Kurtis for Different Occasions & How to Pair Them

Kurtis for Different Occasions & How to Pair Them

Hi guys,

Today I am talking about kurtis, how versatile kurtis are and there is one kurti for every occasion.

When it comes to the well-defined ‘Indian wear’, the first thing that comes to our mind while walking towards the closet is Kurti. This fashion trend never goes off and one of the best smart casual wear. In fact, Kurtis are so versatile that you can wear them for college, office, family events, day-out, party wear and literally every way you prefer.

Kurtis can be made adaptable with various styles like short or medium length, from various materials of cloth and the embroidery as well. thus, the exclusive designs, elaborate patterns, various hues and appealing shades blended with western as well as Indian styles has made Kurti so popular as a fashion trend. There are various reason to love them, different ways to pair them up.

I came across this site ‘Rangriti’ and they have such gorgeous kurtis. There is one for each occasion from work to more casual wear to more dressy ethnic. I have picked a few here and highlighted which can be worn for what occasion.

1. Yellow Short Kurti

Now this one is so colorful! I love the yellow and pink combination and the pom pom bead tie-ups. This is more of a casual wear. You can team it with denims or a nice, long, flared skirt. If going for a casual brunch, then with denims and if for some wedding related function like a mehendi, this would look perfect with a flared skirt in pink.

2. Indigo Blue mid length kurti

This will work with a white churidar for work and even a white skirt/palazzos for a more boho look. Team it with feather/beads/colorful accessories for a casual boho chic look.

3. Mustard yellow long kurti

Now this one can be a little dressy. Team it with a black churidar and maybe even a heavy dull gold work dupatta and you can wear it for a wedding.

There are so many ways to wear a kurti and one can dress it up or dress it down on teaming with correct bottoms and accessories. I love kurtis and have so many different styles of them in my wardrobe.

I love online shopping and the variety of kurtis available online these days is amazing. Also at very affordable prices. I would highly recommend to buy kurtis online.

What is your favourite way to wear a kurti? Do you go boho chic with kurtis? Let me know some of your ideas in the comments below.

The Fashion Trend – Kurti

The Fashion Trend – Kurti

By Sanchita

Introduction –

Hello everyone,

Online Shopping is in full swing these days, and with the amount of discounts and sales, it also turns out to be very lucrative!

When it comes to the well-defined ‘Indian wear’, the first thing that comes to our mind while walking towards the closet is Kurti. This fashion trend never goes off and one of the best smart casual wear. In fact, Kurtis are so versatile that you can wear them for college, office, family events, day-out, party wear and literally every way you prefer.

Kurtis can be made adaptable with various styles like short or medium length, from various materials of cloth and the embroidery as well. thus, the exclusive designs, elaborate patterns, various hues and appealing shades blended with western as well as Indian styles has made Kurti so popular as a fashion trend. There are various reason to love them, different ways to pair them up and the hacks and style quotients – which we are going to elaborate in this post. Read on to know more about it.

Why women love wearing Kurti?

• The first and foremost reason is the comfort factor. Imagine wearing an exquisite outfit but it literally takes your life away because you are not comfortable in it. There things will never happen to a Kurti because they are the most comfortable outfit that it kept in your closet. When comfort and fashion is blended in an outfit – nothing can beat the beauty of it.

• Like I have mentioned before – Kurti can be worn to innumerable occasions and thus you can simply style it the way you want.

• Accessories – this is another advantage in which you can wear a single Kurti several times and each time you can accessorize it and make it look new. While going traditionally Indian, pair it up with bindi and bangles. For the casual look, use a choker or a simple pendant, for some layering, use a scarf and you can also add a layer of traditional jacket on top. Kurt can also be paired up with waistcoats for office and formal wear.

• Kurtis are pocket friendly. This is one of the most important reason. It is literally not possible to shell out big bucks on designer clothes every time and for casual and funky wear, opt for Kurti readily available in the marketplace. Various Kurtis in different shades, styles and cut are available both online and offline.

• Kurtis can be paired up with various ways and styles which we are going to discuss later in the post. This is why Kurtis are worn by every girl out there and are so much loved and accepted.

