In modern usage, a short kurta is referred to as the kurti, which is the attire of females. However, traditionally, the term kurti refers to waist coats, jackets and blouses which sit above the waist without side slits, and are believed to have descended from the tunic of the Shunga period (2nd century B.C.). A short kurti, also known as a short kurta, is a traditional Indian garment that is a shorter version of the regular kurti or kurta. It typically ends above the waistline or at the hips, as opposed to the longer kurtas that extend below the hips or down to the knees. Ditch your leggings or churidar for a more comfortable yet fashionable look by pairing your short kurti with palazzo or cigarette pants. This combination is perfect for college, work, or even a casual day out. These pants offer comfort with style and are a great option for a quick wardrobe switch-up.
