What to Wear for Holi: Protecting Your Streetwear While Celebrating
By Xoratic
Holi calls for clothing you don't mind getting a little messy — here's how to still look good while playing safe with colour and water.
Old or Budget-Friendly Pieces Only
Save your premium embroidered or faux leather jackets for another day — Holi colours and water can stain or damage delicate fabrics permanently.
Light-Coloured Basics Show Colour Best
If you want colours to show up vividly in photos, white or light-coloured cotton pieces work better than dark basics.
Cotton Over Synthetic for Comfort
Cotton fleece breathes better and feels more comfortable when wet compared to heavier poly-blend or embroidered jackets.
Skip Anything You'd Be Upset to Ruin
A general rule: if you'd be disappointed by stains, don't wear it to Holi — keep your best streetwear pieces for after the celebrations.
Plan a Fresh Outfit for After
Have a clean change of clothes ready — a fresh hoodie or jacket to switch into once the colour play is done.
