Durga Puja Outfit Ideas with Kurtas and Eco-Friendly Shirts for Men
Men’s fashion, in general, can feel limited, but that is not so, not anymore! There are fashion brands that are pushing the limits and influencers who’re experimenting with silhouettes. While Indian fashion for men already has many fusion pieces (the bandghala or the achkan jacket), they are a little bit more formal than normal. So, how can you make casual fashion fusion? Here’s how:
Can’t go wrong with the classics
The ever-faithful combination of jeans and a kurta will never go out of style. But there’s still room for improvement!
Instead of the usual solid kurtas with minimal embellishment, go all-out for Puja. Style a true Bengali-style kurta with flared jeans (no skinny jeans, they haven’t been in style since the 2010s). Finish this look with Kolhapuri sandals.
Amp it up with a Western waistcoat
The classics are classic for a reason because they just work so well without much modification. Take the kurta set, for instance. It’s already an expected outfit to be worn during special occasions. And it can be made even better!
Taking a cue from Western fashion, pair a dressier kurta with an embroidered waistcoat. For best results, make sure the colours contrast well. It could be a brown kurta with a light green waistcoat. Or a dark red kurta with a light blue waistcoat. The more the colours contrast, the more interesting the look becomes! If you’re confused about pairing colours, you will find enough inspiration on Pinterest.
Lastly, for the bottoms, you can either wear the pyjamas that come with the kurta or go for jeans. You can also wear tailored trousers.
Take a cue from tradition
When you try to buy Indian fusion wear online, you’re bound to come across this combination: dhoti pants with shirts.
Popularized in the last decade by designers like Sabyasachi Mukherjee and Masaba Gupta, dhoti pants are worn by both men and women. It’s comfortable, it connects to Indian heritage, and looks great when paired with organic cotton shirts for men. You can jazz this look up with funky brooches, bracelets, and sneakers. The structure of this look is a blank canvas that you can decorate with your personality.
Mix street styles with Indian fusion
Cargo pants have become a permanent part of the Indian streetwear style code. And it’s not surprising when it’s clear just how comfortable and cool cargo pants are! This Puja, you can take a leaf from streetwear and make it more Indian fusion. Pair black or olive cargo pants with shirts from organic, sustainable fashion brands in India, like StudioRitushar by Suchi. The designs are rooted in Indian culture, so they make a striking contrast with the more practical cargo pants.
