5 Easy Ways To Style A Kurta With Shorts, Boots, Jacket And More
Are you ready to give your simple kurta, a sassy spin?
In India, a traditional kurta is as common as an oversized t-shirt. From traditional wear to street style, kurtas of all kinds vary from one occasion to the other. And while most of us have known the art of styling one, with the usual salwars, palazzo pants or even denim, celebrities have been taking the humble kurta for a spin. Be it boots or shorts, fusion wear is consciously taking the silhouette to much newer spots. Straight from knee-high boots to even cropped shorts, our list of unconventional ways of styling a kurta will inspire your next time in one.
A Delicious Dress
The latest way of dressing up in a kurta is turning one into a dress. From straight slit, floor-length designs to spring-filled tier dresses, you can make a bold statement in a kurta. Wearing it sans a pair of pants/churidaars, you can take style cues from actress Diana Penty to pack a look with a pair of boots. For one of her Diwali parties, Penty styled her silk Payal Khandwala kurta, with a pair of knee-high boots and a chaand nose pin. The slits of the kurta, provided a bold look to her, giving the traditional attire a new twist.

Denim Darling
The easiest way one can style a kurta is with a pair of denim jeans. From close-fit to low-rise bellbottoms, you can pick a kurta with a length of your choice and easily curate a street-style look. Like Deepika Padukone, and Alia Bhatt, you can style one using a pair of sneakers, heels or even your favourite embellished juttis.
With A Jacket
Channelise your inner Geet, and style your kurta with a cool denim jacket for a powerful look. Using a short kurta, you can create a denim-on-denim look, with quirky jacket designs, or a hoodie and curate an off-duty look. You could also dish out a biker look by exchanging your denim jacket with a leather one, to give your traditional ensemble, a structured, grunge effect. In this case, you can take style cues from Sonam Kapoor. Giving you an easy canvas to layer on, you can also accessorise your denim jacket and kurta with bohemian jewellery.
Go Short?
Why wear the kurta with the usual churidaar and pants, when you can opt for denim shorts? Perfect for the summer season, you can style your front-open kalidaar, or cotton kurta with a pair of denim shorts, and build an uber-cool look. Here, you can allow the front-open slit to give people a peek into your denim shorts. Dusky colours and block prints will make the perfect combination with light-washed denim here.

As An Outerwear
What if you turn your kurta into a breezy cool jacket? Like actresses Taapsee Pannu, and Shilpa Shetty, you can choose to wear a front-open kurta as a jacket and layer it over your crop and tank tops. Here, you can also layer these kurtas with another simple kurta, and create a colour play of sorts. This unique combination will help you re-style your favourite silhouette in numerous other ways, that go beyond the conventional setup.
So, which one are you picking?
