But designers are a creative species who love to break through traditional notions and that is exactly what they have done with the commonplace Indian kurta.

There is now a spin to the kurta which has usually been worn as a traditional garment in India. Men have worn the kurta in their homes in cotton or khadi fabrics, to feel relaxed during their personal time. The kurta has also been worn in silk or khadi silk, during weddings and festivals. But now, the kurta can be sported while going to a nightclub.

To pull together a successful club wear outfit you must infuse your personal style into the ensemble. Your club wear will always be more adventurous than anything you wear to ...
... work and weekends are perfect for you to express yourself through fashion. In its fashionable version, the usual knee length (or longer) Indian kurta has been shortened to the length reaching mid-thigh or above.

The neck shape and style of the kurta has been retained and the sleeves modified. The Nehru collar and roll-up sleeves draw attention to a man’s strong bone structure.
