The Ultimate Kurti Guide: How to Rock the Traditional Look

Body Shaped Like an Apple

If your upper body is wider than your lower body, with rounded shoulders, an average to large bust, or fullness around the middle, go for darker colors in cotton and silk fabrics that do not cling to the body. 

V-shaped or embellished necklines tend to draw attention to the well-endowed bust. Flared and cuffed sleeves will highlight your best assets while emphasizing your best features.

Body Shaped Like a Banana

The banana-shaped body, also known as the rectangular body type, is an evenly proportionate shape, meaning that the shoulders, hips, and waist are all evenly proportioned. The bust size ranges from small to medium, but the waist is not defined. 

A broad and deep neckline with a clinched waist are characteristics of the right Kurti that will complement this body type. Panel detailing, pleats, and a front placket are all options. To complete the look, choose bottoms that are slightly slim and sleek, such as churidars or leggings.

Body Type: Pear

Pear-shaped body types have full hips and thighs, a defined waist, and narrow shoulders. Wearing dark-colored lowers with lighter-colored Kurtis will draw attention to the torso. Necklines with collar patterns, boat or square cuts will complement the look. 

A bishop with roughed arms is an option for sleeves. Kurtis that are straight and long will add length to your body.

Body Form: Hourglass

This body type has a defined waist and bust, as well as a bottom and hips. Kurtis of all types can be worn with this body type. Combine them with palazzos or straight-leg pants for a stunning look. 

Avoid wearing ill-fitting Kurtis. A flared Kurti is the best option because it creates a fuller look. Furthermore, a streamlined cut would be ideal for this body type.

Body with an Inverted Triangle Shape

This body type necessitates a straight and squared shoulder line as well as a smaller bottom. Choosing flared Kurtis that fit well at the bust and have slightly low necklines to draw attention away from broad shoulders. 

Raglan sleeves give the appearance of an evenly distributed look throughout the body and would be ideal for this body type. Choose longer Kurtis and layer them with a Patiala or skirt. To switch to a more appealing style, avoid anything with strong shoulder detailing or high necklines.

Kurtis are the most adaptable part of the Indian fashion landscape, as they can be smartly layered with throwovers and jackets to add more professional or ethnic variation entirely depending on the occasion. Fashion is primarily about feeling good about ourselves and adapting to trends, and simple guidelines can help you play up your best features with clothing you already own or plan to purchase.
