The changing fashion trends have led to a sea change in the wardrobe of the modern Indian woman. Today’s woman whether she belongs to the corporate world or is a homemaker, is far more conscious of her appearance than ever before. Now willing to experiment with her clothes, she wants to be traditional yet fashionable. A kurta can be very simple, stitched in ordinary fabric yet smart and eye catching. All this depends on the neck- line. A smart neck style can make a salwaar/churidaar kurta stand out. Designers are experimenting with the simple round and V necks-lines and giving it a grand look.

Neck styles can be conservative as well as bold. An orthodox household may not like the ladies of the family wearing very revealing neck-lines, so to look smart they can get outfits with collar necklines whereas a lady from an unorthodox family may wear halters and spaghetti strap kurtas.

There are lots of neck style salwar kameez to experiment from and depending on the occasion one can choose the neck style. The most common ones are round neck, V neck, square neck, glass neck, sweetheart, asymmetrical neckline, collar neck, halter…and the list goes on. To enhance the neckline thread embroidery, patch work or gota work can be done. Buttons can also make the neck style eye catching.

When we think of fashion, we think of Bollywood and vice versa. The Indian film industry is the trend setter for the masses and classes alike all over in India. Keeping the story line in mind and the actress essaying the role, the designer‘s experiment with the neck styles. As the film releases the neck styles is copied by the fans, some fans are smart enough to carry it well whereas some fail. A stylish yet comfortable neck style can make your salwaar/churidaar kurta look smart which when worn will make you look stunning.
