#Title Accessorise to mesmerise: A men’s guide to Puja season glamour The puja season is signified by bright colours and traditional patterns. Ethnic wear ticks all the boxes when it comes to that and it should be your go-to for this festive season. If you think ethnic wear is not for you, this article will most definitely inspire you to change teams.

Go for cotton

As we are still a few months away from winter, cotton will be your ideal material. They are soft, breezy, breathable, and most importantly fashionable. The weather is going to be breezy late October so you will not have to worry about those pesky sweat patches. Even if they do turn up, cotton allows a lot of air to pass through so they will go away as fast as they come.

Fashion is nothing without comfort and cotton is the strongest possible base to build your outfit on in that regard.

Go loud or go home

While subtle colours may be better suited for other festive seasons, Puja season lets you go all out. So, do not hesitate to go for the bright yellows, red, golden or pink. Throw some patterns in there. Or better yet, go to your nearest fabric store and get something funky and add your own unique touch to it. No one will stop you!

Put your exploration hat on

By this, we mean that if you are looking to switch things up, this Puja season is the right time for you to do that. Pair your panjabi with a bright uttariya. Perhaps, you can dip your toes (quite literally) into some nagras or mules and lose the loafers and sandals.

Accessorise like there is no tomorrow

Carrying on the trend of letting yourself loose this season, we urge you to do the same while picking out your accessories. Pearl necklaces for men are all the rage this year and this is your cue to give it a go. Then there are beaded bracelets and rings which will go perfectly with the ethnic vibe you want to pull off. Basically, nothing will be considered “too much” this season so there is no need to hesitate.

Add a bomb fragrance

Top your outfit off with a nice perfume. It is a good idea to move away from your standard musky scent in favour of something with a fruitier and more citrusy note. Something that will do justice to the whole theme you are going with and help you truly stand out in the crowd.
