One thing we desi fashion lovers can concur on is that a white kurti is an unmatched staple in your traditional or indo-western wardrobe. Similar to a classic white button-down shirt, one can do no wrong when they decide to don a white kurti. As comfortable and effortless as a white kurta can be, it can inadvertently look mundane. So, here are 7 tips on how to style a white kurti to make your outfit sharp, smart, and stylish.
1. Contrast Patterns
Whether it is staving off a slightly chilly breeze or simply a desire to dress up your white kurti, a shrug is an apt layer to add effortlessness to your styling game. Take inspiration from Crew member, Kareena Kapoor Khan. Choose a slightly oversized straight-fit white kurta like Abhishti’s Front Knot Cotton-Linen White Tunic Kurta. It has a flowy asymmetrical hemline and an accented knotted bodice. Pair it with the Navy Blue Abstract Print Rayon Shrug by Indibelle, an affordable indie fashion brand that offers premium designs in quality fabrics. The shrug, with abstract print, reaches the knees, and ties in the front with red strings. If you want a baggier fit, the shrug goes up to 5xl. Complete the whole look with some oxidised jewellery like Bebo’s coin necklace.
2. Timeless Jean Jacket
If the theme of your outfit is ‘timeless’, it can’t get easier than styling a white kurti with a denim jacket. Though a full-sleeved denim jacket can give your traditional outfit some edginess, try experimenting with a sleeveless denim jacket if you want to avoid a heavy extra layer. We like Fashor’s white Solid Beads & Resham Embroidered Kurta. The brand boasts premium ethnic wear in sought-after Indian patterns like bandhani, leheriya, and chikankari. This embroidered kurta comes close to the inspiration shown above. Complement the kurta with the Blue Sleeveless Collared Neck Jacket from Indian western wear brand, Global Republic.
3. All White
Opting for a traditional all-white outfit is perfect if you’re a fashion beginner or if you don’t get much time to get ready. No matter the weather or the occasion, television actress and Influencer, Jannat Zubair’s full-length chikankari kurta makes a beautiful statement for minimal traditional wear. For this look, we recommend the white Muslin Chikankari Long Kurta from House of Chikankari, a traditional wear brand which have been spotted on countless celebrities like Rakul Preet, Sara Ali Khan, and Shraddha Kapoor. Pair it with a pair of flared chikankari palazzo like Readiprint Fashions’ Cotton Fabric White Chikankari Palazzo.
