It kurta hybrids of the season

Every humble classic in our wardrobe has a centuries-old legacy. For instance, the kurta from early medieval origin has sustained as staple Indian wear amidst cyclical trends; with the elegance remaining uncompromised. Having served the test of time, the Indian kurta has evolved to harmonise with new-age style sensibilities. Staying true in its comfortable conduct, the fusion of trend and tradition has transformed the kurta as kurta more than just a rotational basis. 

Kaftan Kurta

Designers have given a universal spin to the culturally rooted silhouette. The kaftan kurta hybrid takes the top spot on the trend chart for its globally savvy appeal. From a resort soiree to festive brunches, the kaftan kurta makes a case for an exquisite style that is particularly practical. 

Tunic Du Jour

Descending with a relatively understated design, the tunic iteration of the kurta is the unsung hero of every wardrobe, promising to match every day in your diary. From meeting an off-shore client to bringing in the festivities at your workplace, a meticulously tailored tunic kurta boasts year-round wearability. 

Offbeat Fusion

Designers have reprised the simple kurta with contemporary connotations to fit it into the social calendar. Look out for dramatic elements like statement sleeves, ruffles and artisanal embroidery to add fuss-free opulence for your upcoming RSVPs. 

Light & Layering Iterations

Focusing strategically on experimental cuts, the silhouette has also received a facelift with indo-western aesthetics. Think one-shoulder style kurta to inject veritable novelty into the demure kurta. Thought of wearing the kurta as a jacket. A collar to the angrakha silhouette will slot easily into your offbeat layering game. 

Shirt & Dress Kurta

Integrating the silhouette with other ubiquitous must-haves like shirts and dresses, the kurta has been reconstructed with a cool spin. While button down kurta gives a sweet nod to your well-groomed instincts. Artsy cuts that offer shirt-dress-kurta, all in one or an A-line silhouette that can be slipped into like a dress for alfresco days.

Uber-chic and stylish than ever, the updated hybrid of kurtas promise to keep your style in check.
