Of course there is. The little changes you make to your Diwali clothing can prevent huge accidents.

For Diwali 2011 use the following fashion tips for women to be decked up to perfection but safely so.

Tips To Wear Safe Clothes For Diwali:

• It is obviously not possible for everyone to wear western clothes on Diwali just because they are safer. There is the question of customs and traditions. Also wearing the same old jeans and t-shirts for Diwali takes the fun out of it. But you can be dressed in the festive mood and yet be safe if you choose your Diwali clothing carefully.

• If you are wearing a salwar kameez then be safe by not carry a duppatta while bursting crackers. The duppatta is loose stretch of cloth that will hang about loosely and dangerously close to ground level where all the fire works are.

• Some women knot up the duppatta behind then or around their chest but that is not very safe either because if it catches fire you won't be able to pull it off immediately. It is best to just leave it off before go to burst crackers or light diyas.

• Another option that you have is to wear jeans or slim leggings instead of loose salwar like patiala. The more your clothes hang about you the more chances there are of them catching fire.

• Sarees are not exactly safe clothes for Diwali but its is part of tradition to wear them. The best thing to do in that case is to pleat the saree neaten and stuff one end of the pallu around your waist.

• While wearing a saree for Diwali always wrap it a little higher than you normally do. This to avoid any stray sparks catching the lower hem of your saree. You can also wear heels or raised platforms to avoid this scenarios.

• It is customary to wear heavy sarees with a lot of zari work and embroidery on them for Diwali but who said that there are no gorgeous sarees in fire resistant material? Instead of super nets, chiffon, gorgette and silk, go for jute, cotton, blended silk cottons, etc., that do not catch fire as quickly.

• The Ankarkali style of wearing salwar kameez and blouses is in these days. The full sleeves made of net are being seen everywhere. Never wear full sleeves or tight sleeves for Diwali because it doubles the chances of your sleeves catching fire.

So for Diwali 2011 follow these safety tips to look good with safe clothes.
