Angrakha Kurti in ancient times was worn by the musicians of the royal court. This Kurta was worn like a jacket and has two contrasting or similar flaps that lay on each other and are tied together at the side of the chest with the help of dori or straps. The dori of the Kurta has small Latkaan, tassels or pom-poms at the end to add more glamour to the attire. Now, in the modern world, the trend is worn by women on an almost daily basis. The Kurti makes great casual wear or office wear and can be paired with leggings or churidars. The heavier version of Anghrakha is generally worn at formal events and parties and paired with appropriate jewelry and bag. But the most worn Anghrakh Kurti is at weddings in bright colors and paired with pants, leggings, churidars, skirts or palazzos.
The Angrakha can be accessorized with slings, totes, potli bags and one can complete the look with apt jewels like dangle earrings, valuable jewelry like diamonds and gold, or oxidized jewelry that looks funky. The Kurtis come in various fabrics like Chiffon, Georgette, Net, cotton, Chanderi, and silk, making it wearable in all seasons.
