Short kurtis for women: Versatile wear that can go with jeans as well as skirts

In the last 70 years, the humble Indian garment- the female kurta - moved from the dusty plains of north-western India and moved across the length and breadth of India. Women as far as Thiruvananthapuram wear this as one of the most practical garments to go about their daily life. Then, some 25 odd years back, the kurta underwent a transformation. The kurta which went right up to the knee, was cut short and now reached just the hip. Suddenly, a rather traditional garment became a hip attire.

Named a kurti, it is often called the ‘daughter of kurta’. It is chic and far more practical than even kurta. It is an ideal college and office wear. It is also versatile garment - you can wear it with a jeans, skirt or even a ghagra. Depending on the fabric, with or without any embroidery, it can transform into a ceremonial wear as well.
