Printed Kurta Pajamas for Men: A Fresh Trend You Need to Try

“Style is a way to say who you are without having to speak.” – Rachel Zoe

Last Diwali, my cousin showed up wearing a printed kurta pajama for men, floral, and unapologetically bold. And let me tell you, not only did he steal the spotlight, he also got three aunties asking if he was single (he's not, sorry). 

That day, I realized something. Men's ethnic fashion has finally shaken off the dust.

We’re no longer stuck in a sea of plain solids and predictable embroidery. There’s a wave, quiet but powerful—of trending kurta pajama styles sweeping through Indian wardrobes. And at the forefront of it are Prints. Soft, playful, striking, and full of personality.

It’s high time men's ethnic wear needed a makeover

Traditional wear often gets boxed into ‘wedding wear’ or ‘dad’s old kurta from 2003’. But here’s the thing. Modern Indian men (yes, you!) are asking for more. We want to show up to brunch in something that makes a statement. We want to wear culture with a twist.

That’s hw -printed kurta pajamas have gained popularity and have risen in the ranks of trendy outfits to become men’s favourite.

From Mughal-inspired motifs to edgy abstract prints and even quirky animal patterns—there’s a whole new universe of design opening up. And honestly? It’s fun.

The beauty of prints is that they help your personality shine through. They let you break away from the usual without going overboard.

Okay, but how do you wear a printed kurta pajama without looking like your living room upholstery?

That’s a fair question. If you do not pick your prints according to your style, body type, or occasion, you are most likely to fail this very avant-garde look.

Here’s what I’ve learned from styling (and sometimes mis-styling) printed kurtas:

1. Balance is everything.
   If the kurta is bold, keep the pajama muted. White, beige, or even denim works wonders. Think of it like pairing a statement jacket with simple jeans.
   
   

2. Footwear matters.
   Don’t just grab your sneakers and hope for the best. Kolhapuris, mojaris, or even tan loafers can elevate your whole look.
   
   

3. Accessorize smartly.
   A simple watch or a cotton stole can add depth. Just don’t go layering chains unless your name starts with Ranveer and ends with Singh.
   
   

4. Fit is your best friend.
   A beautifully printed kurta won’t save you if it’s hanging off you like a curtain. Tailoring makes the look.

When to wear printed kurta pajamas?

Honestly? Wear printed kurtas anywhere you want to stand out without screaming for attention.

• Festivals like Holi, Eid, or Rakhi
  
  

• Destination weddings (they’re practically begging for prints)
  
  

• Dinner parties (add a Nehru jacket for bonus points)
  
  

• Even casual Fridays at work—yes, really!
  
  

I once wore a handblock printed kurta to a creative pitch meeting. Not only did the client compliment my outfit, but it actually started a conversation about craft and storytelling. 

We bonded over our love for indian handicrafts, and I even ended up closing that deal with a good profit margin. A win-win, if you ask me.

Still unsure? Start here.

If you’re new to prints, start safe. Go for:

• Small floral or geometric prints in earthy tones
  
  

• Indigo or deep green hues—they’re timeless and easy to style
  
  

• Lightweight cotton or linen fabric—it drapes well and feels breathable
  
  

One of my personal favorites? A navy blue kurta with subtle gold buti work. It’s festive enough for events, but not so loud that I feel out of place at a house party.

And trust me, once you try it, you won’t go back to boring basics.

The final word

More and more designers are bringing fresh, print-driven collections into menswear. Celebs are rocking them, sure—but more importantly, real people like us are too. The printed kurta pajama for men isn't just trending—it's becoming a staple.

So if you’ve been hovering over that ‘Add to Cart’ button, take this as your sign. Try the trend. Wear your story

Pair your printed kurta with solid Nehru jackets or asymmetrical hems for a modern edge. Mix prints carefully—unless you’re deliberately going maximalist.
