Kurtas make every desi girl’s wardrobe so much prettier! A kurta is easy to wear, easy to style and can be worn to so many different occasions. If you thought there aren’t too many different types of kurtas, you’re mistaken girl. Here are 10 styles every girl should own!
10 Different Style Of Kurtas In Trend
1. A Formal Kurta
A formal kurta is one that you can wear to work on a hot summer day and walk in straight for that important board meeting. You need one that’s contemporary, modern in design yet looks Indian, and is SO comfortable!

2. A Shirt Kurta
A collared kurta that is functional and fits well is an essential. It’s a nice break from the round necklines that are usually crowding your closet. Shirt kurtas can also be styled in a more western way – throw on a jacket and add collar cuffs to it, to look absolutely fab!
