Pairing Tips for Kurta With Jeans

Now that we understand why a kurta with jeans is the ultimate outfit choice for the modern day woman, let us take a look at some tips to bring your A-game every time. 

  1. Details are Elegant

The most elegant type of kurta for women is the detailed one. Whether it is embroidered, sequined, or embellished with both, these are great for making a statement. 

Find a single-coloured kurta that is richly detailed, preferably a long one, since they look more elegant. Then find a contrasting pair of skinny jeans to go with it. 

If your kurta is of a lighter shade, pair it with darker jeans, and vice versa. Remember, if the neckline has details, keep the neck bare of jewellery to avoid overwhelming the look with too much. Instead, use a sheer dupatta in the same color as your kurta to add that extra layer of razzle-dazzle. 

  1. Slits make it chic 

Hollywood movies have made us believe that if a dress has a side slit, it must only look phenomenal on the female lead, especially if she has to fight wearing it. 

But a slit in a dress does not have to be nearly as dramatic or bold and can look chic with a touch of traditional style. Cue the side or front slit kurta. 

These kurtas are usually long, and the length of the slits on these kurtas can range from mid-thigh to full length. They usually offer a striking visual appeal to the wearer while not being too bold. 

They pair best with skinny jeans or cigarette pants, and they allow you to experiment with different colour options as each looks equally modern and stylish. 

  1. Prints matter 

While minimalist choices like a single-coloured kurta or monochrome sets are a safer bet and can be easily styled, a printed kurta can really help you step up your kurta with jeans game a notch. 

Choose prints that speak the language of grandeur. Hanblock prints, Mughal motifs, Paisley, baroque florals, and even abstract geometric shapes can add a touch of sophistication and high-end elegance to your attire. 

The trick to nailing this look is to simply avoid adding too many accessories to your outfit and let the prints shine. Pair these kurtas with darker jeans, or if you want to add a touch of flair, go for a ripped one. 

  1. The Hems Way 

Lastly, we have the hemline of your kurta. The hem of your kurta has the ability to help create a fascinating look depending on the pairing when done correctly. 

First, we have a short kurta, one that is all the rage among the younger generations of women. These A-line kurtas are the best partner for college or university since they keep one comfortable and bring a level of modern-traditional charm. 

Next, the mid-length one, where the hemline is around the center of your thigh. These create a stylish look when paired with skinny jeans and can also create an edgy look if paired with baggy jeans. 

Next, we have the high-low hemline, where the front hem of your kurta is higher or shorter while the one behind is lower or longer, creating a contrasting hemline together. These are uber-modern and perfect for a casual or laid-back day out. These pair best with skinny jeans, add chunky bracelets and achieve a whole new dimension for your look. 

Jeans and kurtas are the modern day classics. You can hardly go wrong with it, especially with a Kahva kurta. Explore this time tested favourite now with our kurtas and of course a dash of your pizzaze.
