Six Kurti Styles That Work in an Office
Straight cuts, collars and the right trouser — dressing for work without reaching for a blazer.
A kurti reads as formal or casual depending on its cut and what sits under it.
- Straight cotton kurti with tapered trousers — the safest formal pairing.
- Collared shirt kurti, which needs no dupatta to look finished.
- Chanderi kurta over cigarette pants for a client meeting.
- Linen straight kurti in summer, creases and all.
- Angrakha in a plain colour, which is formal without being stiff.
- Rayon kurti when you will be sitting all day and cannot afford creases.
Keep the print small and the jewellery quiet. Length below the knee usually reads more formal than above it.
