We can wear them at workplace or at dinner parties. It can give perfect ethnic look for festivals or for weddings. That is the reason I call it my companion for casual or formal suitable for all occasions and all seasons.
Kurti is favourite item of clothing for Indian women. It has gained popularity from past few years for its comfort and versatility. It has reached to every woman’s closet, college going girls to old women and working women to housewives we all own kurtis in our wardrobes. So it can be teamed with any comfortable bottoms to create desired look for the event. We know all the features of kurti, therefore it is close to our heart.
