Diwali 2020: How millennials are planning to ace fashion game amid pandemic
New Delhi [India], November 12,2020 (ANI): As the festival of lights, Diwali, is just around the corner, millennials are looking forward to getting dressed up in their best ensemble on the auspicious occasion. However, amid the coronavirus pandemic, social gatherings and the family meetings would be less, but people are still engaging in the festivities - and adapting to the new normal - by hosting virtual zoom parties, and small get together.
And at such occasions, millennials are planning to ace their fashion game for these special get-togethers by experimenting with their clothing style.
Simran Paul, a 21 years old student, has planned her festival celebration differently this year amid the pandemic. "This Diwali is a different one, and because we cannot meet our family members like we used to, we have planned a Netflix party. We would go online and watch a movie together on a website which allows people to see movies remotely while it synchronizes the playback."
"It has a chatbox, so we can also chat while watching the movie which makes us feel together. There are also going to be lots of food and sweets, and playing cards, all while we are all dolled up of course!" she added.
Talking about her ensemble for the festival, Simran said, "I will be wearing a grey saree with floral print and accessorise with metallic silver jewellery."
"As we all know, this year's Diwali will be a little different. Meeting fewer people and no parties. For being minimalistic, I will be wearing an Indo western dress (long skirt, with a bright orange blouse) and accessorizing it with a gold belt and orange earrings which I am in love with. How can I forget my perfectly paired mask" said 25-year-old Rhea Sakhuja, who is pursuing her studies in Canada.
Surya Suri, Director of a premium made-in-India clothing brand shared about how the fashion trends are evolving, and how the millennials have moved beyond the traditional clothing.
