Holi Fashion: Styling tips
Before we look into some amazing outfits, let us familiarise you with some easy and go-to styling hacks to slay your look this Holi! You can incorporate these tips into your holi outfit based on your preferences.
Silver oxidised jewellery has been in trend for quite some time now. Most women tend to style their semi-casual and ethnic outfits with oxidised jewellery for a boho-chic look. If you wear an ethnic outfit, try pairing it with a modest oxidised bracelet or a tiny earring. But if you are wearing a casual party outfit, style it with a choker necklace for a graceful look.
Holi is all fun and games until you have to deal with heavy traffic in the sun, flying colours, and dust in the air. To protect your eyes from the sun and the chemicals from the colours, we advise you to carry a pair of sunglasses with you at all times during the day.
P.S. If you are wearing a full white outfit, go for black sunglasses or colour-tinted ones for a fun look.
This ethnic equivalent of flip-flops is the classic Kohlpauri sandals. And since Holi is all about being comfortable running around and dancing with your friends, Kohlapuris are the perfect option to stay stylish and comfy. This colourful footwear also complements your white outfits the best!
Along with following these style tips, you should also pay attention to your hair during Holi. Make sure to use enough oil on your skin and hair. For your hair, you can mix both coconut oil and castor oil. This will help keep your scalp and hair healthy and protect your hair from harsh chemical dyes.
