Before we get started, I just want to wish all my Machans and Mama Ponnunga an advance ‘Iniya Pongal Nal Valthukal’. Pongal is finally around the corner, and we can hardly put a hold on ourselves from getting into the vibe. Most of us have already started looking for the perfect Pongal look. However, some of us are still on the fence and have not decided on what to get for this Pongal. If you are one of them, then Macha you are at the right place because this article has been drafted to help you get that look.
While Pongal is known for a lot of stuff, it is the girls who steal the show all the time. I mean, have you looked at them!? They dress in the most cutest Davanis and accessorize their look with Maliga Poo and that’s it. After which, they look like angels on earth.
But look at us men, many of us have no clue how to dress properly for the occasion. I have seen a couple of guys wearing western clothes on Pongal, to which I got one thing to ask, Why would you?
The best outfit for Pongal for men would always be Veshti Sattai, and there is nothing that even comes close to this look, and you can quote me on that. However, most of us have no clue as to how to team a Veshti with a Sattai. But before we hop on to that, I just want to say that it is ok to wear a velcro veshti. But I still would advise you to go through some videos on youtube to perfect the art pulling off a Veshti. It is an art that you should not only learn but also pass on to others.
For starters, just make sure that you get a perfect fit. Getting one that does not fit you properly may take away all the charm, so be aware of that.
With that basic detail addressed, let’s explore in depth on the art of pulling off the perfect Pongal look.
