A palazzo also gives an illusion of a skirt when paired with a long kurta. But it looks sassy enough to try the trend.

  1. Hello, TANYA!
    First of all nice post,

    But as you have said kurtas looks perfect with jeans, what are the types of jeans that I can try out with kurtas? I think not all jeans will look good!

    Anyway, great post.

    1. You can try with fitted jeans. Avoid loose jeans with kurtas. BY fitted I don’t mean skinny. Fitted as in that fits well along the shape of your legs.
      Happy kurtas to you!
