Tips For Choosing The Perfect Diwali Outfit

Diwali is the best time to give your wardrobe a festive revamp. 

 But if the sheer number of options is clouding your judgement, allow us to  acquaint you with some cool tips for choosing Diwali outfits for women:

  • Trending Colours

Diwali is all about sparkle, sass and a whole lot of style! From going for a wholesome glamorous look to a more relaxed and comfortable vibe, choosing the right colours for your Diwali outfit can make all the difference. 

If you are thinking of something bold, bright and festive, Red remains a classic favourite!  For something that is particularly festive and super vibrant,  Gold and Yellow are great choices. And if you are up for some experimentation, Blue, Green and Pink are also on trend. 

To all those who like to play it safe but don’t feel like compromising on the festive appeal, Maroon and Ivory are elegant choices for you. 

  • Right Fabric

Experimenting with styles and fabrics while putting together outfit ideas for Diwali will make you feel festive and fabulous at the same time! 

If you want something luxurious, silk or velvet are always a good choice. For those who have a penchant for comfort without compromising on style, Cotton and linen are breathable and effortlessly chic. Silk, Velvet and Brocade are your best bets if you wish to embody regal vibes as these fabrics can add richness and elegance to any outfit. Furthermore, Chanderi is also a great choice if you are looking for something festive, light and airy. While choosing fabrics for your Diwali outfit ideas, avoid synthetic fibres such as polyester and nylon as they are not particularly safe when dealing with fire. 

  • Body Type Considerations

When choosing your Diwali outfit, it's always a good idea to go for something that flatters your body type. 

 If you have a pear-shaped body, choose A-line lehengas,  anarkalis or straight suit sets. These outfits help to keep your proportions beautifully balanced. 

For all our lovely ladies with apple-shaped bodies, flared kurtas and palazzos work wonders for creating a slimming effect while looking chic. 

 If you have a petite frame, avoid loud prints and heavy embellishments that can weigh down your figure and overwhelm your personality. At the end of the day, Diwali outfits are all about wearing what makes you feel your absolute best. 

  • Personal Style Preferences

Diwali is a great time to express and enjoy your style. 

For those who want to keep things simple yet stylish, a stunning kurta set or a draped saree from Binks will be ideal for you. 

 If you want to glam up all the way, an embroidered lehenga or a Banarasi will make you shine brighter than a diya. Diwali is a time to have fun with fashion. So, experiment to your heart’s content and create the perfect look that makes you feel confident and beautiful all at once. 

How To Style Readymade Blouses For Diwali

Diwali is the perfect occasion for all our lovely ladies who love to shine through their styling, Binks’ readymade blouses are a must-have for you. These blouses make styling easier than ever and help you put together amazing looks. 

With Sarees

When styling a readymade blouse with a saree, the best way to make a statement is to play with contrasts. Choose a blouse that contrasts with the saree. You can try pairing a darker or richer shade with a lighter saree or vice versa. This will create a striking and balanced look that is sure to catch the eye

Blouses with intricate embroidery can instantly enhance the overall elegance of your saree and make it look very festive. 

You can also try out unique necklines like boat neck, off-shoulder, low neck blouse or a sweetheart neckline to add a flattering touch to your ensemble. 

With lehengas 

When it comes to lehengas, the right readymade blouse can completely transform your look.  Matching your blouse with the colour and pattern of your lehenga creates an elegant look. If your lehenga is plain, you can enhance it with a statement blouse. 

While choosing readymade blouses for traditional outfits for Diwali, do not ignore the back design of your blouse. A well-designed back, be it a deep back neckline, or an embroidered one,  can add that wow factor to your festive look.
