5 Must-Try East Meets West Kurta Looks For Autumn

by Zunera Mazhar

This entire fall season Khaadi has been an ultimate love of mine. I have worn some of their kurtas to gatherings and parties. The outfits exhibit a blend of western fashion with eastern embroidery, which makes them stand out from the crowd. During New York Fashion Week, I wore some of the most stunning outfits by Khaadi.
 Khaadi NYFW -006One of the dresses I wore at NYFW was this lace knee-length dress, which had an intricate floral print. It was the perfect combination of Eastern and Western fashion. The buttons on the sleeves gave more structure to the overall look. I paired the dress with a vintage gold boxy clutch and my Jimmy Choo heels.
Khaadi Pret 1-012On to the kurtas! Well, yes, this lovely piece is by Khaadi as well. The rust colored kurta is available online for just $29 and in all sizes.  This is perfect for a casual day out or a family gathering where you have to dress with traditional flair.
Khaadi Black White Kurta-005Khaadi has a wide variety in Pret Eastern. The monochrome kurta is the perfect example of delicacy and class. The look is chic but also has a classy side to it. I love the kurta and the design because of the low tone blends. You can pair it with white or black heels and the overall look is stunning.  What can I say? This fall season, kurtas will be a major part of my wardrobe. Khaadi High Low Kurta-006The Khaadi High Low Kurta is a mixture of modern design and traditional fashion. I have never worn so many shades of orange, but this color tone is perfect. Bell sleeves are another feature that made me choose this particular kurta. Not to mention, it is only $27 and available online. Khaadi Jacket NYFWeekFinally, this is the most beautiful jacket by Khaadi that I fell in love with. I love the colors and the pattern. The jacket speaks of heritage from the core. The floral design and the vibe to the entire outfit are what had me from the start.

That is it for today, catch you pretty ladies, soon!
