For those of you who want to dress simple, go for a patterned yellow panjabi. The addition of simple green strips tones down the brightness of the yellow and may allow you to don a sober look. Not to mention, the addition of yellow closed toed sandals and of course a classic brown leather strapped watch only complements the yellow and green of your panjabi. 

Want to take it up a notch? Wear a beige coatee over a light blue or white panjabi. Do not forget to add a pocket square as this small accessory allows your entire look to stand out, and adds the extra bit of panache to your look. 

You can also wear a dark blue panjabi along and a black Mujib coat with a paisley printed yellow pocket square. Confidently carry yourself in such outfits as you walk through the festivities of the day. 

For all of you flamboyant men, there is a fantastic outfit choice: bright coloured pants! You might be surprised to hear this, but as mentioned earlier, this time of the month marks the blending of macedoine of colours. 

Wear a pair of burgundy pants with a light blue fatua or green coloured pants along with a navy blue or white fatua. 

Bright coloured pants go best with western outfits and a fatua is the closest attire we have to a T-shirt. Our objective at the end of the day is to look stylish; hence a simple garment saves you the embarrassment of looking like a colourful canvas.

With winter bidding its last goodbyes, it is only right to see it off well with the adding of some of your light winter wear in your outfit. Wearing a navy blue/maroon half-sleeve cardigan along with a white panjabi, and brown leather strapped watch and shoes gives a touch of cold and warmth that Falgun represents. 

Change your look a bit and take off that sweater of yours and add a nicely worked vibrant and colourful shawl. You will look neat and sophisticated, being true to the Bengali month's traditions.

Falgun revolves around colours such as yellow, green and brown or any shade of colour close to the aforementioned. We should try to dress up keeping in mind these colours, even if the smallest of accessory contains them. 

There is no universal law stating so, but the idea is to don vibrant colours as we celebrate life and what it teaches us through the moving out of the dullness of winter and embracing the romanticism of spring and bracing ourselves for the harshness of the scorching heat which awaits us.
