Keerthy Suresh Reworks Festive Dressing With Jeans And Statement Kurtas

Denim has long outlived the trend cycle that surrounds it, quietly holding its ground as fashion’s most reliable constant. What shifts, season after season, is not the fabric itself but the way it is worn.

Keerthy Suresh tapped into this enduring appeal, reimagining denim not as an everyday basic but as a festive styling tool. Through a series of thoughtfully styled looks, she demonstrated how jeans could hold their own alongside traditional Indianwear – without losing ease, comfort or character.

Rather than leaning into predictable pairings, Keerthy Suresh’s approach treated denim as a canvas, letting craftsmanship, texture and accessories do the heavy lifting.

Velvet, Denim, And A Hint Of Drama

In one standout look, Keerthy elevated distressed barrel-leg jeans by pairing them with an olive green velvet kurta by Ridhi Mehra. The richness of velvet, punctuated with delicate embroidery, introduced a celebratory mood that contrasted beautifully with the lived-in feel of the denim. The styling struck a careful balance: softness up top, strength below. Her hair had been swept into a relaxed, messy bun, adorned with red gerberas that added an old-world touch. Statement earrings and chunky cuff bracelets brought in a note of boldness, while brown lace-up boots grounded the look, keeping it firmly rooted in contemporary cool rather than festive excess.

Indo-Western Ease, Refined

For the second look, Keerthy leaned into understated Indo-Western dressing with wide-leg jeans styled alongside a short festive kurti and juttis. Wearing a kurti-and-dupatta set by Sureena Chowdhri, she allowed proportion and silhouette to take centre stage. The wide denim offered movement and ease, while the traditional elements anchored the heritage look. Accessories remained minimal with simple earrings and bangles, ensuring the outfit felt relaxed yet intentional, the kind of ensemble suited to intimate gatherings where comfort mattered as much as polish.

A Classic Formula, Revisited

For the third look, a floor-length kurta with a front slit by Aseem Kapoor had been styled over skinny jeans, reaffirming the enduring appeal of this pairing when executed with restraint. Statement earrings returned, adding visual interest, while cherry red stilettos edged in gold delivered a festive flourish. It was a look that seamlessly bridged tradition and modernity, making it ideal for holiday brunches and evening celebrations alike.
