How The Humble Kurtas Can Give Your Wardrobe A Facelift!

There are a few pieces that you need to have in your wardrobe, because these are clothes that you will be able to mix and match with several choices and create brand new looks, each time. For instance, take the humble kurta – while it might seem like a simple dress, these days, you can find so many different prints and patterns that every kurta you pick up at your local store or online shopping portal, will be different from the other. However, did you know that with just a handful of different kurtas, you could create so many different looks!

• Let’s say you pair a long kurta with leggings, you have an outfit that would be perfect for office or even a day with your friends. You could wear matching or even contrasting coloured leggings to create different looks. What is great about leggings is that you need not wear a dupatta, but you can always add accessories. Wearing makeup could really highlight your outfit for a special evening out. 

• When you team a short kurta with a Patiala salwar, you have a truly ethnic outfit, perfect for any special occasion such as a pooja or a wedding pre-ceremony. When you team a heavy embroidery kurta with a salwar and team it with a work dupatta, you have an outfit fit for any special event. 

• Let’s say you want a casual fun look that you can wear to college or you can wear when you are running around trying to complete all your errands, why not pair a short kurta with a pair of jeans. If you own a pair of distressed or ripped jeans, then a short kurta would work really well, but you can also wear a long kurta with jeans. Short anarkali or flared kurtas work beautifully with slim-fit jeans. You could also try similar looks with trousers, especially 

• For that fun, flirty and truly comfortable look, you could team a short or knee-length kurta with a skirt. What is great about mixing and matching kurtas with skirts is that there are so many options – you can play with the length of the skirts and the kurtas, you can play with the prints, mixing plain kurtas with printed skirts or the other way around. 

• During the summer days, there could be no better wardrobe choice than teaming a cotton kurta with a pair of palazzos. Yet again, you will have multiple choices, because you can team short and long kurtas, sleeveless and sleeved kurtas with palazzos. In addition, you can choose from a range of materials for your palazzos, as well as solid colours, prints and patterns. 

If you are someone who always feels that your wardrobe is so limited, you just need to open up your mind to the possibilities and get creative!
