Flaunt Your Style with Trendy Kurtis

Over the past decade, apparel trends for women have seen infinite transformations. One of these has been the emergence of modern designer kurtis for women, which has added a new dimension to a woman's wardrobe. The kurti, as we see it now, is a classier and stylish take on the traditional kurta. A kurti is similar to a long shirt and falls somewhere between the waistline and knees. It is a fashion staple for women of all ages, and a must-have for the upcoming spring/summer season.Indian kurtis or tunics, as they are called in the west, vary in silhouettes, cuts, and appearance, and come with different embellishments. Kurtis are usually much shorter than the traditional long kurta. A kurti is available in variety of lengths, which can vary from mid-thigh to below the knee. While the shorter kurtis make great options for teaming up with jeans, the slightly longer one can be paired perfectly with a loose patiala salwar, or with contrasting leggings.

Usually, lighter fabrics like chiffon, crepe, georgette, art silk, and cotton are used for kurtis, which makes them apt for casual wear. However, designer kurtis that can be worn for formal occasions are created in rich fabrics like velvet, satin, silks, organza, and brocades. The perfect blend of color, fabric and embellishments in designer kurtis make them the right choice for special occasions.

Unlike the traditional salwar kameez, kurtis offer a comfort and no-fuss factor to the wearer, making them popular amongst college-going girls and working women. Some of the ado
ments and kurti designs that add a sense of ethnicity to this Indo-weste
piece of clothing are block printing, appliqué work, screen printing, tie and dye, shibori dying, sequin embellishments, and embroideries like chain stitch, thread work, and floral embroidery.

If fusion is the word that describes your style statement, kurti is the best Indo-weste
attire for you. However, there are some things to be kept in mind when wearing a kurti. When opting for a kurti in white or pastel shades, always go for bright or dark hues in the patiala salwar. However, if you are pairing your kurti with jeans, opt for skinny jeans over flared ones. Open to further experimentation? Then, team up your kurti with a pair of three-fourth trousers or a skirt. If you want to go bolder with a kurti, then choose one in a light weight fabric, accentuate it with classy prints and asymmetrical cuts, and wear it like a stylish dress for a casual evening.

Pairing the kurti with the right accessories is also essential to complete your look. For a casual day at college or work, add some color to your dress with multicolor bangles, trendy chains, chandelier earrings and kolahpuris or flat sandals. Wear light accessories like dangling earrings or a fashionable pendant chain and stilettos, and you are good to go for that evening party.

So, if you are bored of traditional attire, then opt for a stylish kurti in bright hues, and add a dash of modernity to your style.
