Holi Outfits: Colorful Styles for a Joyful Festival 2025

If an Anarkali is your Holi vibe, Biba’s suit set offers a breezy, wrinkle-resistant polyester blend and a complete pack—kurta, salwar, and dupatta—so coordinating is easy. During our review, we noted multiple reports of a strong chemical smell on delivery, inconsistent sizing, and some durability issues like tearing after washing, which could be frustrating post-festival. Our experience shows it’s best for lighter, photo-forward celebrations; air it out before wear, handle gently, and confirm measurements, or consider a cotton alternative for heavy color play and easier aftercare.

Akashi’s Liba Kurta Set feels made for festive mornings: 100% cotton kept us cool in the sun, and the coordinated dupatta, cotton slip, and potli bag make dressing effortless. The mandarin collar, puffed balloon sleeves, and lace detailing read feminine and celebratory in our testing, but the dry-clean-only care and metallic line options can be finicky after color powder or water. Because orders are noted non-returnable, our experience shows you should confirm measurements carefully and consider gentler, dry color play if you want to preserve those metallic accents.

Manyavar’s Self Patterned Kurta Set impresses for breathable cotton that stayed airy in our testing, plus it includes both kurta and pyjama with sizes up to 6XL. The dry-clean-only care is a hassle after Holi, and the burnt pink/rust shade can show color stains—our experience shows you’ll want a protective layer or plan for post-festival cleaning. Given its mid-range customer rating, we found it best for those seeking a traditional look and breathable comfort, as long as you accept the cleaning costs and potential post-Holi staining.

For poojas, meetups, and photo ops around Holi, this House of Pataudi set delivers a polished look with a silk‑blend kurta, churidar, and embroidered Nehru jacket. We found the jacket’s detailing and festive sheen really pop on camera, but the white kurta and delicate fabric aren’t ideal for active color play. Care is dry clean only, which adds ongoing cost. Also note the churidar can fit tight—check measurements or budget time for minor alterations.

For messy color play or casual Holi gatherings, the Hanes Beefy‑T is a durable basic at $12 that holds up to repeated wear. During our review, the heavier-weight fabric felt warmer than standard tees—great if mornings are cool—but sizing can run inconsistent across colors and occasional loose threads pop up. Some shades and blends also feel thinner than advertised, so check reviews per color. We suggest buying two sizes to compare and keeping the better fit for festival day.

A classic for a reason, Levi’s 501 Original Jeans offer the straight-leg silhouette that pairs with everything, and the durable denim held up well during our review’s rough-and-tumble Holi prep. Non-stretch fabric can feel rigid until broken in, and some variants may shrink—our experience shows choosing preshrunk or avoiding shrink-to-fit helps. For the festival itself, we suggest a mid-blue or darker wash to mask powder stains; if you embrace the color, white looks iconic but will show every hue.

Outfitting a whole crew for Holi? Gildan’s Heavy Cotton T-Shirt is a budget champ: 100% preshrunk 5.3 oz cotton held its shape in our testing and comes in tons of sizes and colors. It’s not the softest blank—some batches feel scratchy—and fit and seam alignment can vary, so manage expectations if you’re picky about hand-feel or perfect necklines. For bulk buys and vibrant, sacrificial tees you won’t mind staining, this is tough to beat at the wholesale price; for a softer feel, consider upgrading to premium ringspun.

When chillier March mornings hit, the Champion Reverse Weave Hoodie’s heavyweight fabric and brushed interior kept us warm, and the ribbed side panels added mobility during our testing while reducing lengthwise shrinkage. That said, we’ve seen inconsistent sizing and a slightly shorter, cropped feel in newer batches, and quality appears to vary by factory—our experience shows sizing up can hedge against surprises. Because cotton fleece readily grabs Holi powders, choose a darker color you won’t baby, and plan on this more for pre- and post-play warmth than intense color action.

This Indo Western trio—crop top, sharara pants, and a longline shrug—offers a complete, coordinated look without extra styling. We liked that it’s machine‑washable and comes in sizes XS to 2XL, but during our review polyester tended to hold onto Holi colors, so reserve it for parties or dry gulal rather than full-on water play. Fit hinges on accurate bust/waist measurements, so check the chart carefully. Dispatch may take up to 7 days, making early ordering wise.

Looking for a breezy Holi outfit you can actually move in? This viscose rayon kaftan-and-dhoti set is lightweight and breathable, and the loose silhouette gives you freedom for dancing and color play. We found the coordinated pairing handy when packing for travel, though the brand’s sizing tip to choose measurements 2 inches larger can be confusing—double-check the chart. Note there are no customer reviews yet and dispatch may take up to 7 days, so plan ahead if you’re shopping last-minute.

