Day 1: Grey – Balance & Transformation

• For Women: Use graphite grey on a light dupatta and wear it with a bold lehenga skirt—grey balances brighter tones beautifully.
• For Men: A steel grey kurta with neon or red footwear can be a modern twist that stands out.
• Pair grey outfits with bold, colorful jewelry to create contrast.

Day 2: Orange – Warmth & Enthusiasm

• Orange sets the festive energy right from the start. It’s bold, bright, and perfect for dancing through the night.
• For Women: Re-dye an old beige kurta into a glowing orange Anarkali. Add a mirror-work dupatta for instant Garba vibes.
• For Men: Got a dull cream kurta? Dye it into a burnt orange and pair it with a simple white pyjama. Instant refresh!
• After dyeing, dip your outfit in DyFix solution for 15-20 minutes. It keeps the orange looking sharp and prevents bleeding during washes.

Day 3: White – Peace & Purity (With a Twist)

• Plain white is often avoided during festivals, but here’s the trick: don’t wear it plain. Instead, use white as a canvas for creativity.
• For Women: Recreate an old plain saree by dyeing the pallu and border in bold contrast colors—Navy blue, pink, or periwinkle.

• Red often fades. Using DyFix right after dyeing ensures your red stays bold for the entire festival (and beyond).

Day 5: Blue – Wisdom & Calm

• For Women: Dye a light cotton saree into royal blue and add silver accessories. You’ll look regal and comfortable.

Day 7: Green – Growth & Harmony

• For Women: Dye an old light saree into a bottle green, and wear it with gold bangles.
• For Men: A faded olive green kurta can be reborn into a rich festive green—pair it with white pyjamas for balance.

• For Men: A Peacock Green kurta with white or beige dhoti pants, layered with a short printed Nehru jacket. Pair it with mojris or juttis and a colorful dupatta or stole for that energetic, dandiya-ready look.
