What is the difference between kurta and kameez? Kameez may come in brighter colors, soft feminine prints, and feature elaborate decoration and intricately cut necklines. Kurta are generally more restrained in color and decoration -- but not necesarily so. Everyone dresses up for a South Asian wedding, men and women alike! |

Kurta are now less frequent as everyday wear, though they are still popular for formal occasions. |

⚫ | As noted in the [[Salwar Kameez|salwar kameez]] article, kurta are usually custom-made by South Asian tailors. South Asians overseas, and Westerners, can shop for kurta at South Asian clothing stores |
