Dressed for the Drizzle: Slay the Monsoon in Style with Kurtas
Whether hopping over puddles, lounging by the windows, and romanticizing life while sipping a brewing cup of cappuccino, these styling tips on how to wear kurtas during the monsoons will keep you effortlessly stylish, no matter the weather.
1) Palazzo Perfection Paired
Combining kurtas with palazzos is the shortcut to blending ease with elegance, making it a perfect choice for running errands, sudden brunch date plans, and festive occasions.
Monotone Magic
Kurta palazzos create a sleek, refined, and coordinated look that works for both work and weekends. For an added touch of sophistication, consider accessorising your outfit with bold footwear and statement jewellery.
Statement Subtlety
Combining your embroidered kurta with a solid-coloured palazzo will highlight the detailing of the outfit that caught your attention in the first place. Not only does the contrast help in maintaining the focus on the intricate work of your kurta, but it also balances your overall look with a dash of elegance.
2) Drama in Every Drape
There is no other graceful way to style your kurta for the monsoons than teaming it with a skirt. Apart from adding that missing modern flair to your traditional look, the combination is also a perfect way to look elegant but without compromising on your comfort.
Indie Twist
Ditch the floor-grazing skirts and instead choose midi or calf-length skirts to steer clear of splashes and puddles. In addition to offering comfort, these lengths promise to keep you stylish through the wet weather.
Urban Ethnic
If you love flaunting colors, then monsoons are the right season for you. This combination of a blue draped kurta paired with a yellow dhoti skirt, for instance, can brighten up your gloomy days.
3) Shorts with a Twist
Styling a kurta with shorts can merge comfort with Western flair, giving an edgy and playful twist to Indian ethnic wear. This fusion looks practical and is great for your casual strolls on monsoon afternoons.
Bold Blend
Look for a short-length kurta like this puff-sleeved pink creation to reveal just enough of the shorts for a quirky and balanced silhouette that feels both modern and modest.
Color Play
Mix and match! Try pairing a brightly coloured kurta with printed or neutral shorts for a whimsical touch
4) Unexpected Pairings, Unmatched Flair
Who says kurtas need to stick to the same old bottoms? Combining them with surprising pieces like harem pants, dhoti pants, and cropped pants can bring a refreshing and modern twist to your wardrobe. These kinds of style remixes let you experiment with silhouettes and express your creativity.
Dhoti Drama
A classic combo, a kurta and dhoti pants add an instant elegance and drama to your look. Deeply rooted in tradition but having a flair of modern styling, this silhouette is great for edgy everyday looks, pre-wedding festivities, and other celebrations.
Ethnic Ease
Kurta and harem pants are a fashion-forward fusion that blends boho comfort with ethnic charm. Try pairing your short kurta with voluminous harem pants to balance the overall shape and to avoid letting your outfit look bulky.
Go Monochrome
Think of a monochrome look for a sleek finish, or you can try mixing a solid kurta with printed flared pants for a contrast.
Snappy Silhouette
Since flared pants add volume, pairing them with short or front-slit kurtas will work beautifully in balancing the flow.
6) Kurta, But Make it Dressy
If you believed that kurtas are incomplete without bottoms, then we are here to change the narrative. Wearing your kurta as a standalone dress is a fuss-free and chic way to embrace style and comfort in one go.
Spin Style
Go for a fit-and-flare or A-line silhouette that has enough structure and length to be worn as a solo. Shirt-style kurtas and front-slit pieces work great as dresses as well. Think of trusting lightweight and breathable fabrics that feel comfortable and flow well. For a more stylish vibe, layer your dress with a denim jacket or cropped overlay.
Flared Finesse
Wearing a short kurta as a dress is super fun and a fail-proof way to celebrate the beauty of Indo-fusion fashion, but with a playful twist. Perfect for vacations and monsoon-friendly days, a short kurta works great with a mini dress when accessorized well.
7) Kurta Reimagined with Denim
For the ultimate everyday fusion, look no other way than the kurta and jeans combination. This classic and trustworthy combo blends the timeless charm of Indian wear with the versatility and chicness of denim, making it a go-getter for everything from casual Friday night outs to college days.
Casual Ethnic
Think mid-length striped kurtas to pair with fitted jeans. And while a monochromatic kurta with classic blue denim is a safe option, you can consider playing with playful prints such as this flower vase appliqué cotton striped kurta.
Street Fashion
The one-shoulder kurta is a bold choice that you can try as traditional wear, and pairing the same with denim adds the right touch of street-smart chic.
8) Kurta Meets Modern Layers
Did you know that by pairing a kurta with a jacket you can champion a timeless styling hack that not only adds depth but also structure and flair to your outfit? Whether it is a cropped jacket or a long overlay, the added layer can transform even the most minimalist kurta into a statement look. Check out how to wear kurtas during monsoons with a jacket!
Styled Topper
Perfect for a fusion look, kurtas look great with cropped jackets. Accessorise your outfit with a pair of statement juttis and a brooch to complement your look.
Layered Elegance
Long ethnic jackets featuring rich embroidery work go well with a straight-cut kurta and pants. The combination adds drama and is great for casual events and festive celebrations.
