Diwali is around the corner and all I can think about is how to smarten up my outfits. As we know it is a traditional festival filled with lights, sweets, and love, but we also want something trendy to wear. I would suggest you a fusion of Indian and Western outfits but sometimes we don’t know how to make that fusion. These Indo-western outfits are a great way to show respect and love for your outfit at the same time. This column has 5 ways in which you can spruce up your Diwali outfits without spending much.
1. Choose the right color and type of outfit for the fusion
This is a basic idea that I would suggest. Fusion looks good only with the right colors. Choose primary colors with the secondary ones. Some of the combinations can work wonders for you. Select what outfit suits you right and you’re good to go. Some fusion outfits include lehengas with a jacket, palazzo pants with sleeveless tops, or saree with jeans.
2. Adding accessories to your outfit
Accessorize what you’re wearing with jewelry and belts. A saree would look beautiful with a small-width belt. Oxidized jewelry is in trend and can look classy with almost all outfits be it saree, palazzos, or lehenga. If your outfit contains a lot of sequences, you can go with minimal jewelry like an earring or a bracelet.
3. Choosing the right makeup
You can choose the right makeup depending on your outfit. If you’re wearing a dark-colored outfit, go for light makeup; if you’re wearing a light-colored outfit, go for dark-colored makeup. Apply products that do not have a bad reaction to your skin. If you have sensitive skin, you can also go with a liner and lipstick.
4. Selecting the right footwear
Sometimes, people forget to focus on their footwear when they have spent their time and money on outfits. But selecting the right footwear can benefit you in person. You should wear something which doesn’t irritate your feet. You can opt for some fancy sandals or block heels or wedges.
5. Making the right hairstyle
You should not use hair straighteners and dryers as it produces a lot of heat and damage your hair. Instead, you can make a side partition and twist your hair or make a side braid. You can also style your hair with some fancy pins which matches with your outfit.
