Festival Outfit Ideas

Navarathri is just round the corner and even before you realize, you will already be shopping for Diwali. Just as we are expecting all these beautiful festivals, you would have already been thinking about your festival outfits. What are the latest trends? What to wear this season? What innovativeness can you bring to make your special day all the more special?

Here are some fashion mantras that will make you look good irrespective of your height and shape. Short sleeves and wide necklines will greatly compliment if you have broad shoulders. Women with heavy arms should avoid using thicker or heavier fabrics, whereas the same type of fabrics will compliment women with a slimmer structure and small bustline. Women with big bustline, never go for V necklines as this would emphasize the bust size. Collared or high neckline with 3/4^th or full sleeves will help you create a better effect.

Colours that you wear also play a great role in the way you look and project yourself. Here are few tips on the best colours that you can use this season.

The Magic Of Colours

• Lighter colours work wonders on your smaller areas and dark colors can be used for larger areas of your body. For example, if you have broad shoulders and larger bust line and slimmer hip, go for dark coloured tops or shirts which can be paired with a lighter coloured pant or skirt. This will help you create a more balanced body outline.
• Black and maroon colour looks richer and apt on wheatish and dark complexions.
• Wearing bright coloured and highly appealing accessories will in a way divert the attention of the viewers away from problem areas of your body.
• Regardless of your shape and size, pastel colours can be used just by anyone as it always gives a pleasant and lighter feel.

Now what are you waiting for? Its high time you start making your festival shopping plans, of course with these points in mind.

When & Where To Shop For The Festive Season

Majority of us celebrate at least two major festivals every year and we all love them as festivals bring a lot of fun by getting the entire family together. However, it is also a fact that they are expensive at the same time. Here is a useful tip that will help you deal with the expensive aspect of celebrating festivals – ‘plan ahead’.

  

Why wait until the last moment when you already know that you may have to incur a lot of other expenses during the festive season? Plan well and streamline your expenses to ensure that you enjoy the festival season to the fullest without being stressed about the expenses. Whatever we are saying here can also be applied for other occasions such as family functions.

• Start your shopping process well in advance, say two or three months ahead of the festival season.
• You may have envied people who always wear new (often times expensive) dresses for every function that they attend. You also would have wondered how they manage to accommodate such expenses for every function that they attend. Prudent women shop in advance and always have in store new dresses (a secret that is not often shared) without waiting for the invitations for the functions to reach them before they started their shopping process.

• Start with the dresses that you buy as gifts for your parents, siblings and friends in advance to make certain that you do not miss out anyone in the last moment due to possible budget issues.
• Shop for one member of your family at a time rather than buying for the entire family at the same time. Alternatively, you can also set aside some funds every month so that you will have a sizeable amount during the festival season for your family shopping. However, the common experience is that the funds that we reserve for such purposes are often spent in more ways than one before the festive season defeating the entire purpose of saving for festival shopping.

• There is yet another advantage with this approach. Dress materials that need to be stitched can be purchased and stitched in advance as getting hold of a good tailor during the festive season is far from easy. This will certainly avoid unnecessary anxiety and you will not be forced to wait at the tailor’s place just the day before the festival.
