Be it wanting to go all out with playing Holi or having a fun afternoon with your friends over thandai and mutton curry, Holi is always fun! And of course any festive occasion calls for an outfit that you can post to the 'gram. Here are six Holi outfit ideas that'll do the job perfectly, whether you're looking to play with colours or just chill.
6 Of The Best Holi Outfit Ideas To Wear To All Kinds Of Holi Parties
The Quintessential Holi Outfit
The quintessential Holi outfit, you cannot go wrong with an all-white ensemble. A white chikankari kurta and bottoms is what you'll see most celebs sporting in their Holi photos. This outfit is good if you're a fan of playing with colours, want the most dramatic after pictures, and also great if you're attending a Holi party for the company and the thandai! Add a pair of flats and big jhumkas (although we would suggest opting out of these if you're planning to play) and you're set!
The Balam Pichkari-Inspired Outfit
This Deeepika Padukone-Balam Pichkari-inspired outfit is comfortable and stylish. It give you enough breathing space to survive the summer sun and give you enough room to move—whether it is to play or to dance your heart out. Pair it up with flats and small hoops and you have the perfect casual party look.
The Fancy Lunch Outfit
If you're anything like us, you're only at a Holi Party for the Bollywood music, the thandai and the maal pua and would announce to the world that you'll scream bloody murder if anyone tries to get near you with a plate of colours. So it makes sense that we pull out a bright cotton saree and lounge in one corner of the party with plates of food getting replenished, and the drink glass never being empty.
The Casual Drinks Outfit
No matter what the occasion, you cannot go wrong with a dress. You can pick from flowy long ones, or summery short ones. Pair it up with a pair of flats or wedges and you have a summer day outfit ready. If you're not playing with colours, we would suggest picking a bright print to match the vibe of the day.
The Dinner And Drinks Outfit
Perfect for a night or day party, if you're planning to spend the night before Holi at a party then this is the only outfit you need. A great dupatta will make every ethnic outfit stand out, and it is only logical to get a bold and bright one for Holi.
For The Ones Who Plan To Really Play
This might seem like an odd suggestion, but if you think about it, it is kind of perfect. With activewear you get better absorption, you'll be free to run around, really have a go at your friends, and you'll be comfortable the whole day. We do think we've cracked the perfect outfit for the ones who take their Holi play seriously.
