To finish off the look, tie up scarves or a bandana on your head.
Well this outfit idea is for those quirky men who don’t want to go for the standard route and wish to keep their Holi outfit easy breezy and on the go comfy. The perfect option for this approach is to go with any old denim and pair it up with a long kurta or white tee for a unique and casual vibe.
Holi isn’t all about wearing heavy and tight-fitting ensembles. Pick comfortable, and light flowy fabrics for maximum ease.
Avoid high heels at all times as the chaotic festival demands running and chasing around which is going to be really difficult and dangerous in high heels. After all, who wants sprained ankles on such a cheerful festival?
Since you will be going all white, make sure you don’t wear a differently coloured bra underneath. Pick a padded bra over a non-padded one for a no-headlight show.
| Dos | Don’ts |
|---|---|
| Oil your hair thoroughly before the party | Avoid wearing any uncomfortable footwear like chunky heels |
| Always wear sunscreen to protect your skin | Skip very heavy or any full-coverage makeup |
| Paint your nails to prevent any sort of staining | Do not wear heavy jewellery or something that might react with water and other chemicals |
| Wear sunglasses. Carrying a pair of sunglasses while playing Holi is the best eye-care tip | Do not wear contact lenses as most of them have water-absorbing properties and tend to concentrate any coloured water that enters the eye |
| Wear head accessories such as scarves and bandanas for that style oomph and to protect your hair | Do not self-medicate in case of emergency |
