5 Celebrity-Inspired Ways to Rock the Kurta Pajama Look

When it comes to men's traditional apparel, the simple kurta pajama has been around for ages. It is simple, adaptable, and comfortable, and it allows you to move quickly even during hot outdoor celebrations.

 Kurta pajama styles have gradually grown, with an increasing number of guys experimenting with new looks.

As the festive season begins, it's time to take a good hard look at your closet and start putting together some creative kurta pajama combos.

Many kurta pajama styles come and go with each season, but you can choose the current, timeless ones that will last. Who better to learn from than some of India's B-town hotties? 

In this blog we are going to learn how to style kurta pajama dresses from these selected five style icons.

Chunkey Pandey

Chunkey Pandey has always been the style icon for millions of Indians. Be it his young boy charm of 80’s and early 90’s or his matured elegance of 2023, he has been a true B-town star. 

Ananya Pandey’s father wore this look last year during diwali and I feel he did justice to the overall look and theme of the occasion. He chose to wear this Kalamkari silk kurta set in white. 

But white can go too bland for the fun and jocund mood of Diwali.

Hence, to add some color, he chose a kurta with small prints featuring flowers and birds.

He has layered it with our Moroccan Kalamkari Embroidered nehru jacket, and styled with traditional slippers.

Aly Gony

Aly Gony chose to wear our all black Kurta Pajama set in silk fabric during Diwali last year. A plain black kurta is in itself a statement piece; you can obviously layer it up if you want to add color to the ensemble.

That is what Aly has done. To add an element to this all black ensemble, the set comes with a vintage Kashmiri Jacket. The jacket has Sozni embroidery which originally is famous in the valley.

I like how he has kept the accessories to the minimum with only a metallic watch and ring for the lusture, so that the entire attention of people is on the outfit. 

He has styled this with shoes, you can also choose to style it with slippers like Chunkey has done above or traditional punjabi juttis..

Rohit Saraf

Rohit Saraf was seen in our Dori embroidered black kurta. The word Dori means thread, and this form of embroidery work is truly versatile. The versatility comes from the type of thread and the thickness of thread you use.

Rohit has chosen to style this kurta with white pajama for the Durga Puja festival. The length of the kurta is just above the knees which makes it perfect for the puja, aarti and other things associated with the day.

The silk blend fabric and the loose fit makes it comfortable and just perfect for the occasion. You can move freely due to the fabric's breathability and lightweight, allowing you to fully enjoy the festivities. 

Ajmal Khan

So far we have seen all the looks styled for festive occasions. If you love to stay rooted to the traditional Indian craftsmanship even while donning a western attire like jeans or trousers, Ajmal Khan is here to inspire you.

Ajmal has styled this very traditional jacket with a green shirt and brown trousers. Look how the entire outfit is color coordinated and contrasted enough to look soothing to the eyes.

His messy hair brings out his casual and carefree boyish charm. The overall look perfectly mixes modern and traditional style.

If you want some eye-catching contrast, you can add a red or any other brightly colored pocket square and style it with leather shoes or ankle boots.

Rithvik Dhanjani

I love Rithvik’s look because of how carefree and comfortable he looks while wearing it. The black silk kurta set looks peachy on him while the colorful and embroidered nehru jacket takes away all the attention.

He has chosen to keep the nehru jacket unbuttoned, which is not the traditional way of wearing a Nehru Jacket. You can accessorize with a belted watch and pocket square. Don’t forget the sunglasses when going out in the sun

Finally, wear waterproof shoes, such as rubber material sandals, to keep your feet dry and comfortable while enjoying the festivities.

Conclusion

Because the kurta has its roots in traditional India, the styles differ by state and even city. You can choose from a variety of kurta styles, including Hyderabadi, Lucknowi, Sherwani, and Pathani, to mix up your look each time you wear one.

Whether formal or informal, kurta pajama dresses are defined by its fit. A relaxed fit is preferred, meaning it's neither too tight nor too loose. 

It's always best to keep the kurta slack for easy mobility. I hope these popular men in Hollywood and the flair with which they pull off some handsome appearances inspired you.
