ANSWER

Hi Josie,

Thanks for your nice words and the happiest of Holi to you. Holi is a joyous spring festival celebrated all around the world. But, for the fashionistas in us, this is just another chance to live out our Bollywood fantasies by wearing all-white outfits.

We’ve got you covered in the best all-white outfits for the season’s ultimate party, whether it’s a traditional white salwar kameez or a boho-chic white maxi dress. With these outfits, you’ll be the diva this Holi.

An All-White Suit with a Vibrant Dupatta!

The ultimate Holi outfit is incomplete without a plain white suit to experiment with colorful dupattas of all kinds like Bandhani, Leheriya, and Phulkari; all these varieties are just a few examples. Make a colorful statement with Chikankari salwar kameezes, Anarkalis, or Shararas.

Denim Shorts and a White Crop Top.

We weren’t going to miss out on this. At least once in our lives, we’ve all opted for the classic route – be it brunch or dinner. So why not replicate the look for Holi, too? You can also channel major summer vibes by kicking off the celebration by donning one of the most popular summer staples: denim shorts. You’ll be tapping your feet to the beats looking like a diva in your blue shorts and white top with a modern update for Holi. One of our favorite Holi ensembles.

Ganjee and Maxi Skirt Mix ‘n’ Match.

It is one of our favorites and a Holi classic. Dress up your tiered maxi skirt with a strappy ganjee or a crop top for the look and feel of the lehenga without the hassle. This look can be worn with or without a dupatta for a stylish touch to get your Holi started.

White Boho Kaftan!

Putting on a kaftan is like falling in love. The boho trend never goes out of style, and if you choose a kaftan, you’ll feel like a modern gypsy queen wherever you go. With its intricately crafted Boho-Chic design, this dress will surely turn heads.

Don a Shirt Dress!

For a comfortable and stylish look at this Holi, opt for an oversized shirt dress to look elegant and casual at the same time. To look uber-chic and airy, pick a pastel color. Add a brown belt and comfortable white sneakers to your outfit. Stump earrings can add style to your look.

Off-White Saree and Bright-Colored Blouse!

You can’t go wrong with a beautiful classic saree with a vibrant blouse if you want to go all traditional this Holi. Pair an off-white colored saree with an orange blouse that features intricate patterns to match the festive mood. Add a sleek hair bun, chunky oxidized earrings, and comfortable Kolhapuris to complete your look.

I hope you found enough inspiration here to get you going. What are you planning to wear to Holi this year? We’d love to hear from you. Lastly, don’t forget to protect yourself with a mask at all times.

Love,

Petrica!
