Kurti for women

Product Overview

Indian women look glistening in their traditional dresses and that attracts women across the world. The wraps and covers which they wear have amazing appeal and fabulous artwork, which makes Indian dresses hard to resist.

But while having a close discussion with my friends in India, I witnessed that the dressing style has taken a change rather it has taken a leap to retain both ethnicity and modern fashion.

We have seen the rise in a number of new dresses that have both ethnic look and modern appeal and one such is the kurti. Yes, it is the new trend which has an Indianized western look. Women of today have started to embrace it in their daily lives. Whether it is their workplace or a day trip to Goa or may be attending a tea-party, more kurti designs  are easily visible.

Why do Indian women love to wear Kurtis?

Kurta has been in the fashion line for the past few decades and it is one of the best choices in the women's wardrobe. I was a little puzzled to find out some weird reason for different kurti designs becoming popular these days.

Let’s read on some exquisite ideas of Kurti being popular :- 

A dress that is universally popular:- When we browse loads of designer kurti online, it might make us amaze, why kurti and not salwar, if we like being ethnic. But Indian culture is liberal and conservative at the same time, we accept food, ideas, traditions and dresses whole-heartedly. So keeping this mind Kurti exhibits both traits of being ethnic and westernised.

Where comfort meets fashion:- While I was searching for some popular kurti online in India, I found that all designers have kept one thing in mind while weaving their creations and it is definitely comfort. Yes, Kurtis are very comfortable to wear and not tight or crouched like those body hugging dresses. At the same time, you get a wide range of styles to choose that are suitable for different occasions.

A pocket-friendly dress:- Kurtis are not heavy on the pocket. A comfy daily wear kurti may be available at the online stores at Rs. 200 and it can range up to Rs. 5000 for a silk sequined party-wear. So you have kurtis for every budget.

Pair up with any accessories:- One of the popular reasons that I have come across while discussing with a few Indian friends of mine is that Kurti is one such outfit that is easy to accessorise. Depending on the sense of style, the cut of your kurti and the occasion you like to wear, it is possible to pair it with junk jewellery, may be gold or silver. 

Types of Kurtis:- 

1. Anarkali Kurti

Inspired by the Mughal era, Anarkali Kurtis are fitted on the bust and flare out towards the hem, creating a frock-like silhouette. They are perfect for festive occasions and weddings. Pair them with churidars and statement earrings for a classic look.

2. Straight Cut Kurti

Straight-cut Kurtis is a staple in every wardrobe, offering a sleek and elegant look. They are versatile and can be paired with jeans, leggings, or palazzos. Accessorise with minimal jewellery for a sophisticated look.

3. Asymmetrical Kurti

With no defined hemline, asymmetrical Kurtis are trendy. They are ideal for parties and casual gatherings. Pair them with fitted pants and statement footwear for a contemporary look.

4. Kaftan Style Kurti

Known for their comfort, Kaftan Kurtis are loose and breezy, often featuring a drawstring at the waist. They are perfect for a relaxed day out or a beach holiday. Pair them with sandals and boho accessories for a laid-back look.

5. Shirt Collar Kurti

Blending the formal shirt style with traditional kurtis, this type comes with a collar and often features button-down fronts. It’s perfect for office wear and can be paired with jeans or trousers.

6. Jacket Style Kurti

This style comes with an attached or detachable jacket, adding a layer of sophistication. They are suitable for both casual and formal events. Pair them with palazzos or straight pants for a refined look.

7. Cape Style Kurti

Cape-style kurtis incorporate a cape-like feature, either attached to the shoulders or as an additional layer over the kurti. This style adds a dramatic flair and is perfect for making a fashion statement. The cape can be of varying lengths and is often adorned with intricate designs or embellishments. These kurtis are great for festive occasions or fashion-forward events and can be paired with straight-cut pants or skirts for a chic, modern look.

8. Floor Length/Gown Style Kurti

Elegant and regal, these Kurtis are similar to evening gowns. They are perfect for formal events and weddings. Pair them with minimal jewellery and heels for a sophisticated look.

9. Chikankari Kurti

Known for their delicate embroidery, Chikankari Kurtis are a symbol of elegance. They are perfect for traditional events. Pair them with light-coloured bottoms and ethnic jewellery.

10. Peplum Kurti

Peplum kurtis feature a flared ruffle attached at the waist, creating a playful and trendy silhouette. This style adds a touch of Western fashion to the traditional kurta and is perfect for those who love a fusion look. Peplum kurtis are great for casual outings, parties, or even office wear when styled appropriately. They pair well with slim-fit pants or jeggings, balancing the flared bottom.

CONCLUSION 

Each kurti style in our list offers a unique way to express your style and preferences. From the playful vibrancy of tie-dye to the elegant sophistication of Chikankari, there’s a kurti for every occasion, mood, and personality. Embrace the diversity of these styles and find the perfect kurti to add to your wardrobe. Happy styling!
