- The tunic is one of the oldest, continually worn pieces of clothing in the world. Its roots date back to Greek times. The tunic shares multicultural use across the world and has evolved along with the cultures that have worn it.
- Within the Indian community, tunics are mostly made of silk. silk tunics, or kurti as they are known, are very popular among South Asian peoples. Many people of Bengali, Indian, Afghan, Nepalese, Pakistani, and Sri Lankan descent often wear the kurti. Silk tunics are mostly worn in the summer time and are made with fine, thin silk threads. Both men and women can wear the kurti, but it has become a stylish piece of clothing for many women.
- Silk tunics have become very popular within non-South Asian communities as well. During the 1950s and the 1960s, the hippie movement popularized traditional silk tunics. Traditionally, the silk tunics is very loose fit and goes down to the knees of the wearer. Often times, it is styled in solid color, such as white silk. In fact the name kurti comes from the synthesized Urdu, Hindi, and Persian words meaning “colorless shirt”. Today, however, silk tunics come in a wide variety of color designs. Popular color designs can range from sea green to black faux Georgette. There are a number of design options for kurti wearers. In fact, the latest style is to wear blue jeans underneath the kurti, making for a chic women's blouse. Most silk tunics that are made for jean wearers are slightly shorter so they do not hang all the way down to the knees. Kurtis are also known for their unique designs. Many tailors will embroider unique designs on each kurtis to personalize the clothing.
- The differences between traditional and contemporary kurtis are minute. Both are made from rectangular fabrics and the arm of the kurti falls down to the person's wrist. Kurtis can come buttoned or from a hemmed slip that is tied to the top of the shoulder. Some kurtis have buttons on the back of them. One major difference between traditional and contemporary kurtis are that contemporary kurtis might have collars, while traditional kurtis do not have collars.
- Besides being fashionable, kurtis are very cool and breathable. When it's hot in the summer, a silk tunic can help your skin breath. They are also made out of a lightweight fabric. The bright designs can also be reflective against sunlight. If it does get cold, however, the silk tunics will have to be put in the closet for next season.
