How to Style Kurta Sets with Minimal Accessories
Kurta sets have become an everyday favourite for Indian women—and for good reason. They are comfortable, versatile, and effortlessly elegant. Whether you are heading to the office, stepping out for a casual day, or attending a small family function, a well-styled kurta set can make you look graceful without trying too hard.
The best part is that you don’t need heavy jewellery or too many accessories to complete the look. With the right kurta set and a few thoughtful styling choices, minimal accessories are more than enough.
At Sanskriti Vastralaya, we believe ethnic wear should feel easy, wearable, and natural. Here’s how you can style kurta sets beautifully while keeping accessories simple.
Let the Kurta Set Be the Highlight
The foundation of a good look always starts with the outfit. A kurta set with quality fabric, neat stitching, and elegant prints or embroidery already carries its own charm. When the kurta is well designed, you don’t need to add much.
Printed cotton kurta sets are perfect for daily wear and office use, while solid colours with light embroidery work well for festive and formal occasions. Straight-fit and A-line kurta sets especially look graceful with minimal styling.
Keep Jewellery Light and Effortless
When styling kurta sets, simple jewellery always looks more elegant than heavy pieces. Small earrings, delicate studs, or tiny jhumkas are usually enough to complete the look. In many cases, you don’t even need a necklace—especially if the kurta has a detailed neckline.
Light jewellery not only keeps the look clean but also makes the outfit suitable for long hours of wear, whether you’re at work or out for the day.
Use the Dupatta as a Style Element
Instead of adding extra accessories, let the dupatta do the styling for you. A well-draped dupatta can instantly elevate a kurta set. You can wear it casually on one shoulder for a relaxed look or drape it neatly for a more polished appearance.
Kurta sets with beautifully printed or matching dupattas already create a complete look on their own.
Choose Footwear That Complements the Look
Footwear plays a bigger role than most people realise. When accessories are minimal, the right footwear can balance the entire outfit. Simple flats, kolhapuri chappals, juttis, or low block heels pair perfectly with kurta sets.
Neutral colours like tan, beige, or black are easy to match and keep the look refined without drawing too much attention.
Keep Makeup and Hair Natural
Minimal styling works best when makeup and hair are kept soft and natural. A fresh base, light kajal, and a nude or soft pink lip colour are more than enough for most occasions. For hair, open straight or softly wavy hair looks beautiful with kurta sets. A low bun or simple ponytail works well for office wear.
The idea is to look put-together without appearing overdone.
Add One Functional Accessory
Instead of wearing multiple accessories, choose just one useful piece—like a watch or a simple sling bag. A clean watch can replace bangles completely, while a small bag keeps the look practical and stylish.
This approach keeps your outfit comfortable and easy to carry throughout the day.
Why Minimal Styling Works So Well with Kurta Sets
Kurta sets are designed to be graceful and wearable. Over-accessorising often takes away from their natural beauty. Minimal styling keeps the focus on the fabric, prints, and overall silhouette of the outfit.
That’s why kurta sets from Sanskriti Vastralaya are created to look elegant even with very simple styling—perfect for women who prefer comfort with style.
