What’s New in Kurtis: Trending Cuts, Prints & Fabrics
Kurtis have always been a staple in Indian fashion. Comfortable, stylish, and versatile, they bridge the gap between ethnic elegance and everyday practicality. But in 2025, the humble kurti has undergone a serious fashion makeover. With global fashion influences, smarter tailoring, sustainable choices, and digital-first designs, kurtis today are bolder, edgier, and more diverse than ever.
If you’ve been wondering what’s new in the world of kurtis, this blog is your complete guide. From fresh silhouettes and contemporary prints to innovative fabrics, we're diving into the biggest kurti trends that are redefining ethnic wear this year.
And as always, Mayank Fashion, a leading name in ethnic fashion, is at the forefront of these trends—blending heritage with modernity in every thread.
1. Trending Kurti Cuts in 2025
Let’s start with the shapes and silhouettes. While classics like straight-cut and A-line kurtis are still relevant, 2025 has introduced several new cuts that have captured the attention of designers and customers alike.
A. Angrakha Revival
This overlapping wrap-style cut, traditionally seen in royal attire, has made a modern comeback. In 2025, Angrakha kurtis are being styled with asymmetric hems, contrasting tie-up details, and metallic trims—making them perfect for fusion wear.
B. Kaftan-Inspired Kurtis
Kaftan-style kurtis are ideal for those who value both comfort and flair. Loose, flowy, and often detailed with thread work or mirror accents, these kurtis are perfect for summer or destination wear. Mayank Fashion’s Kaftan Edit offers breezy silhouettes in vibrant hues that suit every body type.
C. High-Low Hemlines
High-low kurtis—shorter in the front, longer at the back—are a playful yet polished option for casual and semi-formal looks. They work beautifully with leggings, jeans, or even dhoti pants for a bold Indo-western vibe.
D. Jacket-Style Kurtis
2025 is also witnessing the rise of layered ethnic wear. Jacket-style kurtis feature either a stitched-on outer layer or a detachable ethnic jacket, which adds dimension and sophistication to the outfit.
E. Slit Mania
Side slits are being taken to the next level. Extra-long slits, front slits, and even double side slits are now common in modern kurti designs. These not only add drama but also create a flattering silhouette when paired with wide-legged bottoms or palazzos.
2. Print Trends to Watch
Prints are where designers are truly experimenting in 2025. Beyond the typical florals and paisleys, we're seeing an influx of global and contemporary patterns that speak to a younger audience.
A. Abstract Geometry
Modern prints like overlapping lines, triangles, and pixelated motifs are replacing conventional motifs. These geometric patterns create a sharp, urban look ideal for office wear or city outings.
B. Hand-Block and Dabu Revival
Artisan techniques like hand-block printing and dabu resist-dyeing are trending not just as sustainable choices but as style statements. These prints look especially striking on earthy fabrics like cotton and mulmul.
C. Botanical Prints
Think beyond flowers—2025 is seeing a rise in leafy vines, palm fronds, and even cactus prints in soft pastels and watercolors. These prints bring a refreshing, eco-conscious aesthetic to summer kurtis.
D. Digital Art
High-definition digital printing allows for photographic clarity on fabric. Whether it’s Mughal miniatures, tribal art, or urban graffiti, kurtis today are turning into literal canvases of art. Mayank Fashion's new digital print series reflects this trend beautifully, blending Indian themes with contemporary aesthetics.
E. Monochrome Magic
Black-and-white never goes out of style. Monochrome kurtis with simple block patterns, checks, or stripes are ruling the charts this year, especially in minimalistic wardrobes.
3. Fabric Innovations for Comfort & Style
Fabric trends are shifting from solely aesthetics to functionality, sustainability, and feel. Here’s what’s new in 2025:
A. Sustainable Fabrics
Eco-conscious fashion is no longer niche—it’s the norm. Organic cotton, bamboo viscose, and hemp fabrics are now being used for kurtis, making them breathable, biodegradable, and stylish. Mayank Fashion has been a pioneer in integrating eco-friendly fabrics into their ethnic collections without compromising on design.
B. Soft Muslin & Mulmul
For those who love lightweight, skin-friendly textiles, muslin and mulmul kurtis are perfect. They’re ideal for Indian summers and lend a gentle drape that enhances the silhouette.
C. Crushed and Crinkled Textures
From crinkle cotton to textured viscose blends, 2025 is loving fabrics that don’t need ironing and still look chic. These fabrics are low-maintenance and great for travel.
D. Linen-Blend Luxury
Linen kurtis are having a moment this year. Blended with cotton or rayon to soften the texture, they give a structured yet breathable finish—perfect for office wear or formal brunches.
E. Sheer Panels & Mesh Inserts
Mesh sleeves, sheer yokes, or transparent borders on the hemline are bringing a bold, modern twist to otherwise traditional fabrics.
4. Kurti Styling Trends for Different Occasions
A. Office & Workwear
In 2025, power dressing is all about sleek kurtis in solid shades, minimal embellishments, and subtle details like Mandarin collars, princess cuts, or cuffed sleeves. Pair these with cigarette pants or structured trousers and add a tote bag to complete the look.
B. Wedding & Festive Wear
Festive kurtis are getting glamorous makeovers. Expect to see foils made of silk, velvet, and brocade fabrics, as well as Gota Patti, Mirror Work, and Rich Zardozi. Mayank Fashion’s festive collection includes heavily embellished kurtis that double up as statement pieces for intimate weddings or sangeet nights.
C. Casual Daily Wear
Lightweight cotton kurtis with fun prints or minimal embroidery are perfect for errands, lunches, or casual home wear. Pair them with Jeggings or Culottes for a relaxed but look.
D. Indo-Western Fusion
Want to shake things up? Pair a bold kurti with a denim jacket, sneakers, or a belt bag. High-slit kurtis worn with jeans and boots make for an edgy Indo-western ensemble that resonates with younger audiences.
5. Color Palette: What’s Hot in 2025
