Peak Hour Survival

8-10 AM and 5-8 PM.

These hours are war.

Your kurta set should: * Not have delicate details that snag * Not require constant adjustment * Allow arm movement for holding bars * Be dark enough to hide accidental touches

The AC Factor

Metro AC is serious.

Outside: 28°C Inside: 22°C (feels like 18°C)

Solutions: * Light dupatta as instant shawl * Cotton that doesn't get too cold * Avoid sleeveless for longer commutes

The Seat Strategy

If you get a seat:

Your kurta set should: * Not wrinkle excessively * Have a comfortable rise (no waistband digging) * Allow crossing legs if needed * Look good when you stand up
