It is a loose shirt falling either just above or somewhere below the knees of the wearer, and is worn by both men and women. They were traditionally worn with loose-fitting paijama (kurta-paijama), loose-fitting salwars, tight-fitting churidars, or wrapped-around dhotis;[1] but are now also worn with jeans.[2] Kurtas are worn both as casual everyday wear and as formal dress. A kurta is also referred to as a panjabi, (usually spelled lower-case) in Bengal, Britain, and Canada.[3]
Women often wear kurtis as blouses, usually over jeans.[2] These kurtis are typically much shorter than the traditional garments and made with a lighter materials, like those used in sewing kameez.
