In our quest to find 2-in-1 in everything, we have somehow managed to merge two different celebrations together as well. February 14th is a case in point. For the last few years, we have been celebrating Pahela Falgun and Valentine’s Day on the same date. Whether you are celebrating with your significant other or with friends and family, this day is all about expressing your love and having a good time.
With Pahela Falgun and Valentine’s Day coinciding, you might be wondering what to wear to make the most of this special occasion. The answer is simple — you can wear traditional and colourful clothes that reflect the cultural significance of Falgun and the theme of love.
Women can choose to wear a sari or a salwar kameez in a bright and bold colour, such as red or pink, which symbolises love and passion. Pair it with statement flower jewellery and matching shoes to create a look that is both traditional and fashionable. Bright-coloured jumpsuits can also be an option for women who want to try something different. A nice pair of block heels can be the perfect footwear to complete the look.
Men can opt for a panjabi or a kurta in a bright and cheerful colour, like yellow or green, which symbolises the arrival of spring. Pair it with jeans and sneakers for a modern and stylish look.
No matter how you plan to celebrate this special day, make sure to wear something that reflects the essence of the day. Show your love and appreciation for your loved ones, embrace the cultural significance of Pahela Falgun, and let your fashion sense do the talking!
So, go ahead, and make this a day to remember!
