The Plus One Guide: Why He Needs a Proper Kurta Set Too

Read time: 3 min · Last updated: 2026-01-16

If you’re wearing one of our premium kurta sets and your partner is wearing a t-shirt and jeans to a family function, you don't look like a "Couple." You look like a "Mistake."

Most men avoid ethnic wear because they think it’s: 1. Itchy. 2. "Too much." 3. Uncomfortable.

But a proper, high-quality men's kurta set (the kind that matches the quality of our women's collection) is actually more comfortable than a Western suit. It’s "Masculine Minimalism" at its best.

The "Non-Costume" Style for Men

The reason men hate kurtas is they often buy the ones that look like a "Costume." Too much shiny embroidery. Too much "Bling." * The Move: Stick to "Solids with a Twist." A deep Navy or Forest Green set in a high-quality cotton or silk-blend. * The Detail: Maybe a little bit of embroidery on the collar or the cuffs. Minimal. Structured. Like a well-made shirt.

Coordination (Not Twinning)

Don't make him wear the exact same print as you. He isn't your accessory. * Do: Coordinate the Color Palette. If you’re in a Teal Floral set, he can wear a Solid Teal or a Dark Green set. In photos, the colors will "Bond" but the styles will remain distinct. That’s how "Power Couples" do it.

The Bottom Line: Pajamas vs. Pants

Most cheap men's kurtas come with those loose, baggie white pajamas. They look like nightwear. * The Modern Move: Wear the kurta with "Aligarh" style pants (slim fit) or even high-quality trousers. * The Why: It gives him a "Leaner" and more "Athletic" look.

Why Quality Fabric Matters for Him

Men sweat. A lot. If he wears a cheap synthetic kurta, he’ll be miserable in 20 minutes. He’ll want to leave. He’ll be cranky. If he wears a high-thread-count cotton set from Saroj Jain, he’ll stay cool. He’ll stay in the party. He’ll let you take "one more photo."

FAQs

Q: Can men wear jewelry with kurtas? A: A simple watch and maybe a gold chain inside the collar is enough. Anything more can start looking like a "Bollywood Extra" look.

Q: Juttis or Loafers? A: Both work. Loafers give it a more "Modern/Western" fusion vibe. Juttis are for the traditional purist.

Q: Should the kurta be short or long? A: For a wedding/event, long (below the knee) is more formal. Short kurtas are for casual brunches or "Holi" type events.
