A short kurti is a tunic that ends between the hip and the knee. It is usually worn with jeans, leggings or trousers and suits casual outings, college and daily wear. Short kurtis come in cotton, rayon and other fabrics.

A short kurta ends at the hip or thigh, while a long kurta reaches the knee or below. Short kurtas pair easily with jeans and leggings. Long kurtas suit traditional looks and pair with palazzo, churidar or straight pants.

A ladies kurti is simply a kurti designed for women. It is usually shorter and more fitted or flowing than a traditional kurta, and comes in many fabrics, prints and embroidery styles, including chikankari.

Popular kurta designs include straight, A-line, anarkali, high-low and angrakha cuts. Neckline choices include round, V, boat and collar styles. Yoke work, side slits and embroidery such as chikankari add detail.

Choose a length you feel comfortable in and that suits what you will pair it with. Hip-length works with jeans, knee-length with leggings or straight pants, and longer lengths with palazzo or churidar.
