The Youthful Appeal of Designer Cotton Kurtis

If there is one ethnic garment that any Indian woman can turn to for casual wear, work over daily chores out of the home, it is the quintessential designer kurti. This garment which is a contemporary interpretation of the kameez or the kurta in a more fitted silhouette and shorter length is the ideal fusion of ethnic and contemporary fashion sensibilities. Today the kurti is fast replacing the saree or the salwar kameez as the most widely worn ethnic garment preferred by the new-age Indian women. There has been huge socio-economic change for women in India. Today more and more women are stepping out of their home to work or study and this brings about a need for ethnic garments that are easy to wear on a daily bases. Many working women especially the younger generation find the salwar kameez or salwar to be too cumbersome to wear on a daily basis and western casual dresses like denims and tees preferable. The kurti is now considered a good replacement for the t-shirt as it can be easily worn with bottoms of any kind. The kurti is also preferred over the t-shirt for its ethnic motifs, prints, design and embroidery. Read further to know more about the many reasons why the kurti is so popular.
