Shirt or kurta: which should you wear?
A shirt is the easiest choice for work meetings, weekend plans, travel, dinners and everyday smart-casual styling. A kurta is better when the occasion has cultural, ritual or festive context, such as puja, Raksha Bandhan, Eid, Diwali, haldi, mehendi and weddings.
Best colours to start with
For shirts, white, blue, black, brown, checked and striped styles are the most repeatable. For kurtas, ivory, white, green, blue, yellow, maroon and embroidered options cover most Indian occasions. Choose lighter shades for daytime and deeper tones for evening events.
