End of Ramazan brings the joyous moments of Eid and celebrations. The three-day-long festivities include dressing up, meeting your friends and family, feasting on special meals, collecting as well as giving out Eidi, and much much more.

For girls, preparing for Eid is all about the perfect outfit, matching accessories, and opting for the ideal hairstyle.

Choosing a dress type, dress colour, appropriate accessories etc becomes a challenge when one is busy in life. Which is why, here I have jotted down for you, girls, some trends to opt for this Eid.

Colours to wear

As the Eid days are expected to be hot, one has to be very careful while choosing their dress colour. Yellow, lemon, white, pink, light green, and blue are the colours to opt for this summer.

However, choosing an appropriate combination of colours could work for you as well.

Dress type

Both long and short length kurtas are the go-to fashion this Eid. Styling kurtas with light jewellery and hairstyles would suffice the perfect look for your Eid day.

If you do not feel like going for a kurta, you could sport the frock style with modish cuts and ravishing colours.

No one knows the importance of ‘every detail matters’ than a girl who is choosing for her Eid outfit. This year, sleeve details are very important to ponder over, and one has to be very careful while choosing sleeves!

Trouser type

There are many types of trousers that make one look perfect i.e. cigarette trousers, pent type trousers, ribboned straight-cut trousers, embroidered trousers, and bell-bottom trousers etc.

However, while choosing any type of trousers, one has to be selective about the cut or type matching with the shirt or not.

Hairstyling

On Eid day, you have to be very keen while choosing a hairstyle as it helps to enhance your overall look. Your choice of hairstyle should complement the dress and accessories you choose too. Simple styles could help you achieve the perfect minimalist look for this festive occasion: straight hair with a twist from the front, loose curls, and wavy hair would do the deed. As it is hard to manage open hair for the whole day, you can tie them up in a simple side bun or braid too.

Accessories

Eid is considered incomplete without some bangles and mehndi, so while choosing your accessories for Eid, traditional bangles must top the list.

With your traditional ornamentals in one hand, a graceful bracelet would be perfect for the other. Adding more jewellery such as elegant jhumkis or long earrings would add the ‘oomph’ to your stunning look.  However, if you wish to wear something around your neck, then I’d suggest you avoid styling yourself with long earrings.

Last but not least, shoes are important too. Block heels, wedges, and flats, which come in open styles are ‘in’ this Eid. These are all the tricks that will add the oomph factor to your look this Eid; opt them with great aesthetic, and slay.
