Kurtas for Every Body Type

Which is Your Body Shape?

Oval

For the Pear-Shaped Girl

Your Figure: Narrow shoulders with slim arms and neck, and

broader hips, thighs and legs

What You Need

The trick is to showcase your upper body.

So the ubiquitous anarkali can easily be your sartorial BFF. Opt

for longer hemlines, as they will add length to your body type.

Embellished bodices are great, as they will highlight your lean

upper body.

Play with necklines for maximum impact.

A kurta worn with a koti jacket will elevate the look.

Stay away from figure hugging fabrics as they can make your

hips and thighs look seem wider than they are.

If You Have an Athletic Body

Your Figure: A slim and straight figure with few curves

What You Need

With a body type like yours, you rarely have to battle “what to wear” issues as

you can pull off pretty much everything with effortless ease

So while you should definitely stock up on basics, don’t be afraid to

experiment with your kurtas too.

Play around with draped styles and cutouts too.

Don’t shy away from deep necklines and strappy styles to highlight your

shoulders either.

Short flared kurtas worn with slim pants will look great on you as well.

When You Have an Apple-Shaped Body

Your Figure: A big chest and round tummy with slim legs and hips

What You Need

Flowy cuts to camouflage your heavy mid-region as well as A-

line kurtas, pleats and gathers work well.

Opt for churidars or slim pants over salwars so that you can flaunt your

toned legs.

Short kurtas are a good idea too, so that your legs can be highlighted.

It’s best to wear your dupatta over one shoulder than around your neck

as this distracts from your heavy torso.

Save dark colours for the top and light colours for the bottom.

Avoid bandhgalas, heavily embellished yokes or anything too fitted and

give your vote to V-necks instead.

If You’re a Girl with an Hourglass Figure

Your Figure: A narrow waist and wider hips and bust – every woman’s dream!

What You Need

We say that if you’ve got it flaunt it! Use your kurta silhouettes to highlight

your assets.

Which means should stay away from voluminous, all-

encompassing anarkalis as their baggy fit will drown all your sexy curves.

Structured, well-fitted kurtas, which accentuate your contours, as well as

empire cuts, are your best bets.

Remember to stick to lightweight fabrics only.

If You Have a Petite Frame

Your figure: You’re short and you have a narrow frame

What You Need

While you should use your kurtas to put your slim body on display, you

should also look at adding some volume to your frame.

Opt for halters, off- shoulders or bold sleeves and necklines to highlight your

assets.

Go with silhouettes with a flowy bottom half to add some bulk to your body.

Avoid kurtas that end mid-thigh as they will cut your body awkwardly and

make you look shorter.

So either pick long lengths or very short ones that end at your upper thigh.

You can play with large prints, embellishments, layering and colours too in

order to create a sense of “largeness”.

For the Girl Who Has a Fuller Figure

Your Figure: Very curvy body, with a voluptuous bust and butt

What You Need

Straight-cut kurtas (the longer the better) are ideal for those with fuller figures.

Kaftans can be your go-to as well.

As far as possible, try and wear the same colour head-to-toe as it makes for a

slimming look. Ditto for dark colours.

Large prints won’t work in your favour as they will make you broader and curvier

than you are.

Strike a balance between too tight and too loose, and always make sure your wrists

and collarbones are visible; high necklines are best avoided as they can make you

look bulky and top-heavy.
