Complete the look by teaming it with your regular denim. Complete the ethnic jacket by wearing a traditional mojari with the outfit. You can also layer your kurta as a jacket with a knee-length dress to make a comfy outfit.
A regular kurta can also be converted into a jacket by slashing it from the centre. However, you might need your tailor’s help with this!

Complete the look by adding a sling bag. Wear high heels in the same colour as your belt and you are all set to step out for a casual getaway.
