Ethnic Kurti Yet Trendy

Ethnic Kurtis
Kurtis are essentially Casual Wear outfits and are meant for everyday wear or for casual moments. Even though there exists a separate category of elegant and beautiful Party Wear Kurtis made of expensive silks, satins, brocades, etc, the feel or appeal of a Kurti is more casual than formal. To begin with, Kurtis were teamed with tight fitting Churidars and then came the age of Kurtis with a pair of jeans, especially boot cut jeans. Of late, Kurtis are donned with skin tight leggings which can be claimed as the Westernized version of a Churidar. The term 'Kurti' has emerged from the word 'Kurta', the male counterpart of a Kurti. The Indian Kurti is known as a tunic in the West, but then again a Western Designer Tunic differs considerably from an Indian Designer Tunic. Indian outfits are famous worldwide for their vibrancy and use of bright colors; hence, the Indian Designer Tunic is all about vibrancy and vivacity.

It is very rare to find an Indian Designer Tunic in a plain, sober and pale shade. On the contrary, Indian Designer Kurtis are known for their striking combination of various colors and fabrics. The blend or combination of multiple fabrics in eye-catching colors is a special characteristic that is found primarily in Indian Designer Kurtis. It is this unique design of Indian Kurtis that makes them truly striking and ethnic in appeal. It is also for the same reason that youngsters find Kurti very appealing as it makes quite a trendy style statement. Rather than a Kurti in a single shade or of just one kind of fabric, Kurtis featuring multiple fabrics in various shades are head turners along with being extremely versatile.

Such Kurtis can be paired with various leggings or Churidars in different shades as opposed to Kurtis in single shade which presents limited scope when it comes to pairing with leggings or Churidars.

Designer Indian Kurtis
Few years back, it was the reign of jeans and Kurtis. Almost every woman, be it a college goers or homemaker, was spotted in a pair of straight cut or boot cut jeans with a colorful Indian Kurti. The picture has changed, but only a little. The pair of jeans has been replaced by what is known as leggings. The trend of leggings is definitely not a new one. It all started way back in the 70s when they were called tights or slacks. However, back then the leggings or tights were paired with shorter tops, mainly jersey tops. Now, the current rage is to pair leggings with vibrant and ethnic Designer Kurtis. Leggings are quite important in Western fashion as well but those leggings are usually printed ones. When it comes to Indian fashion, the leggings are usually opted in plain solid colors such as black, brown, navy blue, maroon or in softer neutrals such as white, beige, grey, etc. Leggings are the fashionable and tighter substitute for the Indian Churidar. While the Churidar is made of a variety of fabrics such as cotton, georgette, crepe or silk depending upon the entire ensemble, leggings are primarily made of cotton-lycra blend or nylon-lycra blend. Leggings worn with Western outfits are often knee-length or ankle length while the leggings meant to be paired with Indian Kurtis often extend beyond the ankle in length so as to give it Churidar look by forming gathers around the ankle region.

They are paired with long Designer Kurtis in eye-catching colors. Leggings paired with short Kurtis are quite unflattering and hence, most women do not opt for short Kurtis when wearing leggings. Since leggings are skin-tight, they are often paired with flared long Kurtis rather than tight-fitting long Kurtis. Flared Designer Kurtis or crushed Designer Kurtis with contrast leggings indeed renders a chic look.
