The kurta pyjama is the male counterpart of the feminine salwar kameez
and the preferred mode of dressing for the Indian male. The reasons for this
are not too far to seek. Highly comfortable and eminently suited to all
climatic conditions, its use is widespread throughout the Indian subcontinent.
History
The term kurta is a
generic term used in South Asia for several forms of upper garments for men with regional variations of form. The word "kurta" is a borrowing from Hindustani, originally from Persian and was first used in English in the 20th century.
As the Thawb is encouraged to be
worn in Saudi Arabia, Pakistani and Indian expatriates rather prefer to wear
the Kurta as a close and same version to the Arab clothing.
Kurtas are worn both as casual
everyday wear and as formal dress.
It is a loose shirt falling
either just above or somewhere below the knees of the wearer, and is worn by
men. They were traditionally worn with loose-fitting pyjama.

A traditional kurta consists of
rectangular fabric pieces with perhaps a few gusset inserts, and is cut
so as to leave no wasted fabric. The cut is usually simple, although decorative
treatments can be elaborate.
The sleeves of a traditional
kurta fall straight to the wrist; they do not narrow, as do many Western-cut
sleeves. Sleeves are not cuffed, just hemmed and decorated.
The front and back pieces of a
simple kurta are also rectangular. The side seams are left open for
6-12 inches above the hem, which gives the wearer some ease of movement.
The kurta usually opens in the
front; some styles, however, button at the shoulder seam. The front opening is
often a hemmed slit in the fabric, tied or buttoned at the top; some kurtas,
however, have plackets
rather than slits. The opening may be centered on the chest, or positioned off
center.
A traditional kurta does not have
a collar. Modern variants may feature stand-up collars of the type known to
tailors and seamstresses as "mandarin" collars. These are the same
sort of collars seen on achkans,
sherwanis, and Nehru jackets.
Indian subcontinent has a very
popular styling of Mukatsari kurta (getting its origin from the province of
Mukatsar in Punjab (India)) which is famous for its slim fitting cuts and smart
fit designs. It is very popular among young politicians.
Material
Kurtas worn in the summer months
are usually made of thin silk or cotton fabrics; winter season kurtas are made of thicker
fabric such as wool
or Khadi silk, a
thick, coarse, handspun and handwoven silk that may be mixed with other fibers.
A very common fabric for kurta pajama these days is linen, or linen cotton mix
ideal for both summers and winters.

wear but Designer Kurta is used as a weddingwear. It is now in latest trend in
