An Evergreen Classic

Classics stand the test of time. That is why, no matter how creative we get with ethnic outfits, nothing beats a classic dhoti-kurta combination.

In fact, there are several songs in Bollywood, which celebrate the humble dhoti.

Vijay Deverakonda

Just take a good hard look at that printed dhoti that Vijay is wearing, and tell us how cool it is. Vijay has some serious style moves. Clearly, we ought to be taking lessons from him.

Rana Daggubati

Although Rana was mostly dressed in mundus, panche, and lungis for his wedding, he did wear a really sublime dhoti-kurta set. The beige coloured kurta and dhoti had a very quaint and simple texture.

Varun Dhawan

Varun Dhawan gave the kurta his own twist. The pink buttoned kurta, actually goes well with the dhoti pants that he’s wearing. We also like his choice of adding a nice pair of Chelsea boots to the mix

Raftaar

Raftaar, who is usually spotted in suits, tracksuits and the best of streetwear, looked dope in this kurta and dhoti. And don’t miss those embossed mojaris he’s wearing.

Nagarjuna

Again, a classic and timeless pairing. Nothing, and we mean nothing beats the panache of a crisp white kurta with a white dhoti that has embroidered borders. Nagarjuna rocked the heck out of this ensemble

Aparshakti Khurana

This is how you take a simple dhoti to the next level. We really like the choice of Aparshakti's katha-stitched kurta and that simple bandi. We also like how he has paired it with a Balenciaga sock sneakers.

Jackie Shroff

We love the juxtaposition of the simple, plain white kurta & dhoti, with the colourful & kitschy dupatta/shawl that Jackie Shroff has draped around his shoulders. Also, don’t miss those classic Kolhapuri slippers.
