How to Style Your Kurti in Winter
Days are getting shorter. Nights have a calm coldness to them. Leaves are falling, green is losing its lustre as is the course of Nature. There’s a nip in the air. Winter is approaching. And we all know that as the season changes with another turn of the Earth around the Sun, this particular change calls for quite a change in your wardrobe as well. Warmth is now the key to your comfort, while relaxed and convenience is your driving factor. So, how do you make the best of this season? Believe it or not, the deserts of Rajasthan have a way for you with their jaipuri suits.
Cotton Kurtas for Comfortable Winter Wear
Most block print kurtis come on the best of cotton. Feather touch, light and breezy cotton. Doesn’t seem like the ideal fit for the winter warmth, does it? But the dryness of winters also calls for a burst of colours and the vibrancy of block prints are hard to resist. So, how do we blend the two? Is it at all possible? Can block print suits be an ideal winter wear for you?
Yes, they can. All you need to do is style them smartly. It requires having your winter woollens absolutely on point and diverse in cut, shape and style, so that you can pair them with ease with your coloruful kurtis. What are these looks that you can create? Well, here are some simple, effective and as always, royal, suggestions for you.
The Classic Coat and Kurti for Women
This is the simplest yet most effective fashion blend for the winter. The allure of block prints is for all seasons, so why not try this classic combination? Pick out a bright block print kurti you have, it can be your favourite one too, and simply wear a black coat on top of it. A flowing long coat with kurtis is the ideal way to go about it. Stay away from short coats or blazers with long kurtis. Style them with boots and if you want to protect your throat, then ditch the scarf and go with a dupatta. And you are ready to rock this classic winter look.
Shawls for a Royal Feel with Straight Cut Kurti
When it comes to winter wear, nothing speaks regal more than shawls. Heavy embroidered or a simple touch of Kashmiri embroidery on the corners, shawls are an enigma with a personality of their own. Kashmir shawls in particular are one of the most treasured and appreciated across the world. With this look, you have the opportunity to bring together two states of our country - Rajasthan and Kashmir. Made from pashm (goat hair), these shawls are an embrace of warmth. Drape one over beautiful cotton kurtis and see how cozy a combination it is. In fact anarkali cut kurtis are the perfect ones for this combination. As the light cotton keeps your body comfortable, the shawl adds an envelope of snugness that you absolutely crave for in the winter months. Pair it with no-show socks and jutis for maximum comfort. And for a combination like this, there is no better alternative than pearls.
