. The New Geometry: Abstract and Linear Prints
While florals will always hold a place, the biggest surge we see for 2026 is in bold, sophisticated geometric and abstract prints. Think sharp lines, contemporary colour-blocking, and minimalist linear patterns. This is the kurti style guide for the modern, professional woman.
-
Why it's trending: It bridges the gap between traditional ethnic wear and structured corporate attire, offering a polished, artistic look.
-
How to wear it: Pair a straight-cut geometric Kurti with Cigarette Pants or Fitted Trousers for a sharp, powerful silhouette.
-
Shop the Trend: Browse our entire Kurtis Collection where modern art meets everyday wear, especially focusing on A-Line and Straight cuts for a crisp look.
2. The Luxurious Comfort of Vanilla & Muted Berry Hues
Colour is everything. Moving away from overly bright neons, 2026 is embracing subdued yet rich tones. Look out for the rise of Vanilla Yellow (a soft, almost neutral cream) and deep Muted Berry (a sophisticated grey-purple).
-
Why it's trending: These colors look expensive. They offer the elegance of neutrals with just enough warmth and depth to stand out, making them ideal for all-day wear and evening events.
-
Fabric Focus: These colours work best on fabrics that drape well, like Rayon or Viscose blends.
-
Styling Tip: A Vanilla Kurti pairs beautifully with a deep Muted Berry Dupatta for a contrasting yet cohesive look.
3. The Return of Regal Sleeves: Bell, Balloon, and Bishop
Sleeves are no longer just functional; they're the statement of the entire kurti design. For 2026, volume is king. We are seeing a major revival of historical and romantic sleeve styles:
-
Bishop Sleeves: Fitted at the wrist with billowy volume, perfect for Top Wear tunics.
-
Flared/Bell Sleeves: Offering a dramatic, free-flowing silhouette, often seen on Anarkali styles.
-
The Key: The drama should be in the sleeve, keeping the rest of the Kurti simple.
-
Shop the Trend: Discover these statement pieces in our Top Wear Collection, which features trendy tunics and tops designed for comfort and flair.
4. Texture Over Bling: Embroidered Co-Ord Sets
The fuss of heavy mirror work is being replaced by the tactile elegance of tonal embroidery and premium textures. The Co-ord Set (matching Kurti and Bottoms) continues its dominance, but with a focus on Chikankari, intricate threadwork, and subtle self-patterns.
-
Why it's trending: It’s effortless style. A matching set eliminates guesswork while the texture provides depth and sophistication suitable for office, dinner, or travel.
-
The Go-To Set: A monochrome, embroidered Kurta Set is a must-have piece among the types of kurtis for women.
-
Must-Have: Every collection should feature a top-selling Kurta Set that champions this blend of comfort and elegance. You can explore our highest-rated styles in the Best Seller Collection.
5. The Maxi Kurti-Dress: One-and-Done Style
This trend is driven by the demand for maximum style with minimum effort. Long, flowing, full-length Maxi Kurtis or Kurti-Dresses act as a complete outfit. Look for styles with tiered hemlines, high slits, or soft cinching at the waist.
-
Why it's trending: It’s incredibly comfortable and perfectly adheres to the global fashion shift towards fluid, easy silhouettes.
-
Styling Tip: Accessorise these with heavy silver jewellery to anchor the flowy fabric.
-
