Some of the do’s and don’ts when making a the right kurta choice would be as follows:

1. Avoid wearing see-through kurtas without inners or vests.
2. Make sure the kurta falls proportionally and there are no pull at the seams.
3. Do not overload the side pockets of the kurta, as it starts to look sloppy.
4. It is better to go for a jacquard and texture based fabric for a kurta, in case wearing too much embroidery is not in line with your personal style, as the former looks as dressy if styled well.
5. It looks more masculine and slick if the regular kurta sleeves are rolled up.
6. The fit needs to be right and cannot look baggy or oversized.
7. A set of kurta buttons always adds an accent to the entire silhouette.
8. The ideal footwear to go with kurtas would be: Kolhapuris, Peshawari sandals (work ideally with slim pants and salwar lowers), monk straps with breeches as A lower and Juttis.

Longer length and very flared kurtas proportionately look better on tall individuals while the shorter length kurta works better on average to short height individuals. All in all the kurta’s humble yet universal appeal has given it the presence it deserves.
