Men’s Indian Kurta Guide: How to Find the Perfect Fit
How to Choose the Perfect Men’s Kurta for Indian Weddings & Diwali Parties
When you’re invited to an Indian wedding or a Diwali celebration, the kurta is a go-to outfit! But not all kurtas are created equal. The right fit, length, and styling details can take your look from basic to unforgettable. Sharing below some tips to help you shop for the perfect men's Indian kurta:
Fit Is Everything
For formal events, a kurta should be well-fitted but comfortable. Think of it like a tailored shirt — it should drape cleanly across your shoulders and chest without clinging. Baggy kurtas can look sloppy, while overly tight ones take away from the elegance.
The Right Length
A common mistake is going too long. For weddings or parties, the sweet spot is just above the knees. This length elongates your frame and looks sharper, while calf-length kurtas can feel more traditional and less modern.
The Power of the Jacket
Want to elevate your kurta instantly? Add a vest or nehru jacket.
-
A plain silk kurta paired with an embroidered jacket creates a festive, wedding-ready look.
-
Contrast colors — like a cream kurta with a deep gray jacket — add visual interest. Check out our Shastha kurta set for inspiration.
Final Touches
Complete your look with slim trousers and classic juttis or loafers. Keep accessories minimal. The clean lines of a fitted kurta and jacket (and our classic desi boy gold chain) already make the statement.
