How to Accessorize Your Kurta Set Like a Stylist (The Tanauri Way)

Let’s admit it—
A kurta set on its own is elegant, but when styled right, it becomes effortlessly unforgettable.

Accessorizing isn’t about piling on jewelry or copying trends. It’s about understanding balance, mood, and occasion—something Tanauri designs its kurta sets for, from the very first stitch.

Whether you’re heading to work, stepping out for brunch, or transitioning into an evening gathering, this guide will show you how to accessorize your kurta set like a professional stylist—without overthinking it.

Let’s style with intention.

Why Accessories Matter More Than You Think

Accessories don’t just “add” to an outfit—they change its personality.

  • Same kurta

  • Same pants

  • Different accessories

  • Entirely different look

That’s why Tanauri’s cotton kurta sets are intentionally designed with versatility—so you can re-style them again and again.

Start With the Kurta: Read the Outfit First

Before reaching for accessories, pause and observe your kurta.

Ask Yourself:

  • Is it printed or embroidered?

  • Is the neckline round, V-shaped, or buttoned?

  • Is the occasion formal, casual, or festive?

Your accessories should support the kurta’s story, not overpower it.
