Cotton Kurti with Lace Trim

One idea, done well: plain cotton with lace. The kurti is trimmed with white or off-white lace at the neckline, sleeve hems and borders, in the colour shown in the photos. The lace pattern pictured, whether floral, geometric or scalloped, is what arrives.

The cotton is soft and breathable for warm weather. The cut is easy and loose, with the neckline and sleeve length shown in the photos. Sizes run from S to XXL.

• Fabric: cotton

Leggings, a churidar or palazzos keep it ethnic; denim makes it casual. Flat sandals or juttis for everyday, block heels for an occasion, and delicate gold hoops to echo the lace. Wash it separately the first few times so the base colour does not run onto the lace.
