Why Summer Kurtas Are a Must-Have in 2025

Let’s face it—when temperatures rise, comfort becomes non-negotiable. But who says you have to compromise on style to stay cool? That’s where summer kurtas step in as true wardrobe heroes. If you’ve ever stood in front of your closet thinking, “I want something stylish but not clingy,” you’re not alone—and you’re in the right place.

At Tanishka Fashion, we’ve seen a growing love for summer-ready kurtis that are not just beautiful, but also practical for everyday wear. Whether you're dressing up for a casual day out or need something breezy for work-from-home comfort, a good kurta ticks all the boxes.

So, why are kurtas the go-to summer essential?

Here’s what makes them a staple in every woman’s closet:

Lightweight & Breathable: Designed using summer-friendly fabrics like cotton and rayon, kurtas keep you cool even on the hottest days.
Effortlessly Stylish: From solid colors to playful printed patterns, they strike the perfect balance between minimal and eye-catching.
Versatile for Any Occasion: Dress them up or down—pair with jeans, palazzos, or even leggings. They're perfect for both a festive look or daily wear.
Figure-Flattering Silhouettes: Cuts like A-line and straight fit offer comfort without compromising on shape or grace.

Not Just Fashion—It’s Function

While western dresses and tunics may come and go with trends, kurtas remain timeless. Their ability to blend ethnic charm with modern aesthetics makes them unbeatable, especially in Indian summers.

So, if you’re building a summer wardrobe that’s both stylish and sensible, make sure it starts with a few well-chosen kurtas. Trust us—your skin, your mood, and your mirror will thank you.

Best Fabrics to Keep You Cool and Stylish This Summer

Choosing the right fabric is key to staying comfortable and looking fabulous in the summer heat. Have you ever wondered why some kurtas feel like a breath of fresh air, while others make you sweat through the day? The secret lies in the fabric!

At Tanishka Fashion, we prioritize breathable materials that blend style with comfort. Here’s a quick guide to the best summer-friendly fabrics you should look for when shopping for your next kurta or ethnic set:

1. Cotton – The Classic Summer Champion

Cotton is unbeatable when it comes to breathability and softness. Its natural fibers allow air to flow freely, absorbing sweat and keeping your skin dry. Plus, cotton kurtas come in a variety of styles, from solid colors to intricate embroidered designs, making them perfect for both casual and festive occasions.

2. Mulmul – Feather-Light and Airy

If you love kurtas that feel like a gentle hug, mulmul is your go-to fabric. This ultra-lightweight cotton variant is incredibly soft and perfect for hot, humid days. Wearing a mulmul kurta means you get both comfort and effortless style without the bulk.

3. Rayon – Soft and Flowing Elegance

Rayon has a silky texture and excellent moisture absorption, which makes it a popular choice for summer kurtis. It drapes beautifully, offering a flattering fit whether you prefer A-line or straight cuts. Rayon kurtas often feature vibrant printed patterns that stay fresh season after season.

4. Linen – The Luxe, Breathable Fabric

Linen is a luxurious choice that’s gaining popularity among summer wear enthusiasts. It’s stronger than cotton but just as breathable, making it ideal for those who want to combine durability with a crisp, clean look. Linen kurtas are perfect for both office wear and casual outings.

Quick Tips to Choose Summer Fabrics:

Opt for natural fibers over synthetics to avoid overheating.
Look for light colors that reflect sunlight instead of absorbing it.
Check for fabrics labeled as breathable or moisture-wicking to maximize comfort.

Choosing the right fabric transforms your kurta from just an outfit to your summer armor against heat and humidity. Next up, let’s explore the styles that complement these fabrics and keep your look fresh and fashionable all season long.

Styling Tips to Elevate Your Summer Kurta Look

Let’s be honest — slipping into a breezy kurta is just the beginning. The real magic lies in how you style it. Whether you're heading out for brunch, a college fest, or a casual workday, smart styling can effortlessly take your look from simple to standout. Ready to make heads turn? Let’s dive into some tried-and-true style tips:

1. Layer Light, Layer Right

Even in summer, layering can be your style weapon — if done right.

Throw on a cotton or chiffon dupatta for an instant ethnic upgrade.
Try a lightweight tunic jacket or shrug over a solid kurta for a modern twist.
Want a fusion vibe? Drape a scarf like a stole for that carefree, artsy look.

