Festival season is a call of happiness, sweets, get-togethers, decorations, gratitude, pretty outfits and of course a vacation. Everything connects with each other so much that when we think about it-it almost feels like a synonym for the word “festival”.

Festivals are basically about getting ready with all the pretty outfits and receiving and giving blessings for the upcoming year. You definitely want to look prettiest while doing the minimal on these beautiful occasions. For that, you must get your wardrobe ready with the essentials. As you know, if you are not well prepared beforehand, you can get into a lot of last-minute trouble, and that could be a hurdle to enjoying the festive season seamlessly. The main mishaps are mostly related to your outfits, so below we have mentioned the top 10 must-have wardrobe items for any festival, this will not only save you but will also uplift your styling game.

1. Saree: The timeless, one-of-a-kind, 6-yard of elegance. Sarees.Yes, sarees! Whether you're travelling and packing for your long vacation at home, or if you are at home celebrating, a traditional Indian saree is something that cannot be missed out. As there are abundant things you have to take care of, and you might forget to carry one while planning for other fun activities for the festival.
   
   So, preparing the traditional saree beforehand is a must if you are there to enhance your whole outfit in just one piece of clothing.
   
   
2. Kurta: The list has to include a classic plain but little embroidered kurta, a kurta is so versatile that it can go with anything, and that’s why you must have it for that quirky traditional festive look.
   
   You can pair it up with jeans, leggings, pants, skirt. Basically, with anything depending upon the mood in which you want to be. To complete the overall look and give it a festive vibe add jhumkas and Kada, and you will be good to go.
   
   

3. Palazzo: Preparing your bottom wears is a must. Because even at the time of trying on the outfits, we usually try the upper wear and neglect the bottom ones, and that's why the issue of them getting misplaced or mismanaged is high.
   
   You must need something relaxing, especially in which you can easily dance your heart out, during get-togethers with your relatives. Pairing palazzo with a blouse and a jacket seems such an indo-western yet comfy look.
   
   

4. Earrings, bangles (jewellery): Accessories are something that is hardest to find when you need them the earliest and the most. Deciding which one to wear with which outfit priorly can be done quickly. And if you're not someone who likes to plan everything because it might get too much at a time, then you can simply opt for multicoloured or oxidised earrings, and bangles. It can save up your time and energy.

5. Long skirt: There are many essentials in the list which if mixed and matched with a long skirt can result in such a flawless outfit, styling it with a bandhani saree as a draped dupatta, is one of the great styling options. And therefore, a long skirt has to be in your wardrobe, especially during the festive season.
   
   Even if you will not be wearing it for the main day of the festival, you can give it a try on the adjacent days of the main day.

6. Vibrant dupatta: A traditional kalamkari, bandhani dupatta is all you need to uplift your plain kurta, it can alleviate any look of yours so effortlessly, you can have a multicoloured one, which would go with every colour of clothing and will save a lot of your cash.
