What Colours Can You Wear for Diwali Besides Red?

Introduction

Red has traditionally been the color associated with the festival of Diwali, but this is not to say that it is the only color appropriate for such celebrations. In recent years, Diwali fashion has gradually expanded, including such colors as mustard, orange, sage green and even grey in the festive wardrobe with equal frequency to the regular reds and maroons. The Gulbhahar collection includes many such festive suits which showcase how Diwali dressing can embrace new colors as festive as red, yet different from the look others in the room would likely wear.

Why More People Are Shifting Away from Red Colors on Diwali

Red has traditionally been associated with this festival, but its popularity and widespread usage during this holiday season can easily make it seem old-fashioned and boring when everybody in the room wears some variation of red clothing. Choosing another festive color allows you to stand out in any conversation and photo taken on such occasions without looking inappropriate and unprepared. Moreover, choosing a different festive color gives you more freedom to express your personality through fashion choices than following the trends.

Is Mustard a Good Option as Red Substitute for Diwali?

Absolutely. Mustard is definitely one of the strongest options available for Diwali colors as it has similar warmth but not as expected as a color. This is evident from the Mustard Yellow Festive Suit where the zardozi and sequin embroidery reflects the light of diya. The gold and copper details of the dress have festive look and are equally impressive irrespective of whether you perform puja in the afternoon or have dinner in the evening. Mustard is a good option for all skin types and this is another reason for its popularity during Diwali.

Is Orange Suitable as Diwali Color?

Certainly. Orange is a relative to red when it comes to festivity but still bolder and more vibrant. The Orange Bridal Kurta Set proves this point as it features densely embroidered floral zardozi patterns on the fabric of the dress. The orange looks especially great in indoor lighting and therefore is a perfect choice in case you plan on taking many pictures during Diwali with your friends and relatives. Orange dresses combine easily with gold jewellery.

Is it Possible to Have Festive Diwali With Soft Tones Like Pink?

Yes, it is possible provided there is enough amount of embroidery and detailing. For instance, Mauve Pink Bridal Kurta Set is a great example to illustrate how rich detailing such as zardozi and thread work is capable of giving festive appearance even to the softest colors. Thus, it is a perfect choice for those who seek an alternative to red without wearing a loud one. Moreover, it can go both ways whether you wish to wear jewelry and dupatta to add volume or not.

Is It Possible to Wear Grey for Diwali?

Grey might seem an unconventional choice for Diwali, however, it will turn out better than it might appear in advance. If we consider Grey Heavy Suit for Women, its festive and contemporary appearance will become the best illustration of the above-stated idea. Namely, there is a lot of panelled sequin and kora work added to a straight-fit kurta which makes the suit festive yet reserved. This feature makes it perfect for Diwali evening celebrations of the dinner-party type.

Does Green Work as an Alternative Colour for Diwali?

Yes, it definitely does! Especially sage and muted shades of green have gained popularity over the past few seasons for Diwali wear. The Sage Green Festive Suit is decorated with the same embroidery work as traditional festive shades; however, the shade being calm, it looks refreshing as opposed to the other festive shades of red and orange that you may have worn previously. The added advantage is that it works well in the light and at the night time on the same day where you will be performing puja and having a festive dinner.

How to Pick a Non-Red Shade for Diwali Wearing Purpose?

Consider the mood that you want your outfit to create. Orange and mustard shades have a festive and warm effect, while mauve pink can add softness to the festival outfit, grey gives a contemporary look while sage green can fall somewhere in the middle. Moreover, think about the occasion where you will be wearing this outfit. For instance, orange is best photographed at an evening function while mustard and sage green suit both kinds of occasions equally well.

Conclusion

Red is always going to be a safe color to go with at Diwali, but there are now other colors available too that make your celebration even more special. The selection of such a color from Gulbhahar’s Collection depends largely on how much boldness you are looking for in the room as well as how you intend to celebrate the festival.
