Guide: How to wear Kurtas as per your Body Type

Kurtas are one of the most comfortable and stylish pieces to be found in a woman’s wardrobe. Style them in different ways and sport a new look every day. The good thing about kurtas and kurtis is that they can be worn all year round. But the one thing that needs to be kept in mind while styling kurtas with different types of bottoms is your body type.

Fashion is a relative term. Something can be fashionable for me, but at the same time be completely outrageous for you. Don’t be a fashion victim and follow fashion blindly. Dressing as per your body type will not only give you a unique identity, but would also help you stand out from the crowd. Today we help you select the right kurtas as per your body type.

For example – Racer back kurtas are a great way to flaunt well-toned arms and shoulders. Adding oomph to the look, racer back kurtas are casual and very chic.

How to wear Kurtas as per your body type

Apple Shaped Women

Apple shaped women usually have a heavier upper body and slender legs. Simple A-line Kurtas without pleats would look best on women with apple shaped bodies. Highlight your thin legs by choosing skinny jeans or tight churidaars. Leggings are also a goop option. Avoid wearing Patiala salwars and yolk style kurtas. Focus on darker colored tops as they would make you look slimmer.

Pear Shaped Women

If you are pear shaped, then you would have a wider lower body and thinner upper body. Selecting kurtas that focus attention on the upper body and shoulders are recommended. Sleeveless and racer back kurtas are a good option.

Choose bottoms in darker colors to camouflage your lower body. Also avoid printed bottoms, as this would directly focus the attention to your lower body. Long tunics, A-line kurtas, anarkalis and angrakhas highly compliment pear shaped bodies. Since you have a slender upper body and shoulders, you can experiment with different styles of neck. Boat neck, yoke pattern with detailing and mandarin neck are good options.

Hourglass Shaped Women

Perfect balanced upper body and lower body, hourglass is the most coveted body types for women. A well-defined waist adds to the overall look.

The best thing about having an hourglass shaped body is that you can wear any type of kurta and it would look good. Skinny jeans, slim pants or churidaars are the best options to highlight your slim legs. Experiment with different types of kurtas that accentuate your curves, but avoid loose fitting kurtis. Kaftans and other kurtas with belt can also be worn, as they would highlight your slender waist.

Rectangular Shaped Women

Rectangular shaped women have a rather flat body without too many curves. To make your body look curvy, you need to create an illusion using different patterns. Frock style kurtas and kurtas with flares paired with churidars or skinny jeans greatly compliment this body structure.
