Silk Kurtis is an increasingly popular garment from India that is now worn more and more here in the West. This can perhaps most easily be described as either a short dress, or a long top. Either way, it can be worn over the top of trousers or over a skirt, and won’t look out of place.
Other aspects of the kurti include the deep, horseshoe neckline, and the lack of sleeves. That said, kurti tops now come in a variety of styles and almost all the ‘rules’ are broken at some point or another!
The silk kurti is of course just such an item, but is by definition made from silk. Silk kurtis have all the advantages of any other kurtis, only they are also incredibly soft and comfortable to wear and to touch, and have a shimmering color and flowing texture. Because the kurtis is often worn over other items of clothing, it is well suited to this lighter material.