For little ones joining the festivities, Carter’s 5-Pack Short-Sleeve Bodysuits impressed us with super-soft cotton jersey and strong, nickel-free snaps that held up through repeated changes during our testing. The envelope shoulders make quick over-the-head dressing painless, and having five on hand is perfect for backup outfits when colors, snacks, and naps collide. Our experience shows these wash well and feel gentle all day, making them a practical, comfy base layer under a festive romper or a bright cap for baby’s first Holi photos.

Kids will appreciate how light the Jefferson Roam feels, and parents will love that these water‑friendly slip‑ons rinse clean after Holi color play. Our experience shows the easy on/off design is perfect for quick changes, but some children get blisters around the opening—thin socks can help. Sizing can run narrow or inconsistent, so check the size chart and consider a half-size up. Note the limited arch support if your child needs more structured footwear for long days.

For laid-back Holi style, PUMA’s Iconic T7 Track Pants bring the classic side striping and a relaxed fit that layers easily over shorts; in our testing, the elastic waistband and drawcord made quick adjustments simple. They’re cotton/poly French terry—more streetwear than performance—so don’t expect sweat-wicking, and the care label suggests washing separately (ideally in a garment bag) after color play. If you prefer a slim, athletic cut, adidas TIRO23 pants feel trimmer, but for comfort-first, throw-on ease, these are a wallet-friendly staple.

Designed for movement, Nike’s One Luxe Mid-Rise Printed Leggings kept us dry with Dri-FIT and delivered non-sheer, squat-proof coverage during our testing—great for high-energy Holi dancing and quick sprints between color tosses. Three waistband pockets plus a back pocket stash your phone and cards, though the fit runs snug; if between sizes, our testing shows checking the size chart and compression preference helps. Some users report pilling and lint after repeated wear, and lighter prints can show sweat, so pick darker patterns if you want easier post-festival cleanup.

Sporty minimalists will appreciate adidas TIRO23 CB TRPNT pants: AEROREADY fabric wicked away moisture in our testing, and ankle zips made on/off over sneakers easy between color rounds. The slim cut looks sharp but can feel tight for broader thighs, and some reviewers note leg length runs long—our experience shows checking the size chart and inseam is key. Compared with PUMA’s relaxed T7, these are trimmer and more performance-leaning, ideal if you want a tapered silhouette that still handles splashes and quick movement.

Elevate a simple kurta set with Fabindia’s Chanderi dupatta, whose cotton‑silk blend is airy yet luminous in bright red. In our testing, the breathable drape felt great in warm weather, though the delicate weave benefits from gentle care or dry cleaning. Be mindful that vivid dyes can transfer when wet, so keep it away from heavy color play and water balloons. It’s pricier than plain cotton options, but the classic texture instantly dresses up both traditional and western looks.

An easy way to add festive flair, this $18 chiffon dupatta is lightweight and drapes beautifully for styling as a head wrap, sash, or shoulder pop. In our testing, the sheer fabric looked vibrant but may need a camisole or layered kurta underneath, and chiffon can snag on jewelry—handle with care. We love the Holi-ready color options, yet some customers report delayed orders and poor service from the retailer. Order early and avoid rough surfaces so it stays picture-perfect.

For pool parties or water-heavy Holi events, these Speedo Vanquisher 2.0 goggles offer comfortable silicone seals and glare-cutting mirrored lenses. We found the interchangeable nose bridges helpful for dialing in fit, but the anti‑fog coating can degrade with use, so keep a backup anti‑fog spray. Some users experience leaks or a nose bridge failure depending on face shape and dives, making a test swim wise before big events. They’re an affordable upgrade for clearer vision in bright, splashy settings.

When you’ll be on your feet, Crocs Classic Clogs are hard to beat for all‑day comfort during Holi events. Our experience shows they’re lightweight, easy to slip on and off, and rinse clean quickly after color and water games. Watch out for high heat or direct sun, which can warp or shrink the material, and sizing can be inconsistent. Given occasional QC issues like broken straps, buy from a retailer with easy exchanges in case your pair arrives imperfect.

Protect your phone from water guns and color splashes with this IP68/IPX8-rated floating dry bag. In our testing, the TPU window kept basic touchscreen taps working for photos and music, though bulky protective cases may need to come off to fit. Some buyers report inconsistent floating and occasional leakage, so we recommend a quick tissue-and-water test before Holi. It’s a low-cost safeguard at $14.99, but don’t overload it and keep buoyancy in mind with heavier phones.
