5 ways to style a kurta to beat the heat this summer

With the temperature on the rise, comfort becomes non-negotiable, with breezy summer kurtas acting like true wardrobe heroes. Whether you’re heading to your office or meeting a bunch of friends, the right kurta can make all the difference in the world. With a flattering fit and lightweight fabrics, an ideal summer kurti can look iconic without breaking a sweat. But let’s see exactly how you can style these breezy kurtas to skip the summer heat.

Start experimenting with your fashion wardrobe and try wearing your oversized kurta that hits right at the mid-calf or longer, like a day dress. You can leave it loose or turn it around with a sleek belt. Complete this look with a pair of block heels and throw in a chic crossbody bag. You can also wear it as resort wear with comfortable sandals and throw in a pair of dainty hoops with a sleek neck chain, creating an easygoing fashion palette.

Play the game of proportion and team your crisp, clean linen or cotton kurta with matching or neutral-hued wide-leg pants. Let the volume do the talking and play around with wide-leg pleated trousers or drawstring pants that would look iconic with a stack of bangles, leather sandals, and open locks. A perfect pick for everyday runs, it’s the kind of outfit that looks thoughtful without getting the feel of being overdone.

This is one of the most worn combinations and still works marvellously in summer. Keep a clean and balanced structure, and go for vintage wash, wide-leg, or mom-length jeans. You can also try oversized cargo, but skip the plain stretch or skinny denim jeans. Complete the look with a pair of kolhapuris or sneakers, depending on your activity and the vibe of the day.

Team your kurta with a pair of parachute or dhoti pants, which does not make sense, but looks like a great summer pick. Create a beautiful, colourful illusion and team it with oversized traditional earrings, a sleek choker, and a traditional saddle bag. Complete it with embroidered jutis and leave your curls loose with sleek waves.

As waistcoats are a popular inclusion in nearly every fashion aesthetic, opt for a traditional short waistcoat kurta with tailored detailing and easy-going dimensions that look subtle, comforting, and unique. Team it with a flowy pair of palazzos or linen pants, and round it off with an oversized tote bag with tinted sunglasses and sandals that mean style and business.
