Kurtis - the next statement wear

Kurtas that are worn by women are called as Kurtis and are a slightly shorter version of the original kurta, extending up to the mid thigh. This traditional item of clothing is worn mostly in the regions of India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. Modern day kurtis are generally given a contemporary edge and are designed with funky prints and bold cuts for a figure-hugging look and are trendy enough to be paired with jeans. In fact, Kurtis are one of the most commonly worn attires by women for casual days and weekday wear because of their simplistic style and the high degree of comfort that they offer.

Ideally, kurtis are made of several materials that include silk, cotton fabric, or a mix of linen and cotton for the warmer months. In the colder regions of course, Kurtis are traditionally made of wool and khadi.

Casual Kurtis generally feature block prints or simple designs and come with a button closure that is set against a placket. Some kurtis are designed with different types of collars and closures. They are also designed with solid colors, with stripes, checks, polka-prints, floral prints and the occasional geometric print. The standard design of the kurti features a simple cut with or without decorative design elements and the sleeves retain a straight silhouette. Sleeve length varies from half sleeve, three-fourth sleeve, full sleeve or sleeveless. The sides of the kurti are generally provided with long slits for easy movement and comfort. The grand variety is designed with zari work and alluring metal buttons with more intricate designs.

The versatility of kurtis lets the modern woman wear them to office, college, outings, festive occasions and for ethnic functions as well. In fact, they are a classy, elegant and ethnic alternative to the traditional stock variety of western formals. Another advantage of kurtis is that they can be teamed with flowy patiala pants or with colorful leggings. Either ways, they look fabulous and add feminine flair to whoever wears it. It’s also their inherent ethnic resonance and timeless appeal that make it perfect to be worn by the young and old alike.
