Men’s Kurta Styling Guide for Weddings, Puja and Festivals

A kurta is one of the most useful pieces in an Indian man’s wardrobe. It works for puja, Diwali, haldi, mehendi, wedding functions, family celebrations, cultural events and office ethnic days. This TryBuy guide helps shoppers choose the right men’s kurta by colour, fabric, print, embroidery and occasion.

Best kurta colours by occasion

White and cream kurtas work well for puja, daytime functions, Eid, Diwali mornings and elegant festive styling. Yellow kurtas are ideal for haldi, mehendi and bright daytime events. Blue kurtas suit wedding functions, festive evenings and heritage-inspired looks. Black and maroon kurtas are stronger choices for receptions, festive dinners and evening occasions.

Printed vs embroidered kurtas

Printed kurtas are easy to wear for daytime functions, family gatherings and festive dressing. Motifs like floral, lotus, elephant, peacock, tiger, village scenes and ethnic borders create a more expressive look. Embroidered kurtas feel more premium and are better suited for weddings, receptions, formal festivals and occasions where the outfit needs more depth.

How to style a kurta

• Pair white, cream or pastel kurtas with off-white pyjama for a clean ethnic look.
• Pair black, blue or maroon kurtas with cream trousers for evening events.
• Use tan sandals, brown mojaris or simple ethnic footwear for festive dressing.
• Keep accessories minimal when the kurta has heavy embroidery or strong prints.

Kurta fit checklist

A good men’s kurta should sit comfortably at the shoulders, fall straight through the body, allow easy sleeve movement and have a length that works with pyjama or trousers. The mandarin collar should sit neatly without pulling at the neck.
