Best cotton kurta colours

White, cream, ivory and yellow kurtas feel clean for puja and day functions. Blue, maroon, black and deeper tones work better for evening functions and stronger festive looks. The right colour should match the time of day and the formality of the event.

How a kurta should fit

The shoulder should sit naturally, the chest should not pull, and the length should suit your height. A kurta that is too long can make the outfit look heavy, while a kurta that is too short may look casual.

What to wear with a cotton kurta

Pair cotton kurtas with off-white pyjamas, straight trousers or tapered ethnic bottoms. For a modern look, some short kurtas can work with denim, but longer kurtas usually look better with cleaner ethnic bottoms.
