How to Wear a Kurta American Style When the Weather Gets Warm

I wore out my first kurta because I enjoyed it so much. So then I began collecting them. A kurta is a collarless shirt that ends above or below the knee. It’s a style originating in India where this loose top in light materials helps with comfort in hot weather. As you shop for one, you will often find it named a kurti or tunic. All of mine have long sleeves and are made of a gauzy cotton. Spring is the best time for me to wear them. But there are many variations of materials and sleeve lengths that work well for Summer, too. As I explore how to wear a kurta American style, I’m sharing my outfit ideas with you. Age doesn’t matter. I hope this helps you to find some comfortable new outfits for the warm weather ahead.

How to Really Enjoy the Transition to Warm Weather

No matter how many winters have turned to spring, age doesn’t matter.  The weather isn’t transitioning the way we’ve come to expect, so coping with the variable temperature changes can be challenging.  I hope that the following tips and outfit ideas will help you to really enjoy the transition to warm weather!

When Spring arrives, suddenly thick tweeds, bulky wool turtlenecks and dark-on-dark patterns look too wintry.  Time to put those away until next year.  Focus instead on light layers and a change in your color combinations.  By layering, you can still be warm without thick materials.

Let’s take a look at how we can really enjoy the transition to warm weather with layers, colors, a spring outfit formula and outfit ideas!

Tips on How to Spring Clean Your Closet

As spring comes on, it’s time for the annual swap of putting away our heavy winter clothes and pulling out our light and bright springtime things to wear.  In my last blog post, “How to Really Enjoy the Transition to Warm Weather,” I gave you outfit ideas for the changing temps.  Now it’s time to give our closets a spring cleaning.  So I have some handy tips to share with you on how to spring clean your closet.

I love being able to add to my beautiful wardrobe, but I struggle to get rid of things.  I have these ideas that someday I might need them or want them or that I should hang on to less-than-ideal basics until I can find the ideal version.

I am always trying to better organize what I do have.  It makes it much easier to come up with new outfit ideas when you can see the colors and types of clothing clearly.  And besides, I like things to be neat and orderly.  Perhaps you do, too.  Age doesn’t matter; it’s our inner peace that’s important.  And order creates calm mornings and inner happiness, and a beautiful home and beautiful clothes to live in.

In my efforts to control clutter in my closet and wardrobe, I collect tips on how to accomplish this.  My favorite guide to transitioning my wardrobe from winter to spring is my post on “How to Clean Out Your Closet for Spring in 6 Easy Steps” in my Check Lists and Guides category.  With that already available to you (just click on the title to link to it), I am posting here today some tips to consider on getting things under control.
