Kurtas
Sunday, December 20th, 2009
Kurtas have now been an essential part of every woman’s wardrobe. The best part of dressing in a kurta is the fact that they are extremely comfortable and can be worn for hours at a stretch. Be it college going girls or middle aged women; kurtas are popular across all age categories. Look at Kareena’s black kurta – it is something that is so intricately designed. It is worn well and the fit too is fab!
Indian traditional block printed kurtas which are available at a reasonable rate are worn by most urban women and can be seen on the busy shopping streets of Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore and other places.
Kurtas are available in various materials. Kurtas worn during the months of summer are usually made of thin silk or cotton fabrics while winter season kurtas are made of fabrics like Khadi silk, jute and other thick fibers.
Chikan embroidered cotton kurtas at the best option to beat the Indian summer. This type of embroidery is seen on light, semi-transparent fabric. The subtle effect of this embroidery on the kurta makes it rich and appealing in all senses.
Now-a-days, a shorter version of kurta is worn by most women- known as ‘kurti’. Its length reaches the waist. These type of kurtis along with kurtas are worn with jeans making it the perfect blend of Indian and western fashion. One can even paint a simple khadi kurti with designs, patterns and colours one wishes to be in. Special cuts in kurtas are now being experimented with. While you can experiment with the length and the style, keep your body type in mind and accessorize it!
