Dressing for
Lohri
ਲੋਹੜੀ ਲਈ
Lohri is Punjab's winter bonfire festival — an evening around the fire with dhol, dancing, and rewri and peanuts passed around — and the outfit needs to keep you warm as much as look festive.
Rich, warm colours — maroon, mustard, deep green — suit the evening and the firelight well. Since Lohri is an outdoor, evening celebration, a suit that layers easily under a shawl or jacket, and that you can dance around the fire in, works better than something delicate.
Suits here ship ready to wear, or made to your measurements at our unit in Hoshiarpur.
Dressing for the bonfire
Rich, warm colours
Maroon, mustard and deep green suit the evening firelight and the festive mood.
Plan to layer
Lohri is celebrated outdoors after dark — pick a suit that layers easily under a shawl or jacket.
Room to dance around the fire
A palazzo suit or looser silhouette holds up better through an evening of dhol and dancing than something fitted.
A Paranda for the evening
A traditional Punjabi Paranda is a small festive touch that pairs naturally with a Lohri outfit.

Frequently asked questions
What should I wear to a Lohri celebration?
Rich, warm colours like maroon, mustard or deep green work well — and since Lohri is celebrated outdoors after dark, a suit that layers easily under a shawl is worth choosing.
Is Lohri the same as Vaisakhi?
No — Lohri is a winter bonfire festival in January, while Vaisakhi is the spring harvest festival in April. Both are major Punjabi celebrations but mark different times of year.
Can I get a matching Paranda with my Lohri outfit?
Yes — we carry traditional Punjabi Parandas separately, and can suggest one to match your suit.
Do you ship Lohri orders internationally in time for January?
Yes, we ship to Canada, the UK, the USA and beyond — message us early in December to be safe for a mid-January Lohri celebration.
