The most loved ethnic dress by women are kurtis (also referred to as ‘tunics’). The Indian kurta makes for an elegant ethnic wear that can be worn as a top or tunic where one can enjoy the freedom to move comfortably. Kurtis doesn’t have slits above the waist. And it goes very well with a salwar, palazzo, tights, jeans, pajamas, etc.
Kurtis can be designed in any style with any pattern to make you look good. Usually, Kurti has collars like v-neck, round neck, boat neck, angrakha, asymmetrical, mandarin, keyhole, peter pan, sweetheart, scoop, u-neck, square, off-the-shoulder, pentagon, studded with jewels, etc.
Nowadays, people have been calling Kurta and Kurti the same thing. But earlier it was not referred to as the same clothing. There is not only one but a lot of differences exist between the two. The most common difference is their length. Kurti are short in length while Kurtas are long. A long tunic that reaches to the knee is Kurta. However, a kurti extends only up to the waist. This length difference made the kurti a more comfortable and flexible dress for women to wear.
Another difference is that Kurtas are not only a specific dress for women, but men wear it too. While kurti are only worn by women. Kurta for women is usually made from light and breathable fabric to be worn daily. Kurtis are more for fashion, and hence they are made with designer fabrics like silk, chiffon, georgette, linen, and cotton
