A great printed kurti does a lot of the work for you — the trick is not to fight it. Here's how to let the print shine without the outfit feeling busy.
Keep the bottoms calm
Pair a bold print with solid, tonal bottoms. Pull one colour from the print — a leaf green, a placket gold — and match your palazzo or pants to it. Our Floral Kurtis and Block Print Kurtis are easy to pair this way.
One hero, not three
Let the kurti be the statement. If the print is busy, skip a printed dupatta and heavy jewellery together — choose one.
Match your metals to the work
If the kurti has sequin or gold embroidery, gold-toned jewellery ties it together; silver suits mirror work.
Mind the scale
Larger prints flatter taller frames; smaller, denser prints are universally easy.
