Diwali is one of my favorite times of the year. The streets are filled with people shopping for decorations, outfits, and ingredients to make sweets, the neighborhood is lit up with lanterns and twinkling lights while entrances to the house are adorned with rangoli and diyas – what a sight!
What if we said that you can capture all of this in a pair of eyeglasses? Diwali 2021 should be about going all out – whether it’s the outfit, accessories, or sweets! We missed the whole shebang for Diwali in 2020 (thank you covid-19) so we say double up on the celebrations this year, and do so in style!
Add a fun twist to your Diwali ensembles this year by matching your eyeglasses with your favorite things about this festival of lights. Here’s a quick guide on how to up your style quotient this Diwali based on the little things that make it special.
Diwali Fave #1 – Sweet Treats
The one thing all of us look forward to during Diwali is the scrumptious array of mithai from laddoos to jalebis and from kaju katli to halwa. So how do we channel these delicious sweets into fabulous eyeglasses? You’re in for a treat! Pick your favorite mithai, draw up some color inspo and match it to your eyeglasses.

Diwali Fave #2 – Fireworks
Sparklers, crackers, atom bombs, rockets, chakri, and fountain – the list goes on but these by far are some of the most popular Diwali fireworks. However, over the years we’ve learned about the conflict and environmental damage these fireworks contribute towards. We suggest more eco-friendly light displays like lighting diyas and being a firecracker yourself! Opt for luxe metallics like gold, rose gold, and silver to sparkle this Diwali.

Diwali Fave #3 – Rangoli
Rangoli is an art form that is created using colored powders or various flower petals. It often adorns the entrances or thresholds of a house and is made every morning. The beautiful colors are usually saved for festivals and auspicious days. During Diwali, rangolis are created to welcome Goddess Laxmi to bring luck and prosperity. Rangoli competitions are also popular during Diwali especially in schools and even the workplace. It brings everyone together to create a work of art and bond with each other. So when it comes to eyeglass frames inspired by rangoli, think fuchsia, lime green, cobalt blue, sunny yellow, and if you’re bold enough, dual-tone hues!

Diwali Fave #4 – Diyas
No Diwali celebration is complete without diyas – it is after all the festival of lights! Deepavali means “row of lights” and the lighting of the diyas is believed to drive away the evil that lurks in the darkness. That golden hue of flickering lights all around the house and entrance creates a warmth that can only be felt, words just cannot do it justice. So as you light up your home this Diwali, light up your ensembles with a little glint.

Diwali Fave #5 – Card Party
As tradition states, playing dice on the day of Diwali is auspicious and brings prosperity to whoever plays it on this day. But over the years, a game of dice evolved into a game of cards and so did the infamous card parties we enjoy today. Remember you need to get your A-game for this party so perfect vision with a pair of color-coordinated frames and anti-glare lenses will go a long way in winning!
