When you put your ears to Diwali in Dubai, what you daydream about is lights, laughter, shopping in packed malls, and non-stop family gatherings where you must dress to impress. But the problem occurs when you’re a plus size, because finding the perfect festive wear that makes you feel fashionable and at ease is difficult. Well, there’s no more waiting.
Here’s where Big Boyz Collection jumps in with the kind of shirts that fit your figure, as well as your party vibe. In this blog, I've put together some real-life fashion advice to help you style plus-size shirts for Diwali parties in Dubai.
Choose Vibrant Colors
Diwali is the holiday all about light and lovely colors, so your outfit should be the same way. Navy or black may look like the "safe" bet, but this is the one time of year that you should pull out all the stops and go full-on gem tones such as rich maroons, emerald greens, royal blues, and mustard yellows.
These colors give you a celebratory glow, as well as you’ll get a perfect physique and a cherry on top, an amazing look! A Diwali party and you’re wearing a ruby-red top and dark pants, hence you’ll be in the spotlight.
Well, the metallic shades are safe bets as well. Bold and trendy or sparkly shirts can give an instant makeover from casual to "Diwali-ready."
Embrace Embellishments
You might think embellishments are only for women’s wear, but men’s festive shirts with color hues or some shiny piece of fabric can look incredibly stylish. At Big Boyz Collection, I’ve seen how a little detail like a premium fabric + color + crisp collar can add just the right festive touch without going over.
Choose ornaments that create proportions in balance and give an elegant feel to your attire. For an occasional affair, choose fine details in gold or silver (if possible) that glisten in warm Diwali lights.
Pair with Elegant Bottoms
Your top can be the showstopper, but your lower half can screw up the entire outfit. So, do not just settle for jeans. Try something different, like pairing it with trousers, churidar pants, or even a plain pair of straight-cut linen pants in simple colors.
For example, an embroidered teal shirt with ivory trousers makes a celebratory look without overpowering.
Dubai celebrations are all about blending traditional and modern, so don't hesitate to try out different fusions like pairing a kurta-style shirt with skinny-fit pants.
It means the ideal bottoms set your look and flatter your figure, making your body look slimmer.
Add a Statement Dupatta or Shawl
Here's a styling tip: a dupatta or a shawl can completely make or break your Diwali look. But if you drape a dupatta or shawl over your shoulders, it gives a touch of elegance to your overall appearance.
Choose fabrics like silk, jacquard, or velvet with light embroidery to keep things festive. A plain maroon shirt instantly feels more Diwali-appropriate when paired with a gold-bordered shawl.
Plus, in Dubai’s slightly cooler evenings during October, it doubles as a practical accessory.
Layer with a Festive Jacket
A Nehru jacket, bandh gala, or even a bespoke blazer in brocade (fabric) can instantly lend a touch of levishness to your plus-size shirt. Jackets slim down your physique, but the layering creates the party effect.
But the point here is to select contrasting colors. If your wardrobe has that one beige Nehru jacket to cover a navy shirt, or a jewel-colored velvet jacket that goes with a pastel-colored shirt is just perfect for the party.
Accessorize Thoughtfully
Well, that’s true, accessories take a backseat when it comes to men's fashion, but considering Diwali as the most important festival, they're your finishing touches.
So you can opt for a watch, a pocket square, or cufflinks to complement your shirt. Even a beaded bracelet or ring can do it for you.
If you're wearing a shawl, top it with a chic brooch or pin to keep it in place. Little touches like this make for conversation pieces at parties, as people commonly comment on the effort you put into styling to stand out.
Opt for Structured Cuts
One of the golden rules of plus-size fashion is to never run before shapeless clothes. Instead, try garments that fit well with a top that perfectly settles over your shoulders, waist slightly nipped in, and the correct length to create a balanced look.
For tops on Diwali, opt for crisp collars, lively colors, or a geometrical design shirt for your comfort zone. Avoid shirts that are too loose or too tight. The collection for plus-size has fashionable cuts that suit bulky frames, so you are as stylish as you can be without compromising on comfort.
Play with Fabrics
The fabric you use makes a huge difference. Daytime functions are best done in light cotton mixes, while silk, jacquard, or velvet performs exceptionally well at night parties. Shiny or textured fabric reflects light in an amazing way, creating the best outfit and wow pictures.
If you tend to run hot, comfortable fabrics like cotton-silk blends are a blessing. More fabrics like brocade are just love for superly luxurious for more elegant Diwali dinners.
Choose Better Footwear
Dubai Diwali parties mean moving here and there, from one room to another, house to house, hotel to hotel, and banquet hall to room. Therefore, your shoes must also be comfortable yet stylish.
For big-sized men, there are many designer shoes with a slightly raised heel that offer balance and add a little height. Tan, brown, or black colors are very common, and they offer the best contrast to your outfit, and some match most party shirts as well. Remember, shoes can make or break your look. People mostly notice your shoes first more than you think.
Minimal but Glam Makeup
Yes, men need to groom too! Here, I didn’t mean that you need to wear a whole face, just a little bit of effort. If you feel that your skin is tired, a sprinkle of beard oil, and maybe a sheer BB cream can make you glow for hours. As you know, many BB cream comes with SPF 50 and can work as sun protection.
As with females, a bit of highlighter on the cheekbones works magic in Diwali lighting. Take it as your attempt to join the glitter without overdoing it. It's not about covering up, but it's about enhancing your natural features so you look tidy in all Insta-worthy photos.
