So whether you’re invited to a friend’s Holi bash, are attending a lively neighbourhood party or are hosting a Holi party for your loved ones at your place, we’ve got you covered with these tips.
- Opt for Lightweight Fabrics: Lightweight fabrics like Cotton and Linen offer maximum comfort and breathability, keeping you cool and at ease as you partake in the Holi festivities. Whether you're playing with colours or dancing to lively music, party outfits for women crafted out of lightweight fabrics dry quickly and allow you to move around freely for extended hours.

Whether you’re playing Holi with powdered herbal colours or water, lighter colours are sure to create a visually striking effect. What’s more, lighter colours tend to reflect sunlight rather than absorb it, helping to keep you cool and more comfortable.
- Hair Care is Important: Before you head to any Holi party, give yourself a nice coconut oil head massage to protect your hair from potential damage that the Holi colours may cause. Alternatively, up your style game and carry a bandana that you can tie on your head during the celebrations. Keep it simple or choose a bandana that complements your outfit and adds a pop of colour to your ensemble.
- Flaunt Playful Prints: Playful and soft prints like florals, geometric designs and more in light colours are appropriate for Holi. These prints can add further enhance your Holi outfit which might otherwise be minimal or plain.
