9 Holi Outfit Ideas To Wear To All Kinds Of Holi Parties In 2025

The quintessential Holi outfit idea, you cannot go wrong with an all-white ensemble. A white chikankari kurta and bottoms is what you'll see most celebs sporting in their Holi photos. This outfit is good if you're a fan of playing with colours, want the most dramatic after pictures, and also great if you're attending a Holi party for the company and the thandai! Add a pair of flats and big jhumkas (although we would suggest opting out of these if you're planning to play) and you're set! 

This Deeepika Padukone-Balam Pichkari-inspired outfit is comfortable and stylish. It gives you enough breathing space to survive the summer sun and give you enough room to move—whether it is to play or to dance your heart out. Pair it up with flats and small hoops and you have the perfect casual party look. 

If you're anything like us, you're only at a Holi Party for the Bollywood music, the thandai and the maal pua and would announce to the world that you'll scream bloody murder if anyone tries to get near you with a plate of colours. So it makes sense that we pull out a bright cotton saree for our Holi party outfit and lounge in one corner of the party with plates of food getting replenished, and the drink glass never being empty. 

No matter what the occasion, you cannot go wrong with a dress as a Holi party outfit idea. You can pick from flowy long ones, or summery short ones. Pair it up with a pair of flats or wedges and you have a summer day outfit ready. If you're not playing with colours, we would suggest picking a bright print to match the vibe of the day.   

Perfect for a night or day party, if you're planning to spend the night before Holi at a party then this is the only outfit you need. A great dupatta will make every ethnic outfit stand out, and it is only logical to get a bold and bright one for Holi. Also, you can swap this as your post colour-playing fit for when you clean up and wanna look put together.

This might seem like an odd suggestion, but if you think about it, it is kind of perfect kind outfit for Holi. With activewear you get better absorption, you'll be free to run around, really have a go at your friends, and you'll be comfortable the whole day. We do think we've cracked the perfect outfit for the ones who take their Holi play seriously. 

Yes, there is always that one friend who doesn't wanna play with colours, runs from the sight of water balloons and is on a mission to act like that stingy cousin you despise hanging out with when its the day of Holi. For them, their have their priorities clear: plant that on stroke of gulaal  on their cheeks and click pictures for their 'Holi dump'. If that's your scene too, the Holi outfit has to slay so go for a white button down, a chic skort and cute gladiators to tie the look together.

Glow up posting scrubbing all that colour, dirt and what not from your skin and hair on Holi is a real thing. So, when you want to dress to impress for your Holi afters and look simple but stunning, opt for a breezy white kaftan. Not only is it comfortable and perfect for lounging in but looks effortlessly sophisticated. Tie your hair in a bun, slip into a nice pair of platforms and keep the accessorising minimal.

Nothing looks more stunning than a white anarkali on Holi. Its the quintessential Bollywood celeb look which always hits the mark for its simplicity. If you wish to fully tap into the traditional look for your Holi party outfit, go for a pair of juttis, jhiumkas, a bun with gajra for the hair and a tiny bindi to amplify the look's ethnic factor.
