The neckline is the focal point of your kurti, and a great one can elevate a simple outfit instantly. I remember a client who had a wardrobe full of plain round-neck kurtis; we experimented with just one new neckline, and she said it felt like she’d gone on a shopping spree!
Here are two stylish yet surprisingly simple designs to try:
The Mandarin Collar: This high, stand-up collar is a game-changer. It’s structured, chic, and gives off a powerful, slightly androgynous vibe. It looks incredible on straight, Anarkali, and shirt-style kurtis. Pro Tip: For a modern twist, make it in a contrasting color.
The Keyhole Neck: This is my go-to for adding a touch of boho flair without much effort. Instead of stitching the center front closed, leave a small vertical opening (about 2-3 inches) and finish the edges with bias binding. You can add a button loop or a fabric tie for closure. It’s playful and flattering.
Don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone! A unique neckline is the easiest way to make a mass-produced kurti look like a custom designer piece.