Style Trend and Fashion Quotient on Kurti –

Regular Style Kurti – This is probably the most common style of Kurti available in the market. It has the Chinese collar and also known as the princess cut Kurti. It is generally paired up with contrast leggings, treggings, churidar, skinny jeans or jeggings.

Anarkali Kurti – Anarkali Kurtis are the long flowing ones which reaches up to the ankle or knee as per the style and occasion. It is a perfect pick if you have a body shape of Hourglass, Pear, Rectangle and Apple. The styles are extremely ethnic and soothing.

A-line Kurti – these kind of Kurtis are extremely popular for trendy casual wear.The cut reaches to the calf or ankle and it has flare from the waist for making ‘A’ shaped panel. These are best for Apple shaped body and Pear shaped body type.

Trail cut Kurti – Trail cut Kurtis are extremely easy to carry. They have a C-cuts on both the sides and the material should be flattering like georgette, chiffon, silk and not cotton.

Dhoti Style – This is one of the newest trend in Kurti where the typical Kurti is cut in a contemporary style and it is so comfortable to wear in summer and monsoon. In this pattern, the lower portion of the material is cut in drape style and flatters feminine curves so graciously. This style can be worn by all body shapes.

Short Kurti – if you want something casual, opt for short Kurti which looks very similar to tops and tunics. This is a perfect casual wear and has a blend of Indo-western touch to it. Thus, you can pair it up with jeggings, jeans or even colored pants as well.

Gown Length Kurti – this kind of Kurtis has a rich feel of Indian traditional look and has been worn by various celebrities on the red carpet in India and abroad. It is very similar to Anarkali ones but reaches up to the floor length. A basic leggings would suffice to complete the royal look with detailed jewelry.

Side Slit Kurti – One of the hottest trend of 2016 is the side slit Kurti. These Kurtis are basically long and straight in cut with lengthy slit from the waist. The length of the Kurti reaches up to the knee or beyond and you have to pair it up to with an elaborate leggings or pants. They are extremely fancy and easy to carry off.

Shirt Kurti – The Shirt Kurti is very similar to the shirt dress. The collar of the Kurti resembles of a formal shirt. This style is a fusion of Indian and western trend and a great choice for the office wardrobe. You can also accessorize it with belts and jackets.

High Low Kurti – Just like we drool over the High-low dress, the High-low Kurti is also in great demand. In this type of Kurti, the front hem is shorter compared to the back. The style adds so much grace and elegance to the outfit and best paired with treggings, jeggings, and skinny jeans.

Kaftan Style – There are days when we prefer ultra-casual and comfortable outfits yet wants to look pretty and sophisticated. The Kaftan inspired Kurtis are the best possible options and can be paired up with treggings, jeggings, skinny jeans and even full tight slacks. The Kurti is also worn short and long as per your choice.

The different ways to team up the Kurti –

With Leggings – This is a very common style in which we generally pair up the Kurti with a color matching or contrasting legging. Leggings are extremely comfortable to wear and are easily available as well. There are different colored leggings, printed leggings, leggings with sheer paneling, and so on to match your style.

With Jeggings and Skinny Jeans – Jeggings and skinny jeans are totally rage now a days and it is a great way to pair up with Kurti. You can wear your favorite Kurti with your fitted jeggings or jeans for college or office wear. This looks casual and stylish at the same time.

With Shorts – Remember Alia Bhatt in 2 States? It was an absolute delight to watch how she pair up a short 3/4 th sleeve Kurti with a pair of denim shorts. So, next time you want to wear the shorts in the most casual way without turning too many heads, pair it up with a simple short cotton Kurti.

With Boyfriend Jeans – generally boyfriend jeans are flabby and loose but super comfortable to wear. Therefore, wear a sleeveless short Kurti with a pair of boyfriend jeans for a nice casual look. This is perfect for summers as well.

With Long Skirts – Kurti can also be paired with long flowy skirts as well. We have seen a number of Bollywood celebrities pulled off such an ethnic combo of Kurti and long skirt and we love the way it turned out to be. It gives a girl-next- door look with such polish and élan.

