It’s that cute time of the year again when you get together with your family to celebrate the ever-loving bond between brothers and sisters. Whether you actually love your brother to death or sometimes want to kill them (who doesn’t?), Raksha Bandhan is a special fun-filled day filled with love, food, and overall good vibes. Traditions related to Raksha Bandhan differ across India. While some tie a rakhi only around their brother’s wrist, some follow rituals that also include sisters, in-laws, and even friends who have become siblings over the years.
As you prepare for this wonderful occasion, it only makes sense to be dressed in elegant outfits to match the joyful vibe of the festival. From timeless ethnic ensembles to chic casual looks, you can pick from a wide range of options depending on the celebration you have planned. The only non-negotiable is looking and feeling your best to celebrate this day of sibling bonds.
