From Festivals to Weddings: Chikankari Kurtas For Kids For Every Occasion

Why Chikankari Kurtas are a Trendy Choice for Kids

There's something special about seeing your little one all dressed up in festive finery. And when it comes to kidswear, the chikankari kurta is ruling the roost. This traditional embroidery style from Lucknow has won hearts with its delicate floral and geometric patterns, making it a favourite pick for kids' festive and wedding wear.

Understanding the Art of Chikankari

Chikankari is a centuries-old embroidery craft that originated in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. It involves creating intricate patterns on fabrics like cotton, silk, or georgette using white thread work. The embroidery is done by hand, using a needle and a frame to create delicate floral, paisley, and geometric designs.



What sets chikankari apart is the use of shadow work, where the design is visible on both sides of the fabric. The artisans use over 30 different stitching techniques to create stunning patterns that are a testament to their skill and creativity.

Chikankari kurtas for kids boys have become increasingly popular in recent times. Manyavar's stylish kidswear collection offers a range of chikankari kurtas for boys, including stylish kurta pajamas and trendy kurta jacket sets.

Popular Styles of Chikankari Kurtas for Kids

Chikankari kurtas for kids come in various styles to suit different preferences and occasions. Here are some popular options:

• Straight-cut kurtas: These are simple, fuss-free kurtas that fall straight from the shoulders to the knees or mid-calf. They usually have a mandarin collar or a simple round neckline. Straight-cut kurtas work well for both boys and girls.
• Angrakha-style kurtas: Angrakha kurtas have an overlapping front panel that wraps around the torso diagonally. They often have a asymmetric hemline and look quite regal. Angrakha kurtas are a good choice for boys.
• Kurta pajama sets: These sets include a short or mid-length kurta teamed with cotton or silk pajamas. The kurtas often have chikankari work on the front and/or border. Kurta pajama sets are a classic choice for boys.
• Kurta jacket sets: For a slightly more formal look, you can opt for kurta jacket sets that come with a solid colour kurta and pants set and a Nehru jacket. The jacket may be plain or have chikankari detailing. These sets are perfect for weddings or festivals.

How to Style Chikankari Kurtas for Kids

Now that you know the different styles of chikankari kurtas available for kids, let's look at some styling tips to help your little ones rock this trend:

• Mix and match: Don't be afraid to mix and match chikankari kurtas with different bottom wear options. While churidars and pajamas are classic pairings, you can also team them with dhotis, patiala salwars, or even jeans for an Indo-western look.
• Play with colours: Chikankari kurtas come in a range of lovely shades like aqua blue, bottle green, light pink, lemon yellow, and lilac. You can either go for a tone-on-tone look by pairing a kurta with bottom wear in the same colour family, or create contrast by teaming it with white or beige.
• Accessorise right: The right accessories can elevate a simple chikankari kurta to festive levels. Think pearl or kundan necklaces, embroidered juttis, and brooches and pocket squares for the accompanying Nehru jackets. Avoid going overboard with the accessories though - let the chikankari work shine!
• Layer it up: For winter festivities, layer the chikankari kurta with a plain cotton jacket or a silk bandi in a complementary colour. You can also drape a dupatta or stole on the side for added warmth and style.
