How should a Nehru jacket fit over a kurta?

The shoulders should sit cleanly, the buttons should close without strain and the armholes should allow movement over the kurta.

Should a Nehru jacket be shorter than the kurta?

Yes. A Nehru jacket generally finishes around the hips while the kurta continues toward the knee or below.

Which Nehru jacket colour goes with a white kurta?

Navy, beige, charcoal, olive, maroon and patterned neutral jackets can work with a white or ivory kurta, depending on the event.

Can I wear a patterned jacket with an embroidered kurta?

Yes, but one garment should remain visually dominant. Strong jacket patterns work best with restrained kurta embroidery.

Should a Nehru jacket be fully buttoned?

It can be fully buttoned when comfortable, while leaving the top button open can create space around the neckline and reveal the kurta placket.