🌿 Keep the layers breathable and light. Summer is no place for bulk.

2. Play with Bottoms for Versatility

Your choice of bottomwear can completely transform your kurta game.

Pair A-line kurtas with straight pants or cigarette trousers for a clean, balanced look.
Team straight kurtas with palazzos or even denim for a high-low fusion vibe.
Go for Fit & Flared kurtas with churidars to keep the drama focused up top.

✨ Pro Tip: Coordinate prints subtly or opt for contrast to make your outfit pop.

3. Accessorize Smartly

Accessories can make or break your summer ensemble.

Stick to oxidized silver or wooden jewelry for a rustic charm.
Choose jute or cotton handbags that align with the earthy summer aesthetic.
For footwear, kolhapuris, strappy sandals, or white sneakers blend comfort with cool.

🎀 Keep it minimal. Over-accessorizing during summer can feel (and look) heavy.

4. Choose Co-ord Sets for Effortless Styling

Pressed for time? Co-ord sets are your best friends.

They eliminate guesswork and ensure a cohesive, curated look.
Tanishka Fashion’s summer co-ord collection includes breezy fabrics, muted prints, and flattering fits perfect for warm-weather wear.
Whether it’s for college, work, or casual hangouts, you’ll always look put together without trying too hard.

5. Experiment with Hairstyles and Makeup

Your outfit might be summer-ready — but is your beauty game in sync?

Opt for tied-up hairstyles like braids, buns, or ponytails to stay cool and polished.
Go for dewy, natural makeup with light kajal and tinted lip balm.
Add a small bindi or statement jhumkas if you want a touch of tradition.

💄 Little details matter — they complete your look without adding weight or discomfort.

With just a few styling tweaks, your summer kurtis, ethnic sets, or tunic dresses can do double (or triple!) duty. At Tanishka Fashion, we believe in fashion that adapts, inspires, and empowers — without ever compromising on comfort.

How to Choose the Perfect Kurta for Your Body Type

Ever bought a beautiful kurta online only to feel like something’s just off when you try it on? You're not alone. The secret to looking effortlessly stylish isn’t just about prints or colors — it’s about picking a silhouette that complements your body type.

Here’s how you can find the perfect summer kurta that flatters you from every angle — whether it’s a breezy A-line, a sharp straight fit, or an elegant fit & flared style.

1. For Apple-Shaped Bodies

If you tend to carry more weight around your midsection:

Go for: Flowy A-line kurtas that don’t cling around the waist. Empire-line cuts can draw attention upward.
Avoid: Body-hugging styles or heavy embroidery around the torso.
Style Tip: Pair with straight pants or palazzos to balance the silhouette.

🛍️ Explore airy A-Line kurtas from Tanishka Fashion for breezy elegance this summer.

2. For Pear-Shaped Bodies

If your hips are wider than your shoulders:

Go for: Straight kurtas with detailing on the upper half (like yoke embroidery or printed tunics).
Avoid: Kurtas with flares starting at the hips — it adds unnecessary volume.
Style Tip: Pair with light-colored bottoms to draw focus upward.

✨ Choose prints or solid styles that elongate the frame and keep the look well-balanced.

3. For Hourglass Figures

If your shoulders and hips are balanced with a well-defined waist:

Go for: Fit & flared kurtas or belted ethnic sets that highlight your waist.
Avoid: Boxy silhouettes that hide your natural curves.
Style Tip: Add a dupatta or statement belt to enhance your shape.

💡 Light, printed kurtas with soft drapes are both flattering and breathable in summer.

4. For Rectangle Body Types

If your body is more straight up-and-down:

Go for: Layered or flared tunics and dresses to create dimension.
Avoid: Overly straight silhouettes without structure.
Style Tip: Try co-ord sets with crop tops or asymmetrical hems for a trend-forward look.

🧵 Styling trick: Use accessories to break up the linear frame and add curves visually.

5. For Petite Frames

If you're on the shorter side:

Go for: Shorter kurtis or straight-fit kurtas with vertical prints to elongate your frame.
Avoid: Floor-length or heavily layered pieces that may overwhelm your height.
Style Tip: Pair with ankle-length pants and open-toe sandals to add visual length.
