6 Punjabi Kurta Styles for Men and Women to Flaunt This Wedding Season
Punjabis look good in whatever they deem to wear, though their clothes are just as smart as they are. Even the simplest Punjabi kurta is smart as it can be. Makes you want to try one, doesn't it?
As guests at a wedding everyone wants to be dressed to impress, but also everyone wants to make sure that they are not too heavily dressed. The balance between looking good and not overdressing is something we all wish to strike as guests at a wedding. A Punjabi kurta affords this amazing combination that all of us crave for, and why not? Punjabis are one of the most smartly dressed people. Every function you go to a Punjabi kurta affords the stylishness that you need to stand out without looking too over the top. The absolutely amazing part is that one says Punjabi kurta, no one knows if they are talking for a male or a female. So why not try this formula that everyone seems to swear by.
1. Colours For A Wedding

The two most obvious choice of colours when it comes to a wedding is red and gold. Combining these two colours for a wedding function outfit is the natural second step. This Punjabi kurta paired as a Sharara would look totally bedazzling to don for a day or a night function. The red would look superb in daylight and the gold would give a dazzling effect in the night.
Occasions: Wear this kurta for the Engagement or the Sangeet function. Avoid it for the Shaadi as you have a high chance of clashing with the bride.
2. The Asymmetrical Look
Symmetry is something of yesterday. What is in now and today is unevenness. To give us a little break from the kurtas we see all around asymmetrical kurtas are all the rage. They look traditional enough but while still breaking the stereotypes of what traditional looks like. Plus, the bottle green colour is the perfect colour to make this piece of cloth look rich.
Occasion: Try out this Punjabi kurta for one of the morning functions, and let the sunlight bring the colour out.
3. White Chikankari
The best thing about the colour white is that it looks good on everyone. So, get the two most amazing things known to us for clothes and bring them together. The white Chikankari Punjabi kurta would certainly be the elegant solution to all your problems. It is also one of the heavier Punjabi kurta’s, but why not, it is never a bad thing to be a little extra sometimes.
Occasions: Don on this kurta for the wedding or reception. Let your Chikankari outshine other people.
4. Down The Simple Road

My favourite thing about this kurta is that it is as simple as it can be, but looks wonderfully attractive. This is the real Punjabi kurta that we are talking about, the one that has no added properties, but makes you look attractive enough to turn heads. Additionally, the light colour of the kurta makes it look subtler and that speaks for it.
Occasion: The morning functions are a perfect place to wear this kurta, as the light colour would be best displayed in the morning light.
5. The Sunshine

A number of people find yellow colour too bright, but it is a colour that suits all Indian skin tones. It also makes you look brighter than you actually are, and even makes you seem like you are glowing. The white on yellow combination rarely goes wrong and the otherwise simple attire, looks understated but function ready for any guest.
Occasion: You can carry out this dress for the engagement or the Mehndi function and look totally in place.
6. Flare It Up
Now the real question is why should women have all the fun? Flaring of a kurta is usually seen in a woman’s attire but why so? Even when men wear it, it looks marvellous, and let’s just all admit it, that it is pretty fun to wear something like this. It affords comfort and freedom and looks pretty rad from all the normal kurtas that one wears.
Occasion: Wear it to the Mehndi or Sangeet, someplace that you can dance and show off this style.
Though the number might be small, we see why a Punjabi kurta can be the perfect choice for both men and women to wear as a guest to any wedding and wedding function. It is not just A+ in smartness but also in comfort, what is greater than both these things?
When do you plan to break out your 'hatke' Punjabi kurta for the functions?
