If you're a man of style, you know that there is no limit to fashion. Everything in your closet has a purpose and if it remains unfulfilled, what's the point of even shopping anymore? Now, a man's wardrobe is always to the point. Nifty shirts and formal pants for the office, some cool graphic t-shirts for casual gatherings, a few pair of bottoms for all the events and a kurta. I know you wear everything you own frequently. Well, everything except those poor kurtas. They keep getting sidelined until there's a Holi or Diwali party in the office. 

 

However, it's time to change (your style). A fine kurta with denim or chinos beats every other outfit even on a regular day. Don't believe me? Here's a list of 10 stylish daily wear kurtas for men that will change your mind.
