Card parties darling! They aren’t just any parties you know! They’re the main Diwali events! Like the actual runway event. The sequins shine a little brighter. The heels get a little higher. And the competition? Fierce. Not just at the poker table… but in the fashion game too! You’re not just walking into a house party. You’re walking into your Karan Johar slow-mo entrance moment. And Westside? Oh, they’ve got exactly what you need to serve looks, bring the glam, and slay the gift game while you’re at it.
What’s the vibe for a Diwali card party?
Think glamour meets good luck charm. It’s not the time for shy neutrals, darling! It’s your cue to sparkle. Bold jewel tones. Shimmery fabrics. Flowy silhouettes. Co-ords. Sequinned kurtas… This is the night to bring the filmy energy. Ladies, picture yourself walking in with a soft breeze hitting your hair (even though it’s clearly the AC). And your outfit twinkling like the fairy lights around you. Gentlemen, a sharp kurta with a little sheen. Add a stole and a killer watch? Game. Set. Match.
Okay but… what exactly should I wear?
Two words, love: Effortless drama. If you’re going desi. A sequinned kurta set or saree with soft glam jewellery. Gold. Metallic. Or even a touch of emerald for contrast. Just perfection! If you’re going Indo-western. A chic co-ord set with statement earrings. Soft waves. And a clutch that says “I’m here to win”. For the gents. A silk kurta with ivory pants. Maybe layered with a textured jacket. Or a dark-coloured bandh gala if you want to go full King Khan at a Diwali bash mode. Basically, dress like you know someone will post your photo with “fit of the night” in the caption!
Can I wear something fusion instead of traditional?
Absolutely yes babe! Thinking of channelling your inner Alia Bhatt at a festive brunch? Fusion is your best friend. Pair a sequinned crop top with palazzos. Or throw on a structured blazer over a lehenga skirt. It’s a power move, really. For the gents. A smart printed kurta with tailored trousers. And loafers is a flex that says, “I came to play, but I also came to slay.”
What about accessories?
Think less temple jewellery museum and more statement moment. A pair of oversized jhumkas. A sleek choker. Or a chunky kada. Yes, that one piece that ties the whole look together. Men, a classic watch or a pocket square in a fun print adds that “hero enters in slow-mo” finish!
And what about gifts? What do I take to a card party?
Now love, you could take the usual box of soan papdi… But we’re not doing that this year! Westside has you covered with chic home décor pieces. Think elegant babe, not like a last-minute thought. A beautiful vase or festive thali set? Host approved. Scented candles or a skincare hamper? Elegant and Instagrammable. A well-chosen planter or table linen? Trust me, they’ll remember it and you.
Walk in like it’s your big Bollywood debut. Leave a trail of shimmer. Sass. And good vibes. This Diwali, Westside has everything you need. From party-perfect fits to host-worthy gifts.
