Tips on Kurti Designs
Types of Kurti Designs
Considered one of the most comfortable pieces of clothing Kurtis is the most go-to option in Indian ethnic wear that has transformed to become an element of Indo-Western wear as well. With each having her own style statement, Kurti has helped the Indian Woman evolve in her choice of style and design, be it for formal or informal occasions. From an A-Line which is quite a hit in the teenage/college going group to a front slit, long straight, anarkali or high-low kurti that’s ideal for all age groups, Kurti is considered one of the most elegant styles of women apparel. The Angarakha that wraps around the body and tied at the side with a decorative thread or tassel constitutes an ancient style of clothing best paired with a Churidar or leggings, while the Tail cut kurti has carved cuts on both ends, much preferred by the younger lot and paired with types of denim, leggings or jeggings. Then, there’s the princess line that glorifies the feminine curves with shaped seams that commence at the shoulder or armhole and continue all the way down, shaping up the kurti’s length.
A cold shoulder kurti is one of the latest styles in the market, where a small part of the kurti is left exposed for your shoulder and such style is best paired with palazzos, denim or jeggings. The floor-length Kurti is just a little above the floor covering the entire body and can be worn independently of a bottom piece as well.
Styling Your Kurti with Matching Trends
There’s a Kurti for every body type and all kinds of occasions, but if you fail to pair it with the right kind of bottom or style it the right way, the entire look can for a toss. Here are some variations to your kurti styles, designs and styling. Similar to asymmetrical cuts, the tail cut kurtis are just a little longer at the back and have been trending in the recent seasons. Paired best with anything that’s full length like a jegging or legging, this style suits young to mid-aged women with a petite, pear, hourglass or triangular body type. Perfect for most body types the high-low kurtis are ideal for informal dos and go well with full/ankle length or printed treggings/jeggings. While, a flared kurti is apt for tall women, pear/round/triangle body types and look chic & elegant. Best for daily wear, office or college, such styles work well with anything full length.
A kaftan or poncho styled kurti is good for daily wear, ideal for women with a pear, round or triangle shaped body type and best paired with full-length leggings. A front slit kurti is good for party wear, casual dressing and office attire with palazzos, especially for women with petite, hourglass, tall body frames. A kurti with pintuck detailing is charming and sophisticated that goes well with handloom, cotton or chanderi fabrics and most preferred in the young & mid-age groups of women. They go perfectly well with Palazzos, culottes or straight cut pants. Some other trending combinations with the latest styles of Kurtis include pairing with skirts, salwars, dhoti pants, and using sarees to style Kurtis in different variants.
Pairing Accessories and Footwear with Your Kurtis
While A-Line cuts look good paired with long earrings, studs or simple bracelets, front slit Kurtis work well with jhumkis as do long straight Kurtis with studs, medium-sized earrings or small jhumkis. An Anarkali kurti is good with embellished or ethnic styled jootis, while a high and low kurti is best paired with sandals, wedges, peep-toes or bellies. An Angarakha kurti goes perfect with a pair of mojris, choker and anklets, while the princess style kurti is best paired with studs, traditional earrings, mojris, kolhapuris, sandals or wedges.
