Printed Oversized Shirts Are Stealing the Spotlight This Festive Season!
Festive season means time to refresh our wardrobe. It’s that time of the year where shopping turns into a ritual. Ethnic wear is sold like never before. For women, it’s like a carnival to buy sarees, lehengas, Anarkali suits, salwar suits, fusion wear and much more. And for men? Well, the only option is Kurtas!
Yes, most men end up wearing kurtas for every festive occasion – be it a wedding, Diwali party, family get-together or pooja. However, repeating them every season in similar styles and colours, can start to feel stale. The fashion- forward crowd wants something new, may be a statement piece instead of sameness. The spotlight is therefore shifting to something more comfortable, stylish and versatile – the oversized shirts.
Available in various prints and style, they are a new festive game changer. Did you know the latest trend in the category is zippered oversized shirts? They are trendy and versatile for every occasion. Take a look.
Why It’s Time to End the Kurta Monopoly
Kurtas have long dominated festive wardrobes. But they look old fashioned and are uncomfortable. It's therefore time to say goodbye to the same-old kurta looks, and welcome oversized printed shirts - the breathable, comfortable, and stylish festive outfit. Here’s why -
Kurtas are too restrictive for modern life
Many kurtas are tailored, fitted, or stiff. They are less ideal for all-day wear, especially when you have dinners, parties, or informal gatherings lined up. Don’t you want your outfit to be comfortable as it is festive? Your best bet is oversized shirts.
Trend shifts are inevitable
Fashion is cyclical. Just as fusion lehengas and Indo-western silhouettes challenged classic sarees, oversized shirts are now challenging the kurta’s dominance.
Breathability & comfort
Loose cuts make oversized shirts perfect for warm weather or long events. You don’t feel boxed in or overheated. Wear them for office Diwali parties and you can feel comfortable the whole day and look stylish too.
Statement prints & textures
Available in bold patterns, geometric motifs, block prints, abstract art, the shirt becomes the focal piece. They don’t look boring like kurtas or solid shirts and not even too casual like denim shirts. They are a perfect festive companion that provide the right balance of festival vibe and comfort. And of course, a lot of compliments.
Versatility & layering
You can wear them as standalone shirts, half-tucked, belted, or use them as layer over a tee. They can also be layered under a jacket. They adapt to the mood of the event.
Modern festive energy
They break tradition in a fresh, stylish way. Instead of just being “ethnic”, they become crossover pieces that speak to both tradition and contemporary flair. They are also available in new zippered style. Check it out.
