What is a kurta?

A kurta is a traditional Indian garment worn by both men and women. It is a loose-fitting tunic that can be paired with trousers, jeans, or a skirt. Kurta tops typically reach the knee or below and can have varying lengths of sleeves.

Kurtas come in a wide range of styles, fabrics, and embellishments. They can be plain and simple for everyday wear, or more elaborate with embroidery, sequins, or beads for special occasions like weddings or festivals.

Men's kurtas are often paired with churidar pants or simple trousers, while women's kurtas can be paired with leggings, palazzos, or a traditional Indian skirt like a lehenga or ghagra.

Kurtas are a versatile and comfortable clothing choice that can be worn casually or dressed up for more formal occasions. They are popular in South Asian countries like India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, but have gained popularity worldwide as well.
