Mastering the art of styling Pakistani Kurtis for Various Occasions

Pakistani Kurtis are a staple of Pakistani culture and tradition. Embellished with traditional embroidery on the neckline, sleeves and borders, these Kurtis can be styled in a lot of ways. Even today, Kurtis have evolved from a completely cultural outfit to a very versatile and ethnic one. Fused with contemporary cuts and traditional embellishments, Kurtis are seen everywhere. 

It doesn’t matter the kind of occasion or occasion you are attending, it is certain that you will find an appropriate kurta for it. Whether it is a formal occasion or a casual one, you can style a kurta for all types of gatherings. A kurta is a versatile piece of clothing that can be styled up or down based on your personal preference.

Styled for your workplace

A short or knee-length kurta can be styled with plain trousers or jeans or even palazzo pants. The key is to keep it as minimalist as possible. Delicate embroidery and plain trousers are perfect for a workplace environment. Pairing it with a shawl or a dupatta can further add up to the grace and sophistication of this combination. For footwear, you can go for pumps as well as block heels. Jewelry should also be kept simple, like a wrist watch or studs as earrings.

A brunch with your friends

A casual day out with your friends calls for a lightweight outfit. What’s better than a cotton kurta paired with plain jeans or trousers? Whether they are a floor-length kurta or a short one, they will look the best when paired with flowy trousers or well-fitted jeans. Accessories them with a trendy pair of sunglasses, jhumke, a slim bracelet and a tote bag. Go for loose sandals or khusse as footwear as they scream casual to you.

 

A big fat Pakistani Wedding

Floor-length Kurtis in luxurious fabrics like silk or velvet and especially in colors like Dark blue, maroon or rich gold are ideal for your wedding season. Heavily embroidered front and back Kurtis add a touch of glamor and allure to your Kurtis. Paired with gold necklaces, earrings and bold makeup can elevate your look to another level. A nice up-do furthers the glamor of the whole look.

Kurtis for a glamorous evening

If you are going for a dinner or a night out, a kurta in a flowy shiny fabric can make your look talked about for days. A kurta in a material like silk, chiffon, georgette or crepe can give you the drape that you are looking for. There is something about the textures of such materials that add a sense of grandeur to your outfit. Pair them with minimal yet statement gold or silver jewelry. Floor-length georgette kurta in a rich color when paired with cigarette pants make the perfect night-out outfit.

A Fusion Look

Achieve a contemporary and modern look by styling a chic short kurta with wide-legged or flared trousers. This mostly applies to younger girls who are looking for comfort, style and grace. These Kurtis are mostly embellished with embroidery or Punjabi phulkari or Sindhi mirrorwork. Paired with plain sandals, khusse and statement jhumke, these Kurtis are a work of art in themselves.

Trends come and go but Pakistani Kurtis are here to stay. There is nothing more versatile than a Pakistani kurta and the amount of ways that it can be styled.
