How to Dress for Diwali Using Pieces Already in Your Closet

Never thought you could wear a pantsuit to a Diwali celebration? Neither did we — until influencer Komal Pandey schooled us on styling the piece in not one but five festive ways.

We particularly love this effortless ensemble by influencer Roshni Bhatia, where she has layered a printed crop top over a humble white shirt and matching trousers. Throw in some statement accessories, et voila.

Influencer Masoom Minawala’s unique Diwali outfit is not just stunning, but it’s also genius. The attention-grabbing ensemble is a surefire way to make a statement without compromising on comfort. You can replace the traditional saree used in the look with a long scarf.

Transform your cami dress into a Diwali outfit by teaming it up with a statement choker. You can also add a printed scarf or statement earrings for an extra festive touch.

Leave it to Sonam Kapoor to nail Diwali dressing simply by teaming a relaxed shirtdress with statement jewelry. Alternatively, you can achieve the look by pairing your favorite shirt with a matching or contrast pleated skirt and a statement belt to complete the look.

If you’re wondering whether there is a hack to Diwali dressing, then this one’s for you. Grab the most stunning maxi skirt you own – embellished, printed, embroidered – and pair it with a complementing crop top. Complete the look with dramatic earrings or a statement handbag.
