Anarkali Kurta Set for Women

Ever come out of your room before a wedding and said, “I have a lot of clothes, but none of them fit?” 

This is a common complaint from working women who desire something festive enough for a family function, comfortable enough for long hours, and not too showy.

This is where an Anarkali Kurta Set seamlessly fits in. 

It offers you the elegance of a classic outfit, with the comfort of modern clothing.

What Makes an Anarkali Kurta Set Timeless? 

Women do not like to wear an outfit for a single event. 

Seerat Ethnic, an ethnicwear brand in Jaipur, we have seen that women want to wear something that is suitable for all events. 

They wish to wear them to a wedding, wear them again at a party, and look different every time they style them.

The Anarkali is effective because of its long lines. The same basic shape can be casual, festive, or for a special occasion depending on the fabric, length, and flare.

A cotton Anarkali kurta set is a convenient option for everyday wear. 

An Anarkali kurta set with dupatta is the perfect finishing touch for celebrations without the need for excessive embellishments.

What Are the Different Types of Anarkali Sets? 

Floor-Length Anarkali

A long silhouette will give a long, elegant appearance and is great for wedding events. 

When there is a lot of embroidery on the outfit, it is best to wear it in combination with a small pair of earrings.

Mid-Length Anarkali

One of the more feasible options for working women and newlywed women. It looks great with straight pants, palazzos, or a simple dupatta.

Layered Anarkali

Layers add movement but don't rely on the embellishment. Opt for lighter shades in the day and darker colors in the evening.

Embroidered Anarkali

A simple silhouette can be transformed into an outfit ready for celebration with embroidery. If the detailing is heavy, wear less jewellery and footwear.

Which Anarkali Should You Choose for Different Occasions? 

Women’s! Our advice for you is to think of the occasion first, and the outfit second. This small change can make your shopping experience much easier. 

For wedding events, a party-wear anarkali suit or wedding anarkali dress can help you look more presentable. 

If the event involves travelling, sitting for long periods of time, or moving around with family, a lighter cotton is preferable.

How Can You Choose the Right Anarkali Silhouette? 

“Riya”, a working woman who is getting ready for her cousin's wedding. 

She wanted something traditional but knew that she would be working with guests as they moved between functions, and she would be on her feet for most of the day.

We kept it simple with her; we didn't go for the heaviest outfit, but for the right flare and fabric for each event.

Light Flare Anarkali

Easy to wear and comfortable during the day. It can be very helpful if you wish to achieve an ethnic style without too much bulk.

Medium Flare Anarkali

A good option for holiday parties. Provides movement without being cumbersome when seated or walking.

Full Flare Anarkali

Best for when you want to make a bigger impact with the outfit. 

Don't make the dupatta placement too messy; otherwise, the silhouette will not be visible.

Floor-Length Anarkali

Ideal for weddings and nighttime events. Before deciding on a size, measure the length of the shoes.

Layered Anarkali Designs

Great for when you don't want to use embroidery 100% of the time. They can also be dressed with various dupattas to create a new look. 

Our stylist's practical checklist:

• Do not use your normal size, but instead measure your bust and waist.
• If you're petite or tall, consider the length of the garment.
• Opt for breathable materials for summer activities during the day.
• For versatility, choose a set that has a kurta that can be worn on its own.
• The same Anarkali can be completely transformed with a contrast dupatta.

For example, a contrast dupatta with an Anarkali suit can be worn for a wedding and worn to a minimum for a family dinner.

How to Take Care of an Anarkali Outfit?

The first step to good care is to look at the individual care label of the outfit. 

Generally, cotton fabrics are easier to care for, but embellished, layered, or delicate fabrics may require more care.

• Follow directions for washing the fabric.

• Don't use harsh chemicals in embroidery

• Dry coloured clothes out of direct sunlight

• Folded or on a padded hanger, store heavily embellished pieces

• Never iron over embroidery or decorative work

What Makes an Anarkali Different From Other Ethnic Silhouettes?

An Anarkali has a flowing and flared silhouette, whereas a traditional kurta set for women has a straighter and more structured silhouette. 

The movement of the sharara set for women is primarily in the flared trousers, while the movement of the Anarkali is in the kurta.

For a more formal fabric, an organza kurta set would provide a different texture and structure. Ultimately, it will depend on the amount of movement, volume, and comfort you desire from the outfit.

At Seerat Ethnic, we feel that ethnicwear should be a part of real wardrobes and not just be used for one photo or one wedding.
