The festive colors to sport this Janmashtami are ‐ yellow, considered a favorite of Lord Krishna’s and orange, a color held auspicious by Hindu devotees. These two colors are not only vivid, bright and colorful but also have been a favorite with many designers who showed their collections on various fashion weeks this season.
Janmashtami Style Ideas ‐ How to Look Fabulous in Yellow and Orange
Tips to channel the yellow and orange trend on Janmashtami
- Opt for Indian outfits like anarkalis, salwar suits, sarees or lehengas that have at least a shade of yellow or orange in them, if not entirely.
- Go for the contrast effect, the combination of yellow and orange looks beautiful as we saw in the photos above. This can be emulated easily. Wear an orange blouse with a yellow saree or perhaps a yellow anarkali with an orange dupatta and churidar. You can always mix and match clothing items from your existing wardrobe.
- You can also choose an Indo Western look, if that is what you are more comfortable with, by wearing a smart top with a Rajasthani or Haryanvi style ghagra in yellow or orange. A dhoti pant in these colors will also look good. You can also opt for a pretty kurti top in these hues and wear regular denims with it.
- Another interesting idea on the Indo Western line is downplaying a lehenga (especially If you feel it is too heavy for the occasion) by wearing it with a simpler blouse or even a western style top. You can also skip the dupatta.
- Elements of yellow and orange can also be incorporated by wearing a bindi or accessories like bangles in these colors.
