Kurti Kraze

Kurtis are a wardrobe must-have for Indian girls. They are appropriate for almost every occasion. You can wear them to college, work and for festive occasions as well. Here are a few tips for styling your favorite kurti…

The desi girl look

Pair your kurti with a salwar or churidar and a dupatta for the traditional salwar kameez or churidar look. Add a few bangles and big, bold, statement earrings and you’re good to go.

The college girl look

Dupattas can get pretty fussy if you have to drive a bike or carry a heavy bag. For college, it's best to pair your kurti with some contrasting leggings. They're super comfortable and look chic on everybody. Pair printed leggings with solid colored kurtis.

To vary your looks, get different styles of kurtis. Get some short ones, some long ones, collared and button-downs for unique outfits. Pair these with jhumkis and bracelets. Add a pair of wedges or stylish mojadis(balle flats style ethnic footwear) to complete the look.

The Indo-western look

You can wear this look to college or work or even while going out. It's fun, comes with minimal fuss and won't ever go out of style. You can mix it up and work with what looks good on you.

1. Pair a short or tunic style kurti with skinny or straight leg jeans. Wear a dark wash denim with lighter kurtis and light wash denim with darker kurtis. You can experiment with distressed and ripped jeans, but I would recommend staying away from printed jeans. Still, if you like the look, go for it!
2. Pair your mid-length kurtis with jeggings for a cooler, relaxed look. Add some printed jackets to give your outfit something extra.
3. Pair long and asymmetric kurtis with wide-legged pants or palazzos. Add a statement necklace and high heels. If you don’t like palazzos, cigarette pants also work well.
4. Wear long kurtis with a maxi skirt for the ultimate fusion look. Make sure there aren't too many clashing prints though.

The festive look

For festivals or special occasions, wear your salwar kameez set with heavy jewelry. Opt for dupattas with stone work or intricate beading. Add some traditional bangles, a cute potli bag, heels and you're all set! Festivals are the perfect time to go bold with colors. Reds, oranges, fuscias are all apt for these ocassions.

So go ahead and rock that kurti girl!
