  • Statement Earrings

 

 

Earrings when paired with a kurta is like fitting a missing piece of puzzle, it completes the look beautifully.

  • Colourful Dupattas and Stoles

 

 

Playing with colours shouldn't just be a thing for Holi, instead you must incorporate it while styling too! If you wish to add some pop of colours to your outfit without looking over the top, then you can pair your modern kurti with colourful dupattas and stoles.

The most simplest way to style dupattas or stoles with bold prints or work is to pair it with a plain kurta. With this, you strike the right balance and effortlessly achieve a head-turning look.
