Stylish cape-style kurtas that add variety to ethnic collections
This year, cape sleeves have taken over the holiday shelves, and it's clear why. Without having to wear a dupatta all night, you can have drama across the arms. When attempting to eat, avoid pinning, slipping, or gripping one end of it. However, not every cape performs the same function.

The maroon floral design is one of the reasons this one has gained so much popularity. When you raise your arms, the three-quarter sleeves are sufficiently wide to mimic a short cloak. It doesn't hang flat; instead, it moves thanks to the pleated calf-length hem.

This kurta has sequin embroidery, which is strewn over a purple foundation with printed ethnic themes, which is what distinguishes this one.

Why Buy:
This one stands out when the entire space is decked out for a sangeet or reception. Sequins on a silk blend never forgive a machine, so be prepared to wash it by hand.

This outfit is the simplest to wear out of the five. Coins and patchwork are grouped around the V-neck of the green and gold Leheriya print. Nothing drags because the high-low hem is positioned slightly above the knee. It has cotton silk underneath and rayon on top.

Why Buy:
This one only merits a spot if there is one special occasion—such as a family wedding or reception where the pictures are preserved. The tissue needs to be cared for during the night because it wrinkles rapidly.

Here, a deep V-neck with mirror work is framed by pure silk, which is unmatched by anything else. Compared to the printed kaftans, the short batwing sleeves read more clearly since they hint at the cape line without the complete sweep. Solid palazzos below and knee-length on top, both in the same royal blue.

Why Buy:
Only order this one if you are looking for genuine silk. The Varanga, which offers a comparable line with significantly lower risk, is better for everyone else.
Shopping for festive clothing can frequently feel like a guessing game where you have to match silhouettes to the appropriate mood. The Sangria at a midday meal and the House of Pataudi at a reception are not performing the same function, so choose based on the occasion rather than the print. Colours of Earth is the place to go if you want real silk; the Libas will carry the greatest variety of events, and the Varanga will handle the dressy evenings. Festive clothing runs out fast; therefore, it makes sense to order from Myntra as soon as feasible. Shop now on Myntra.
