Holi Tips For a Fun & Fuss-Free Spirit!

• Opt for a padded bralette when wearing white or lightweight fabrics
• Wear a lot (and then some more sunscreen) throughout. Your skin will thank you for it!
• Don’t forget to go for non-slip soles because powder colours and impromptu dance steps can get tricky!
• Choose quick-dry clothing so post-Holi cleanup isn’t a nightmare
• And most importantly, stay safe and have a blast!
