Festival of colors and sharing love, Holi is round the corner. This is a special time to remember your loved ones and show how they filled colors in your life. Splashing colours in Holi is not only a way to rejoice yourself but also a promise to be truthful towards your family, friends and sweethearts. But the big task which is faced by many people is what to wear for Holi. So, as you are here, we will be sharing some ideas that will definitely help you to select your fabric on the occasion of Holi.

Clothes on Holi you can Wear

It is highly recommended to wear full sleeves clothes on Holi as this will save your skin from sunburn. If you are wearing a cotton full sleeve dress on Holi, than it will be more comfortable for you. Clothes that clench your body or are see through are never a good option to wear as they can make the situation awkward for you. Apart from white color, you can also choose to wear any bright color for celebration. Make sure, these festive clothes are not very expensive as you might ruin them after playing Holi.

Females should avoid donning one-piece dress or long dress as you will be very active throughout the festival and would not be able to carry your dresses properly. It is recommended to wear loose shirts and comfortable lower, or if you want to go for ethnic then must try a full sleeve suit (it should not be a see-through) with churidar. This will be more comfortable for you to wear in comparison to Patiala or salwar. For males, you must try full sleeves kurtas and pajamas or full sleeves shirt with trousers.
 
Choosing Right Holi Footwear

Now here comes what type of footwear you need to carry during celebrating Holi. The best thing to wear is floaters as it will be more comfortable for you to run and walk rather than wearing slippers or shoes (they will be filled up with waters and will not be easy to carry after that).

A big no for heels! It will be difficult for you to handle and you will also get your favourite pair of heel spoiled. Not only this but it could end up by getting sprain in your ankle and as a result, you will miss out all Holi fun.
 
Now after we have discussed what to wear for Holi, below we will learn how to remove Holi colours from nails and skin.

How to remove colors from nails

If you are someone who is extra possessive for your nails, just chillax as the below tricks will help you remove Holi colors from nails within a day or two.

  • Lemon: It is rich in Vitamin and also acidic in nature. Rub your nails with lemon or put few drops on lemon juice in a bowl filled with water and dip your nails inside it. This will instantly help you to remove Holi colors from nails. 
  • Vinegar: This is another way to remove Holi colors from nails. Soak your nails in the bowl half filled with vinegar for a few minutes. It will help taking out tough colors.
  • Nail Polish: If you want to keep your nails away from colors, apply two coats of nail polish one night before Holi. This will protect your nails from getting colored.
  • Cold Water: Many people will not believe that hot water makes the color stick more to your nails. Hence, it is advisable to wash your hands carefully with cold water. This will lessen the color of your nails.
  • Manicure and Pedicure: This is one of the best ways to deal with colors. This will remove nail colors and will also make them appealing and healthy.

 
How to remove colours from Skin:

  • Foundations: Applying foundation on face will help you to keep yourself away from harmful colours.
  • Sunscreen: Applying sunscreen will make an extra layer on your skin. This will help you to protect from UV rays and colours.
  • Moisturization: By applying moisturiser on your body, you will keep skin hydrated and the colours will also get removed easily. In case you don’t have moisturiser, you can apply coconut oil.
  • Toner: Using the toner will maintain the pH level of the skin. It will also help in removing the dust, dirt and colour from the skin.
  • Vaseline: This is the best way to remove the colours from your lips. Apply a sufficient amount of vaseline on your lips and rub it. Now take a cotton ball and remove the vaseline. Apply this process for 4-5 times.  
  • Aloe vera: Aloe vera helps in hydrating the skin. This will also soothe your skin if you have been allergic to colour.

This Holi, let us spread the colour of love, joy, happiness and laughter. Wish you all a happy and safe Holi!
