Clothing is one of the three basic requirements for the mankind. The most surprising fact is that the men who enjoy most of the privileges as they consider themselves to be the superior over the women, but when it comes to clothing they are far behind in terms of variety and style. Men have to satisfy themselves with a mere trouser-shirt or a Kurta- pyjama. But with the advance in fashion now the men's attire is taking an altogether a turnover. The kurta- pyjama that is considered the most comfortable and the most preferred by men, specially while sleeping as a nightwear is taking a turn in terms of the cuts and appearance and the occasions for which it is worn.

Kurta's are now being branded by various companies and they are becoming the most favourite of the younger generation as they like to team up a smart fitting kurta with a pair of well fitted jeans. Lots of colours and embroidery patterns are being infused with different types of fabrics. Although cotton is the most preferred material used for kurtas, but now kurtas are being made with silk, brocade, georgettes and organza. In fact,no wedding collection of men is complete without the traditional kurta with a twist. Since pyjama forms a major second half of kurta, it has also undergone changes in terms of the stitching and colours. Kurtas are mostly till the knee when worn with the regular pyjama which is actually like a loose trouser but kurtas could also be longer in length when teamed up with a chudidhar type pyjama. The sleeves are usually long with now the embroidery being done at the shoulder level and also a little patteren at the wrists. The traditional kurtas come with a central buttonning facility, but again this is being experimented with by shifting the buttons to the right and the left side too. The type and the look of the button plays a major role in the appearance of the stylish kurta. Permanently fixed buttons as well as the detachable ones are also readily available for use.

Kurtas have also transformed in terms of the full embroidery that comes on the men's kurtas like the chikankari and different textile patterns like batik and tie and die are also common and are being liked by the people using kurtas. Kurtas become very important during the time of festivals as everyone is out there in the market and mall vying for a new piece for themselves so that they could outshine others in terms of the pattern and the look of their kurta. Nothing to beat the kurta with collars, cuffs and a beautiful and intricate design on the kurta's neckline. Kurtas become all the more ravishing when it is teamed up with a smart stole and a dupatta. White and black Patiala Salwar for men is also catching everyone's fancy when they are perfectly teamed up with a contrasting kurta.

It is a known fact that no matter what ever changes fashion might take but kurtas will never be out of fashion for men, simply because when it comes to comfort, nothing can compare and beat a soft, loose and lightweight kurta!
