Featuring bell sleeves and clashing prints, Alia Bhatt's not-so-basic kurta will help you spruce up your traditional look. You can also recycle it for a small puja at home in the upcoming months.
If comfortable silhouettes are what you seek, do like Neha Dhupia and invest in an over-sized kurta like her green Raw Mango number. You can style it with a pair of silver earrings and a matching choker set.
Take the floral route with Ritu Kumar’s beige silk kurta showcasing yellow and peach blooms, or stick to bold hued styles from Raw Mango. If you are inclined towards bright hues, choose a yellow bandhini kurta and sharara set by Punit Balana to inject some vibrancy into your look. Alternatively, you can also invest in MulMul’s blue kaftan-style kurta set which will also prove to be your ultimate off-duty companion in the upcoming months. If you’re not quite ready to embrace over-sized styles, then AM:PM’s white fitted kurta and churidar set is for you. Whether you lean towards classic kurta and sharara sets or favour an offbeat style, you’ll find an ideal number in Vogue India’s picks.
