This kurta and pant set is built around a hand-drawn brushstroke stripe, printed in house on a lightweight silk that moves easily through the day. The black and cream play off each other without feeling busy, and the V neckline is finished with a fine trace of gold beading.

The sleeves close in gold hand embellishment along the cuff, set against a thread of teal that keeps the palette from settling into anything expected. Underneath, straight pants in comfortable cotton silk carry the same restraint, save for a run of pearl hangings at the hem that catch the eye with each step.

Easy to wear through the day, and just as easy to dress up once evening sets in.
