It's quite a task picking your outfit for Holi parties -- you don't want to wear shabby old clothes, nor do you want to wear your favourite clothes, which may not survive the shower of colours.

This Holi, with a little help from the Bollywood celebrities, we can help you decide what you can wear.

Take those old white shorts out of your closet and put them to some good use. Pair them up with a red top like Deepika Padukone, and you're set.

Boys can wear blue denims and a shirt with a bandana to add some style to your look.
