Ethereal-Green Three Piece Kurta Pajama Set with Front Open Jacket and Embroidered Sequins
Dry clean only. Store folded in a soft muslin pouch away from direct sunlight to keep the sheen alive.
Description
There are evenings that ask for something quietly luminous, and this three-piece set answers with exactly that kind of considered grace. Rendered in art silk, the fabric carries the characteristic sheen of the textile traditions that have long made Indian ceremonial dressing so visually rich, offering a soft drape that moves well and catches candlelight with gentle generosity. The centrepiece is the front-open jacket, structured yet relaxed, its edges and surface embellished with embroidered sequins worked in patterns that echo the festive embroidery vocabularies found across Rajasthan and Gujarat. The ethereal green, neither too pale nor too saturated, belongs to that rare register of colour that reads as restrained on its own and luminous in a crowd. Paired with the matching kurta and straight-cut pajama, the silhouette is complete without effort. For a wedding reception or an evening of Diwali celebrations, wear it with pointed kolhapuri mojris in ivory or gold. Keep jewellery minimal, perhaps a single strand of polki, and allow the sequinwork to carry the occasion.

Behind this piece
The three-piece silhouette draws from a long tradition of layered festive dressing across northern and western India, where the open-front jacket, or "sadri," has dressed men for celebratory gatherings for centuries. Here, that inherited form meets art silk, a fabric that democratised the luminous drape of pure silk without sacrificing its ceremonial weight. The scattered sequin embroidery follows hand-embellishment traditions common to ateliers in Surat and Jaipur, where craftspeople apply each motif with practised patience. Ethereal green, a colour historically associated with prosperity and new beginnings, anchors the ensemble in symbolic intention as much as aesthetic.
How to style
For a Diwali gathering, pair this set exactly as designed, and let the jacket remain open for an effortless layered silhouette. Add kolhapuri sandals in tan leather and a simple gold chain. For a mehendi or sangeet, close the jacket with a single silk pocket square in ivory. At a destination wedding, wear the kurta and pajama alone, leaving the jacket as an evening cover; complement with oxidised silver rings and mojris in champagne. The ethereal green reads beautifully against both warm candlelight and outdoor afternoon settings, making it genuinely versatile across the festive calendar.
Fabric & care
Art silk responds best to a gentle cold-water hand wash, using a mild, pH-neutral detergent. Never wring or twist the fabric; instead, press excess water out gently between two clean towels. Dry flat and away from direct sunlight, which will fade both the green ground and the sequin embellishment over time. Do not tumble dry. Iron on a low setting with a pressing cloth between the iron and the fabric surface, particularly over sequined areas. Store folded in breathable muslin, never in plastic, to prevent moisture build-up. Properly cared for, the fabric will retain its sheen across many seasons.
