Use sneakers for a casual reset
White or minimal sneakers make straight kurtis feel relaxed, youthful, and walkable.
Use heels selectively
Block heels and wedges work for longer kurtis, festive sets, and office occasions where you still need comfort.
Match proportion
Longer kurtis usually like a little footwear structure. Shorter kurtis can handle flats, sandals and sneakers more easily.