With Accessories – Kurti can also be accessorized in various ways. To add an ethnic touch, wear a dupatta with it. For casual look, you can add a scarf around the neck. Further it can be accessorized with bangles, earrings, bracelets, belts, head chain for a bohemian look, etc. as per the style and occasion.

With Palazzos – Kurti can be paired with flared pants or palazzos as well. These are extremely comfortable in summers where you want something loose fitted yet stylish. Palazzos and Kurti is also a killer combo for girl with long legs. Just make sure that the Kurti has no flared bottom. In fact, the sleeveless, long, straight, printed Kurti gives decent professional look with matching plain palazzo.

With Dhoti Pants – Dhoti pants are also coming back in fashion and the several pleats around the thigh area gives a nice flattering touch to the curves. Mix and match your dhoti pants with the Kurti and see how stylish it turns out to be.

Thus, these are the stylish and fashionable Kurti trend which has so many variants and can be paired in a number of ways to perk up your wardrobe.

OOTD: Indian Wear with Naari

OOTD: Indian Wear with Naari

Hi guys,

I know I haven’t done an OOTD since a long time. Today I am doing an Indian wear OOTD i.e. a kurti and matching pants.

Both the kurti and pants are from Naari’s Fluid Lines Collection.

Let me tell you a little bit more about Naari first.

About Naari: Desi elements fused with contemporary styles is what Naari is all about. This love love affair is prominent in every piece of fabric designed for an overall ethnic experience. A channel for your personal style and a gateway to high fashion prêt . Integrating the modern Indian woman’s quality, design and personal taste requirements, Naari is the fusion fiesta for the wardrobe.

So as you read, Naari is a perfect amalgamation of modern and traditional. It is Indian wear with a twist i.e. fusion wear. As you can see here, the kurti I have paired with unconventional pants and not the usual leggings. They also have palazzos, wide legged palazzos, slim pants and a lot of different options apart from the conventional leggings.

And they have different collections, i.e. True Blue, Fluid Lines, Real World, Mudcals, Secret Garden, etc. where the collection revolves around a particular concept.

One can buy kurtis, bottoms, dupattas, salwar kameez and even unstitched sets on their online website. They even have Gift Cards.

About the Fluid Lines Collection: If easy-breezy, fuss-free style is your thing, Fluid Lines must feature in your wardrobe! The collection not only boasts of a tantalizing movement of a color with a tinge of shaded pattern, but also rich Lucknowi embroidery to bring the whole look together.

I absolutely loved this simple white kurti with neon pink embroidery work, also the embroidery is placed well and it’s not all over, coz that wouldn’t be very flattering. The high low hem gives it a casual yet semi-formal look. The pink slim pants also has white thread work all over. They are stretchy and very comfortable.

Also I shot this, in the rains, so please excuse the pics :/

I hope you liked the outfit. If you love Indian wear or fusion wear, you should definitely check out ShopNaari.com

Kurti from Jabong.com

Kurti from Jabong.com
I shopped previously from jabong (read HERE)and I shopped again..online shopping is veryy bad for the pockets..its getting addictive..I don’t know how people control the temptation.. :p

I got this floral sheer mint blue kurti with mandarin collar..I checked out many and this was the only one that caught my attention immediately..I ordered the size as per the measurements mentioned on the site..but it was quite loose..and I had to return it..

I though it would be cumbersome..but thankfully it was so easy..I just called them on their toll free number and they raised a return request and gave me a number..I was told it would take 10-15 days..but the whole process took just 5-6 days and I was amazed..

The very next day a reverse pick up was arranged and I got a voucher of the same amount as the order in the next 3 days after the verification…I ordered the same again in a size smaller..and got it the very next day…I am glad it was so easy and fast..

I love the variety of apparel and shoes they have..and that they offer every damn thing you need for !

I only wish Jabong offers more discounts on various products..coz I do not see that as much as on a few other sites…rest with their COD and super fast delivery and returns, its doing great and I am surely shopping again and again 🙂

Have you shopped from Jabong? How was your experience ?

P.S: I was offered a voucher to shop for but that has not affected my opinion.
