Pohela Boishakh Outfit Ideas for Kids

The red-and-white theme of Pohela Boishakh is iconic — but it's easy to overdo it. A subtle approach reads more elegant.

Girls 2–6

Off-white frock with a red dupatta or a red flower in the hair. Pair with red Mary Janes or simple white sandals.

Girls 6–14

White churidar-kameez with a red border, or an off-white salwar set with traditional red alpana print on the dupatta.

Boys 2–14

White panjabi with a red trim on the placket and cuffs. Pyjama in pure white. A red-and-white check half-jacket for slightly cool mornings.

Babies 0–2

A simple white onesie with a red knit cardigan over. Don't overdress — Boishakh in Dhaka is warm.
