Here are some handy tips for the perfect Sao Joao look

CHOOSE COMFORT

There will be a lot of splish-splash, jumping in the water and a lot of rain (as per weather forecast). So, wear clothes which are comfortable and easy to dry.

BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL

This is one of the many Goan celebrations where you can go all out and be jazziest best – dressing in floral prints and bright colours.

TRENDY HEADGEARS

Women and men wear Kopels (headgears) made of flowers. Don’t know where to find flowers? Ask the local florists to make you one.

SMART FOOTWEAR

Since it’s expected to rain, the place will be wet and slippery, and so its advisable to wear sandals or flip-flops.

DRESSES AND ACCESSORIES

Women can choose to wear bright floral dresses to skirts or even short pants. Accessorise with flower garlands, bracelets and earrings.
