Looking for a new way to spice up your kurti collection this summer? Look no further! Short kurtis are here to stay and we’ll be seeing loads of them this season. From A-line to mini-dresses, kurtis in short styles are a great way to keep your look fresh. But how do you pull off short kurtis, if you don’t have a lot of fabric and long sleeves are a necessity? Read on to find out!
What is a Short Kurti?
A short kurti is a traditional Indian kurti
that comes just above the knee. Typically, a short kurti would be paired with a
long-sleeved shirt or a cardigan for more casual occasions, but this season,
we’ve seen a lot of short kurtis paired with jeans, leggings and shorts.
Short kurtis are generally less formal than
their long kurti cousins. They’re also more casual, so they’re great for
pairing with sneakers, flip-flops and sandals. Short kurtis can get even more
casual if you add a cropped top or a cardigan for a more laid-back feel.
Knee-length pants are also a popular way to
pair a short kurti with jeans or leggings. Crumpled up some tissue paper or a
piece of tissue paper in your pocket and you’ll have a makeshift “do not
crease” guide.
Wear a Long Kurti with Short Sleeves
The most basic way to wear a short kurti is
with long sleeves. This look is especially casual, so you can pair it with your
favorite pair of leggings, culottes and sandals.
If you’re feeling more adventurous, you can also pair a long kurti with a cropped top. A cropped top is a great way to add a little attitude to your look, especially when paired with a printed, short kurti. A short kurti can also be paired with a camisole or a tank top, especially if you want to add a little more coverage.
Make a Kameez out of a Short Kurti
Kameez is the Bengali word for a dress and
we’ve seen a lot of kameezes this season that are actually kurtis. If you want
to make a kameez out of a short kurti, you’ll need to cut another piece of
fabric to do so.
There are many ways you can make a kameez
out of a short kurti. The most common way is to make the shirt you’re wearing
into the kameez by adding pieces of fabric.
Flip the shirt inside out and then add the
fabrics where the buttons are located. You can also add pieces of fabric to the
hemline of your kurti. If you want a more professional look, you can also add a
sash to the kameez.
Combine Short Sleeves with a Long Kurti
If you want to make a more interesting
kurti, you can also combine short sleeves with a long kurti. You can do this by
adding a cropped top, a cardigan or a shawl. Cards are a great way to add a
little color to a neutral outfit, especially when paired with a neutral kurti.
You can also add pom-poms, fringes and
buttons to a cropped top or a cardigan. These small touches will add some pizzazz
to your look. If you want to spice up the look of your kurti-kameez, you can
wear a sari while you’re at it.
