Dhanteras and Diwali 2025: Taksh Men’s Guide to the Perfect Outfit

The festive season is when the spotlight naturally shifts to tradition, elegance, and a touch of personal style. This year, Dhanteras and Diwali celebrations are leaning towards a more refined ethnic wardrobe, looks that not only honor tradition but also photograph beautifully under warm festive lighting.

At Taksh Men, we’ve been dressing gentlemen for countless festive evenings, and for 2025, our stylists have put together a guide on what makes the perfect outfit for two of the biggest celebrations of the year.

1. Dhanteras — Radiance Meets Tradition

The Mood:
Dhanteras is the festival of prosperity and auspicious beginnings. Yellow has long been considered a color of good fortune in Indian tradition, it’s associated with positivity, clarity, and warmth.

The Outfit Worth Checking Out:
Yellow Classic Structured Kurta Set
This kurta set blends the richness of tradition with the finesse of modern tailoring. The structured fit gives a regal presence, making it perfect for family pujas, festive dinners, or even pre-Diwali get-togethers. Pair it with tan leather mojaris for a daytime Dhanteras glow, or deep brown juttis for an evening twist.

Stylist Tip: Keep accessories minimal, a slim gold kada or a classic watch will allow the kurta’s structure and color to stand out.

2. Diwali — Subtle Sophistication

The Mood:
Diwali night is about celebration, sparkle, and togetherness. While many go for heavy embroidery, a refined printed kurta can actually stand out for its subtle sophistication, especially for evening gatherings where the focus is on warmth and conversation.

The Outfit Worth Checking Out:
Natural Geometric Print Kurta Set
This set strikes a balance between understated and festive. The geometric patterns add personality without overpowering your look, making it versatile for house parties or card nights. Pair it with deep burgundy loafers for a contemporary twist, or black patent juttis for a more classic appeal.

Stylist Tip: Layer with a Nehru jacket if you want to elevate the look for a more formal Diwali dinner.

Final Thought

Festive dressing isn’t about simply wearing bright colors or heavy embroidery, it’s about feeling confident and comfortable while honoring the occasion. Whether you gravitate towards the radiant energy of yellow on Dhanteras or the subtle sophistication of prints on Diwali, the right outfit can make the moment even more memorable.
