Durga Puja fashion guide for men: Outfit suggestions for festival
Durga Puja is a major Hindu festival celebrated across India, especially in West Bengal. Bengalis look forward to marking the festival with much fervor and start planning and shopping for it months ahead of the celebration. When it comes to fashion, women have plenty of options. But what about men? Here are five outfit suggestions for men to up their Durga Puja fashion game.
On 'Shoshthi,' start with white casual shirt, dark pants
On Shoshthi, start with a cool outfit. A white casual shirt, preferably with some embroidery work, and dark pants or trousers work best for this day. Complement the look by wearing white sneakers/shoes. You can replace white with other light colors if you are not comfortable being the Jeetendra among your friends. Take care of your hairstyle and trim your mustache and beard.
On 'Saptami,' go for casual yet retro look
On Saptami, you can opt for a dark-colored shirt that has some embroidery or floral print. This will give you a retro yet smart look. With this, black, brown, or dark gray colored pants will go pretty well. You can also try a dark sea green floral shirt or a dark peacock blue shirt. You can wear a cap to change your look completely.
On 'Ashtami,' you got to go traditional way
Ashtami is when you have to stick to the traditional look. So, go for a skin-tight pyjama and a slim kurta. Complete the look with a Nehru coat. You can also do away with the coat and go for a designed kurta instead. White pyjama with a lavender-colored linen kurta and blue Nehru coat is also an awesome pairing. Try this combination this year.
Last 2 days of Durga Puja
On Navami, take a break from traditional wear. You can go for a stylish T-shirt and jeans look. Don a pair of sunglasses and cool shoes, and you are good to go. Dashami, the end of the carnival, is when our moods are a bit off, but we have to be at our fashionable best. Stun everyone and wear a dhoti-kurta. Happy Durga Puja!
