It’s that separate you reach out for whenever you find yourself in a fashion fix. Bored of wearing button-downs to work? You can’t go wrong with a featherlight chikankari kurta. Done with dresses for dinner? Switch things up with a midnight kurta (preferably the kind that comes scattered with shine) and a pair of tailored trousers. Seriously, there’s an iteration for every occasion—meetings to the many festivities you have circled on your calendar—and we recommend adding each one to your cart. In a palette made up of the prettiest pastel and inky hues, these are the kurtas we’re counting on for the coming season.
