Save Money And Follow These 6 Creative Ways To Repurpose Your Old Closet For Last Minute Diwali Outfits
Don't go Diwali shopping just yet! Look inside your closet for some inspiration first.
Diwali comes with a lot of sweets, love, and light, with the added stress of serving a look. While many of us shop for the occasion most years, there comes a time when one doesn’t have the time or the energy to buy something which would only be worn once or twice. Revamping your closet for Diwali wear can be an exciting way to refresh your wardrobe without buying new outfits.
With a bit of creativity, you can turn forgotten pieces into stylish, festive attire that’s perfect for the season. From layering techniques to mixing traditional and contemporary styles, these six tips will help you repurpose your closet for Diwali, saving both time and money while ensuring a unique, personalised look for the celebrations!
1. Add That Gold Detailing On Your Outfit!
Gold detailing can make any outfit look regal and festive instantly. If you have any plain white or black or any coloured suit, pairing it with a dupatta with gold detailing would elevate your outfit, making it look subtle and chic. You can further add more jhumkas to create great detailing.
2. Silk/ Banarasi Dupatta To The Rescue
The earlier point was for people who like to dress minimally. But if you are a maximalist queen, then one last-minute fit can be an addition to your mom/relative’s heavy silk/Banarasi dupatta. Even if your base is plain, this dupatta would add the much-needed drama and festiveness to your outfit making you shine bright on a budget!
3. Re-Vamp Your Saree
Stealing your mother’s saree is the oldest trick in the books. But if you really want to add a modern touch, then a technique of adding a corset blouse would work wonders. Corsets are so in and can make an old, beautiful saree look modern and chic.
4. Add A Blazer
Diwali comes at the time of winter which gives us the perfect trick to revamp your sarees stylishly. If you love looking modest, then adding a jacket to your saree or even your suit would elevate your look and save you from shivering the entire night!
5. Pull Out That Co-Ord Set!
We all have co-ord sets in our closet because they are versatile and comfortable. Taking out a co-ord set and pairing it up with some jewellery can take you a long way!
6. Style It In A Different Way!
Repeating the same outfit might be boring for many of us, even though it’s not a sin. But if you do feel like that, then styling can change your entire outfit. The styling game goes a long way and gives your outfit a new identity. Actor Alia Bhatt recently showed us this by repeating her Mehendi outfit and giving it a new and fresh look.
