Kurta #101: How To Wear A Kurta
The quintessential Indian staple that every girl should own and invest is obviously a kurta! I am pretty sure most of you already own a basic kurta. But if you don’t I am here to guide you through it! Let us first break a few myths:
- Kurtas need to be well fit: I say, no ways. It’s the season of anti-fit, loose and flowy silhouettes. You can go ahead and buy a kurta that’s not your size. Anti-fit is the new cool.
- Kurtas are supposed to be worn ethnically: Believe me, whenever I wear my kurta as a dress or a top to my ripped denim, my mother really questions my fashion sense. Of course, I know where she’s coming from. But, a kurta can be worn as a dress, top and tunic!
- You cannot wear kurtas to a party: Of course, you can! Fashion is very subjective and you cannot limit yourself into wearing something only to a particular place. You can definitely pull off a kurta at a club, dinner date or simply a night out with your girlfriends.
How To Style:
- Wear your kurta as a dress, team it up with a pair of classic white sneakers and you’re ready looking uber cool.
- Ever thought of wearing a basic kurta with a pair of slim pants? Ditch your salwars and patiyalas this time and wear your kurta with slim pants and layer it up with a crisp blazer that will make the perfect office look!
- Wear your kurta as a tunic dress and drape a scarf around it for a casual trendy look.
- Going for a party? Team up your kurta with a leather jacket and a fine pair of black boots for the ultimate biker chic look!
- Wear your kurta as a high-low top and team it up with a pair of denim shorts. This is the perfect street-style look that will work best when out for shopping.
