Irrespective of whatever shape or size you may be, almost everyone can carry a Kurti with élan. One can wear it paired with traditional Indian pieces with slightly western elements...like the leopard print shoes with the kurta...and there you go! You will start getting heads rolling. Kurtas, till some time back, were considered good either for working women, or for expecting mothers seeking comfort. But now no longer! Thanks to Bollywood, the Indian tunic, which is now a global fashion statement, has got a chic makeover, making it a big hit with women across ages, shapes and sizes. Besides, you now have the option of wearing the regular A-line kurta, either pleated or printed; poncho kurti, which is more like a printed top and is available in almost every shop, the sexy tube-top handkerchief ones that bare your arms and enhance your bust; or the extremely hot kaftan-style kurti that revives memories of the hippie fashion of the early' 70s, fashion kurtis seem too much in vogue. Not just in India, these kurtis are in demand the world over. Depending on the occasion designer kurtis look smart for casual family gatherings or even for a wedding ceremony. As fashion statement keeps changing from time to time; today, even the corporate world is adopting a new look in terms of attire to bring out its own unique essence. Apart from the traditional office attire of formal pants and formal shirts, kurtis has broken the age old custom and have also come to take the place of one of the most fashionable attires in the gamut of office wears. Taking over from the ever classy and ever popular Shift dresses of the west, our Kurtas have become the most versatile and stylish garment of this season. From being the staple traditional garment which later got modified to suit changing tastes and times, kurtas have evolved, adapting themselves so that you can wear them during every occasion in your life. The new styles depend less on bling – cut the embroideries and embellishments to a minimum and more on new cuts and better fit.
