals.

1. Layer up

A day out during the festival spell is like living all 4 seasons at once. So, layers will be your BFFs in a situation like this. A plaid shirt and a light knitted cardigan that you can either tie around your waist or around your shoulders when the sun shines bright, are a must, if you are going western with your ensemble. For a more traditional look, an Indian jacket can work great, and it looks gorgeous too, doesn’t it?!

A neck chief, a scarf in subtle prints or purse-friendly bandanas or a dupatta can be your companion to fend off the chill. Also, if your hair gets all greasy, by the end of the day, you can use your scarf or chunri to veil the grease.

2. Don’t forget your backpack at home

A backpack is a must-have, not only coz it’s super useful and practical, but also because it is also a way of defining your fashion sense. A chic and vibrant bag can fit all your necessaries like water, makeup kit, purse, etc., and is the perfect accessory for your ensemble.

3. Forget delicate footwear

A flip flop or a sandal is a footwear option that will lure you this festive season. You need to resist the temptation! Often festivals take in a fair amount of walking from one place to another. Should I even mention situations when you get your feet trodden on?! And the toilet peril… let’s not even go there! So, keeping all that in mind, we suggest you pick something that is sturdy like a pair of converse or wedges or ankle boots. Also go for darker colors, for obvious reasons!

4. Sunspecs are a MUST!

 Apart from daubing generous layers of sunscreen on your skin, you also NEED a quirky, funky or a classy pair of dark glasses to protect your eyes! If you are not in the mood of splurging those bills for a pair of designer glasses, that is not a problem; get yourself a cute cheap wear-and-throw pair, and you are good to go!

5. Trust your tights!

 The default festival look = Baring the legs! Well, the festive spirit compels us to do just that, doesn’t it? In such a situation, your tights will be your besties! These are easily washable, quick to dry, and amazingly warm. As the evening chill sets in, you can wear these under your pajamas, skirts or palazzos for an instant warm up, if I may call it so!

Now that we have run you through the festival fashion tips, let us dive straight into the color combinations you ought to try this festive season.

1. Orange with monochrome

A burst of saffron is all you need to rock the desi look. Club it with monochrome, and you are ready for the gods! I love that pop of pulsating red Nilu’s lips have indulged in!

2. Green with purple

Equipoise a pair of upbeat green palazzos with a white kurta. You can team the pair with Kolhapuri chappals (go nuts with the feet accessories like toe rings and payals!). If you are not into feet flirting, slip on a statement choker in deep lavender.

3. Black with gold

The black sari with golden border needs a break, people! How about trying on a chequered sari blouse with a saree that’s a pro at color blocking?! Also, the aviators are rocking the whole rigout, methinks!

4. Olive green with fuchsia

The fashion world is going all crazy over this color combination, and we are no exception! You can either go for an olive green and fuchsia sari-choli combo or a skirt-crop top ensemble! If there is any other combination that floats your boat, let us know about it in the comment section below!

5. Cobalt blue with magenta

This one is a match made in heaven, and as long as we dress up for our festivals in an ethnic way, this combination will rule over all others!

6. Brick red with navy

For those of you who like to play it safe, this blend works best. It is unfussy and yet, so chic! Silver bangles, a statement neckpiece and a pair of jhumkas, are a must!

7. Canary yellow with pink

The color pairing is what we are hearting here apart from the tribal jewelry that’s on-point! For those who like turning heads whenever they walk into a party, this is your baby!

8. Pastel blue with white

When trying to tone down the outfit to stand out in a crowd of boho vibey colors and combinations, this graceful, muted look can be your ‘go to’! Not only is it subtle and refined, but also speaks volumes about who you are without you having to utter a word!

“If my doctor told me I had only six minutes to live, I wouldn't brood. I'd type a little faster.” This Isaac Asimov line, embraces my love for writing in the finest and most desperate way that it is and should be! I was tormented by the earnestness of the written word not very early in my journey. But once smitten, it has helped me devour life twice over; savoring the moment and indulging in its memories. As a flâneuse, I wander to understand the intricacies of human relationships. Realizing that, they are just different manifestations of the same feeling of love, has been my greatest learning. I seek to share its opulence through the words I type.
