Kurta for men:
Men's Kurta may be categorized as casual wear and formal wear depending on the fabric and designs. Men` Kurta made from khadi, cotton or nylon is typically worn as casual wear. A kurta is the most preferred outfit for events like puja and traditional get-together. Devout Muslims in India wear kurta for special prayer sessions. Kurtas not only have an innate ethnicity but are comfortable and ideal for summers as well. Men's Kurta in silk or satin is apt for Indian formal wear. They often have embroidery, sequin or beads adorning the sleeves and neck.
Kurta is essentially a shirt or top which is longer than the ideal shirt. The simplicity in design and the comfort it offers, makes the Kurta; popular clothing in India. Kurta is also an essential part of fusion clothing- an emerging trend.

Styles 
A traditional kurta is composed of rectangular fabric pieces with perhaps a few gusset inserts, and is cut so as to leave no wasted fabric. The cut is usually simple, although decorative treatments can be elaborate.
The sleeves of a traditional kurta fall straight to the wrist; they do not narrow, as do many Western-cut sleeves. Sleeves are not cuffed, just hemmed and decorated.
The front and back pieces of a simple kurta are also rectangular. The side seams are left open for 6-12 inches above the hem, which gives the wearer some ease of movement.
The kurta usually opens in the front; some styles, however, button at the shoulder seam. The front opening is often a hemmed slit in the fabric, tied or buttoned at the top; some kurtas, however, have plackets rather than slits. The opening may be centered on the chest, or positioned off center.
A traditional kurta does not have a collar. Modern variants may feature stand-up collars of the type known to tailors and seamstresses as "mandarin" collars. These are the same sort of collars seen on achkans, sherwanis, and Nehru jackets
Material
Kurtas worn in the summer months are usually made of thin silk or cotton fabrics; winter season kurtas are made of thicker fabric such as wool (as in Kashmiri kurtas) or Khadi silk, a thick, coarse, handspun and handwoven silk that may be mixed with other fibers.
Kurtas are typically fastened with tasseled ties, cloth balls and loops, or buttons. Ready-made kurtas often avoid the use of horn buttons, in deference to Hindu sentiments; such buttons are frequently made from cow or buffalo hooves or horns. Buttons are often wood or plastic. Kurtas worn on formal occasions might feature decorative metal buttons, which are not sewn to the fabric, but, like cufflinks, are fastened into the cloth when needed. Such buttons can be decorated with jewels, enameling, and other traditional jewelers' techniques
