For those who can’t (or won’t)wear saris at weddings for whatever reason, kalidar kurtas are the comfier, trendy and easy option. They are feminine, add grace to your gait and can create a colourful impact with shaded or alternating panels.
Handy tips to wear kalidar kurtas:
- Kalidar kurtas are versatile: you can play with necklines, colours and embroideries.
- Opt for longer kalidar kurtas as hemlines drop this season.
- Team with a churidar; dupatta is optional.

This is really in.. I have seen a couple of people wearing these in my office too, in much subtle shades though!
Really? Like what kinda colours?
Where can I get these from? I live in the UK can I get them online?
Hi Naseema, you can buy kalidar and other kurtas from websites that sell Indian clothes for women. You can try cbazaar.in, jodhpuri.com, or solahshingar.com. They ship to the UK. Also keep track of online sale sites with an India focus. Pret-amoda.com, for example, is an Indian site with Indian products that ships to the UK.
