Indian & Pakistani Clothes Under $15

Kurtis under $15

The kurtis here are everyday pieces: a white viscose linen kurti, a pink georgette kurti, a linen kurta in a plus size, and silk short kurtis that are bright enough for a haldi or a mehndi. A short kurti looks right over jeans or wide pants, and a longer kurta works with a shalwar or leggings.

If you like the yellow silk pieces, the same colors are gathered in mehndi and haldi outfits, and the guide on how to wear a kurti with jeans has a few easy ideas for everyday wear.

Shalwars, palazzo and gharara pants

Most of the bottoms on this page are $15 or less: cotton tulip shalwars, a white tulip shalwar with lace, plain black and white cotton pants, ladies' palazzo pants, and gharara pants, including an off-white silk pair with golden sequin work for a party.

A good pair of bottoms turns a kurti you already own into a full outfit. See every style in shalwar and trousers, or browse palazzo sets and suits if you want the top and bottom together.

Dupattas and shawls for less

The dupattas here include a pink linen chunri print, a black cotton ajrak print, a white and gold organza scarf and a soft organza jacquard dupatta. A dupatta is the quickest way to dress up a plain suit for a dinner or a dawat.

For more choices see the dupattas section, and if you are not sure how to drape one, the guide on how to wear a dupatta shows a few simple ways.

Sizes and ordering

Indian and Pakistani sizes don't always match US sizes, so check the chest, hips and length on each listing against a piece you own. The size guide explains how. When you have found it, tap Order on WhatsApp, or add a few pieces to your bag and send the list in one message. Shagufta confirms the shipping cost before anything is sent.
