Wear a black kurti with black pants or leggings and a statement dupatta for a monochrome look.
With a pair of jeans
Kurtas and jeans are a great combination for an indo-western touch, whether short or long.
With a jacket or shrug
A leather or denim jacket can be paired with a black kurti, but an ethnic jacket or shrug with ethnic motifs is the perfect way to add a pop of colour.
Printed bottoms
Pair a plain black kurti with printed bottoms to add fun and quirk. Make sure the print doesn't seem out of place for the occasion.
