5 Different types of Kurti Suit for Your Body

Here are 5 different body types. Identify which of these categories you fit into and pick a kurti accordingly. 

1. Pear Shaped Body Type

Imagine the pear fruit. Now put that in context with a body shape. If you are someone with narrow shoulders and neck and fuller hips, you fall into a pear-shaped body type. 

People with pear-shaped body types should

• Choose printed Kurtis. Prints will add definition to your upper body making it look structured and fuller. 
• Choose boat necks, collars or square patterns for necklines to capture attention. 
• To deviate attention from slimmer arms, you can go with flared or loose sleeves. 
• As for the Kurti style, Anarkali, A-Line or flared kurtis will suit you best. 
• Pick darker shades in the bottom to avoid catching attention at fuller hips. 
• Lighter shades will help you create an illusion of a fuller torso. Pick lighter-shade kurtis for your wardrobe. 

2. Apple shaped body

If you have a heavier torso and a proportionately slimmer lower body, you fall in the category of an apple-shaped body. People with apple-shaped bodies have fuller arms, big chests, fuller tummy areas and comparatively slim legs. 

People with apple-shaped body types should

• Pick embellished, detailed or V-shaped necklines to balance your broad shoulders. Such necklines add an elongated effect to your torso. 
• Pick dark kurti colours to create an illusion of a slim upper body. 
• A-Line Kurtis is perfect for people with the apple-shaped body. These kurti styles will draw attention to your slimmer lower body and avoid eyeballs towards the torso. 
• Cigarette pants, straight-fit pants and bootcut styles suit this body type the most. 
• Invest in fabrics such as cotton and silk while choosing your kurti style.

3. Hourglass Body shape

Hourglass is considered to be the perfect body shape in the fashion world. It’s easy to style people with hourglass body shapes. If you have a proportionate bust and hips and a narrower waist, you fall into the category of an hourglass body shape. 

You can experiment as much as you want with the styles with this Goddess figure. 

People with hourglass body shapes should,

• Pick a kurtis that adds definition to your waist. This includes fit and flared kurti styles, cinched waist styles and wrap kurti styles. 
• Don’t go for an oversized or clingy fit. Choose a breezy, comfortable fit that fits your body measurements well. 

All in all, you can experiment with colours, prints, styles and fits as much as you want. Be creative and bold enough to experiment. Create an illusion of a tall figure, small chest, narrow waist and more such elements by playing with colours, necklines, fits and style. 

4. Inverted triangle body shape

People with inverted triangle bodies have larger torsos, broad shoulders, small lower bodies and undefined hips and waist. 

People with such body shapes should

• Pick kurtis that don’t cling to the hips. 
• Don’t pick short kurtis. If you do, style it with a skirt or flared pants. 
• Go for maxi and floor-length styles. 
• Pick deep necklines to take away the attention from broad shoulders. 
• Waist-defining kurtis will suit you best. It will create an illusion of a proportionate waist. 
• Be playful with sleeves but don’t add definition towards the shoulders. 

5. Rectangle-shaped Body type

People with proportionate shoulders, hips and waist with no curves fall in the category of rectangle-shaped bodies. 

People with such body types should

• Choose flared and Anarkali styles to add definition at the waist. 
• Pick heavy fabrics to add volume to the body. 
• Boat necks, high necks and scoop neckline kurtis will look great on you. 
• Wear deep necks and broad-neck kurtis.
