Eid day for a child is long: the morning prayer, visits to relatives, lunch, photos and often an evening dinner. The outfit has to look good in the morning and still be comfortable by night. Here are five colour directions, each with a piece from our boys kurta shalwar collection.

1. White for the Eid prayer

White is the classic choice for Eid and Jummah. A plain white set such as the White Kurta Shalwar in wash n wear keeps it simple, while the White Embroidered Kurta Shalwar adds detail for photos. White or gold khussa finishes the look.

2. Soft blue for daytime visits

Light blues look fresh in daylight. The Sky Blue Embroidered Kameez Shalwar in cotton lawn chambray suits Eid morning prayers and daytime dawats, paired with white or beige khussa.

3. Sage and pista green

Green is a gentle festive colour that is not too loud. The Sage Green Embroidered Kurta Shalwar has embroidery around the yoke, and brown peshawari chappals go well with it.

4. Mustard for a festive look

If you want him to stand out in the family photo, mustard does it. The Mustard Yellow Embroidered Kurta Shalwar works for Eid as well as mehndi functions, with tan or brown khussa.

5. Black for the evening

For an Eid dinner, black is the most formal option. The Black Embroidered Kameez Shalwar in cotton lawn pairs with black or brown khussa.

Two practical tips

For a dressier Eid look, a 3 piece waistcoat suit is another option.
