Made for You Kurtas: A Guide to Perfecting Work Wear

A modern working woman is a marvel who manages both her home and work equally efficiently while looking perfect throughout the day. Her workwear needs to be elegant, well-cut, and minimalistic. Kurtas with palazzos in geometrical patterns, a button-down A-line kurta with churidar, a paisley printed kurta with a traditional salwar, and a matching dupatta can work perfectly in any kind of work environment. Custom stitch a kurta in silk in shades like grey, white, or black for formal office events that end at dinner. 

You can wear every colour and design with a touch of imagination to help you maintain a professional workwear aesthetic. So when you pick the best kurtas for your workplace, you need to remember certain basics. Sticking to formal cuts and designs and going low on embellishments is work appropriate. Colour blocking works well. Breathable cotton, linen, and similar fabrics are ideal for you to stay comfortable on a long working day. 

Ways to Wear Kurta Properly 

Here are some pointers on how to wear kurtas properly and slay the work-perfect look.  

1. Go for Simple and Formal

Stay away from wearing elaborately embroidered clothes in the office. Stay away from anything flashy, like glitter or sequins. Wearing simple cuts is the best advice for nailing office fashion. Many kurta styles make a sophisticated and attractive fashion statement. 

Pick kurtas with collars, a boat neck pattern, or a basic yoke design. Without much effort, such patterns appear fantastic and give your workwear plenty of gravitas. You can go for a lakhnavi kurta with light chikankari embroidery on it. Your Kurtas can be minimalistic yet fashionable. Be inspired by the classic evergreen styles, and with the help of the CloudTailor team, get a bespoke formal Kurta made for you.  

2. Choose Colours Wisely

When choosing kurta colours, you can only afford to be on the right side because those colours express your personality. So you can opt for simple hues and get a black kurta pyjama, white kurta, yellow kurta, grey kurta, dark and light blue kurta, pastel hues, or delicate tones like lemon, pista, or baby pink. 

This does not imply that you are limited to these colours. Of course, you can if you want to, but here are some excellent ideas. If you've got a bright colour, you can't get enough of, try to balance it with some earthy hues. You can send in your preferred fabric for stitching or choose conveniently from CloudTailor's fabric marketplace. 

3. Say No to Jeans and Ghararas

Jeans are comfortable. We also concede that wearing a pair of jeans is undoubtedly one of the most relaxing ways to enhance the sense of style while indulging in the utmost comfort. But, if not with your office kurtas, you can only wear your favourite pair of jeans with some things. Fancy outfits like gharara kurta, angarakha kurta and afghani kurta pyjama are not the best choice when looking for office wear. You must own a silk kurta or other stylish kurta sets like a khadi cotton palazzo set or a kurta inspired by men's kurta with side slit pockets and front buttons. Wear a comfortable kurta with a pair of loose pants and minimal accessories to perfect the look.  

Leggings are undoubtedly the best partner for your office kurtas, but try pencil pants or straight pants if you want to stand out from the crowd. They bring in a business-like finesse to a regular salwar kurta set. But, again, the womenswear experts of team CloudTailor can suggest the best pair of pants for your kurta. 
 

4. Dress Formally by Donning A-Line, Straight-Cut, or Short kurtas

Power dressing requires you to make sensible colour and style choices to avoid breaking the corporate dress code. Choose A-line and straight-cut patterns if your build is slim to medium. A pleated style is a good option for plus-size women. Short kurtas and fitting pants are ideal for petite women since they provide the appearance of adding a few inches. Customising a kurta crafted in breezy material featuring a ‘V’ or a round neck, side slits and short sleeves. Pair it with matching trousers. Such a fuss-free option is ideal for a day when you are busy with presentations.  

5. Can't do Sexy

You can fill your closet with fashionable and alluring kurtas, but you should wait to wear them to work. Avoid wearing strappy or backless kurtas to work because they violate the rules of proper corporate attire. However, suppose you must attend a party after work hours and decide to go backless or rock a daring appearance. In that case, you should wear your kurta with a jacket or shrug, which you can take off during the party.

How to Accessorise kurtas for the office?

The technique of power dressing is only complete when you wear a gorgeous kurta to work. It's equally crucial to complete the outfit with appropriate, elegant accessories.  

1. Wear a Simple Dupatta

A dupatta is an essential component of all Indian clothing. You can pair dupattas with your fashionable office kurtas, but only after giving them a little thought. Pick cotton or light silk dupattas in solid colours. There is no harm if they have little buttas or thin jari borders. But remember that you should wear something other than heavily embroidered or printed dupattas to work.  

2. Select Minimalistic Jewellery

While dressing professionally, you can still show off your exquisitely made neck chains and earrings. You can always wear them with kurtas for work. Just focus on the bling you want to incorporate into your professional attire. When going to the office, wearing too many bright colours or bling is best avoided. 

Staying to plain earrings or ear studs while making choices is preferable. For example, you might get a simple neck chain with a pendant: silver, diamonds, platinum and white gold, complement ethnic and fusion wear.  

3. Wear Basic Flats or Comfortable Heels

Kurtas look fantastic when worn with sophisticated, sleek heels. In addition to enhancing your appearance with elegance, heels help you stand taller and project a powerful presence. With formal kurtas, you can wear kitten or short heels to work. Try a pair of stilettos with a kurta-style shirt and pencil pants for the power-woman look. 

Similar to heels, sandals go well with office kurtas. You can choose from various stunning sandal styles to show off at the office. When worn with kurtas, open-toe sandal patterns seem even more gorgeous. 

4. Put on a Watch or a Basic Set of Bangles

Put on a statement watch or a heavy bracelet to slay your Indo-Western office style. Select a watch with a large-ish dial to go with your professional attire. 

5. Avoid Overdoing Your Hair

Hairstyles unquestionably have a significant role in your overall appearance. But what about workplace styling? "Keep things simple," is the response. For example, a clean ponytail or low bun looks lovely with office kurtas. If you have short hair, you can use hair clips to keep them in place.

When it comes to formal attire, the kurta is the preferred option. It provides a level of comfort unmatched by any other workwear. So get a tonne of kurta sewn from skilful tailors from the convenience of home through CloudTailor, and build an impressive kurta collection.
