Indian ethnic wear has its own charm, and it can never fail to impress anyone. I personally, prefer wearing an Indo-Western outfits to work. When it comes to wearing kurtas for women it is not just about the comfort but also the unique style. These days there are so many styles and designs that can take your fashion game a step forward. And when you pair the kurtas with the right accessories like a small bindi or jhumkas, you can surely amp your style quotient. Here are some of the Kurtas for women that you must add to your wardrobe.
Anarkali Kurta: The trend for Anarkali kurtas is still very much there in India, Pakistan and Middle Eastern countries. What used to be a mid-sized flared kurta has now changed to a floor-length gown style. You get a wide range of fabrics for Anarkali kurtas for women with prints and bright colours. These kurtas can be easily styled for plus-size women as it beautifully accentuates their curves.
Chikankari Kurta: Coming to you from the royal city of Lucknow, the chikankari embroidery is still the top choice for most office going women. The beautiful craftsmanship, the elegant white floral embroidery and the lovely weavework is a trademark of a Chikankari Kurta. It is synonymous with grace and elegance and is a must have for all women.
Hand-printed Cotton Kurta: The cotton material is one of the best and most popular materials used in India. As the raw cotton is produced on our land, many old fabric printing styles use it as the base material. Ikat, batik, kalamkari, and ajrak are a few types of traditional prints that still co-exist with fast fashion. These hand-printed cotton kurtas for women come in different necklines and sleeves with permutations and combinations to create different types of kurtas.
Angarkha Kurtas: One of the most trending styles for kurtas for women is digitally printed Angarkha kurtas. The inspiration for this type of kurta for women dates back to the Mughal era, and it has stayed with us ever since. This beautiful ensemble is a perfect pick for your everyday dazzling office look and also for wedding functions. A classic Angharkha kurta is made with fabrics like soft rayon, silk, or cotton to add to the rich look and feel.
Asymmetrical Kurta: This is one of the most abstract styles of kurtas for women that has a love-hate approval from most of them. On the one hand, the young minds love the creative style, and on the other hand, the boomers reject it for contradicting the traditional setup of the kurta pyjama. I personally do not consider it an odd choice, but, in fact, I own a few of them.
A-line kurtas: A-line kurtas are one of the most common styles of kurtas for women out there in the market. These can be easily styled for an Indian fusion look by just ditching the traditional churidar for denim jeans or leggings. The best part is that you get many prints, patterns, and colours in these A-line kurtas for women.
With so many kurta designs, patterns and materials, women have a lot of options to bring out the inner diva in themselves. Which type of kurtas are your favorite? What do you like the best about them? Do share your views and thoughts in the comments below. We are listening…

Love chikankari and anarkali kurtas, Shilpa! Although A-line mid-lengths are great on jeans too. Did get a few asymmetrical ones but am not a big fan of those. Nice post!
Gorgeous fabrics!
I am a big anakali fan and in that chikankari is my favorite. Infact I have it in my list for my next India trip. These are kurtis are coming in so many designs. And each one of them are very beautiful.
I love kurtas and they are comfort wear …theae days we have a huge variety to choose from and its fun mixing and matching
Lovely kurtas you have shared, Shilpa. I am most comfortable in straight kurtas now. Maybe it’s my age or I look fat in Anarkali or angrakha styles. I had many Anarkalis but outgrew them.
Hey i like this assymetrical kurta. Looks fab. Let me check if i can get this somewhere though i don’t really need office wear.
Wow so many great options. I liked Hand-printed Cotton Kurta most. it look elegant and classy. your post has made me tempted to shop kurtas, here in USA, we did not get much option for Indian outfits.
I love anarkalis, and honestly i miss those days of dressing up and stepping out.
I love the light pink anarkali, so pretty and elegant… definitely something id wear and twirl around in 🙂
Kurtis are the best innovation in fashion, I feel. They’re comfortable, stylish and can be worn by women of all shapes and ages. Anarkali and Chikankaari are my favourite.
I so much love Anarkali Kurtis and this last look not only comfortable but also stylish. Thanks for sharing them.
I am up for Anarkali and A-line kurtas any day, anytime. Thanks for sharing such a wide variety of stylish kurtas. Let me check what I can get in my parcels from India.
These are some really wonderful options. Out of all the outfit styles mentioned here, my favourite has to be the Chikankari kurta and the A-line kurtas.
I live anarkali for the comfort of it and Aline kurtas for their fit n look. They make a perfect office wear.
Angarkha kurta are my favorite. But for office wear I anlways prefer simple printed cotton kurtas as do not want to call for an indirect attention.
Anarkali and Angrakha are definitely any day choice and for the entire day in office it is comfortable, whereas preferably I would wear A line kurtas than anarkali.
I love wearing Kurtis . I love the light pink anarkali, so pretty and elegant… definitely something to have in wardrobe .
