5 Ways to Wear Kurtis

Call it a traditional Indian garment or a classy tunic with an Indian flavour, a stylish kurti has always been a hit in the world of fashion. In the midst of flowing blousons, breezy oversized tops, and slinky tanks, kurtis stand out for their ability to infuse outfits with an ethnic vibe. You can get them in contemporary styles and in designs featuring exquisite ethnic handwork. Flattering on all body types, kurtis are a favourite among students, working professionals, and homemakers. Find out how you can style them for different occasions and to suit your taste.

Glam up your evenings with short kurtis

Give your contemporary outfit a desi touch in minutes by teaming a pair of jeggings or jeans with a printed kurti. Accessorise with a set of multicoloured beaded bangles and a pair of pumps. You can try a more laid-back look too with a pair-up of a tie-dyed kurti and cut-off denim shorts. Choose a kurti in a bright colour so that it stands out; something along the lines of pink and orange would look fantastic. You can add a dash of youthful appeal with statement accessories like a cuff bracelet and finish with wedges. Leave your hair open and wrap a stylish dupatta or scarf around your neck. The same outfit can be changed around a bit with a short white skirt instead of the cut-offs. If you want to dress it up more, you can wear calf-length boots and wrap a snood around your head. A shrug or a cropped denim jacket can bring a more contemporary look to your fashionable ensemble.

Spruce up your everyday look with knee-length kurtis

Transform your day-to-day look into one that's classy and stylish with casual kurtis that reach just above your knees. You can pair them with skinny jeans. Add a refreshing twist to your office attire with a sleek white kurti featuring embroidered cuffs and pin tucks on the chest. Team it up with a pair of smart slim-fitting trousers and drape a multi-coloured crepe dupatta around your neck in a cowl style. Complete your look with chic wedges and dainty stud earrings. For the weekend, look your ethnic best by pairing a flaming red embroidered kurti with leggings in a contrasting colour. Look radiant by accessorising with a silver layered necklace and plenty of colourful bangles. If there's a party that you want to make a splash at, opt for a flowing flared kurti in bright pinks and blues. You can pair it with leggings that scrunch up at the ankles and a pair of strappy heels.

Look divine in elegant asymmetrical kurtis

Patterned sleeves, brocade plackets, stand collars, net overlays—there are many elegant kurtis with asymmetrical hemlines that you can go for when you really want to impress. Go for an A-line kurti that hugs your curves and adds more to your height. Pick from neutral tones for classy evening parties and bright reds, hot pinks, and vibrant greens for special occasions like bridal showers and weddings. Beautiful mojaris, wedge heels, peep toes, and high heeled sandals would look amazing with your outfit. If you're petite and want to look taller, you can create an illusion of height with kurtis featuring vertical stripes. You can wear them with churidars or with leggings that sit just above your ankles. Low-cut stilettos and a dupatta draped over one shoulder will complete the look fabulously. Embroidered kurtis are another must-have in your gorgeous wardrobe. To really accentuate that hemline, pick a kurti with an embroidered hemline in a contrasting colour. Paint your nails in a matching shade and swipe on some lipstick before heading out.

Discover flower power!

Floral prints and overlays instantly turn an ordinary outfit into something that's beautifully feminine and refreshing. Women who are tall and slim can opt for prints that are a little large but not overwhelmingly so. Women who are curvy can try kurtis with smaller prints. If you want to trim a generous middle or an ample bust, choose kurtis with prints focused away from these areas. Wear them with slim-fit jeans and with patialas in complementing colours. You can finish your looks with a variety of hairstyles like topknot, half updos, and plaits. Use sparkling hair accessories to add to the feminine ensembles.

Be the epitome of grace in traditional kurtis

When there's a grand celebration on the cards, it's time to pull out all stops. Long-sleeve kurtis in satin and brocade are exactly what you need to make sure you shine. Choose designs that have delicate bead work, sequins, and net details. Embroidered kurtis are a crowd-puller in all seasons. You can wear them with eye-catching gold and silver jewellery and with beaded juttis.

Kurtis are a household name when it comes to dressing right for all occasions. All you need are bottoms to show them off and accessories that play up their colours and fine details. These stylish creations leave the room wide open for personalisation. You can wear them with contrasting coloured bottoms or with printed bottoms. You could add a dupatta or slip on a denim jacket. Myntra's vast range of kurtis will have you eager to experiment with them all.
