Kurta Size Chart for India (Men & Women)
Kurtas are India's most-sold ethnic garment, and sizing varies widely between brands. This chart gives standard men's and women's kurta measurements by size, with fit guidance and how to present it on Shopify to reduce returns.
Men's Kurta Size Chart (inches)
| Size | Chest | Shoulder | Kurta Length |
|---|---|---|---|
| 38 (S) | 38 | 16.5 | 42 |
| 40 (M) | 40 | 17 | 42 |
| 42 (L) | 42 | 17.5 | 43 |
| 44 (XL) | 44 | 18 | 44 |
| 46 (XXL) | 46 | 18.5 | 44 |
Notes
Chest and length define kurta fit. For men, chest is the primary size; for women, bust. Length is the second decision — short, regular, or long kurta — so always show the garment length alongside the body measurement.
Women's kurtas follow bust-waist-hip. Use a bust/waist/hip chart for women's kurtas (XS 32/26/35 up to XXL 42/36/45). A-line and straight cuts fit differently at the hip, so note the cut on each product.
Show the chart per product. Kurta fits range from slim to relaxed. A per-product size chart and a fit recommender let each kurta carry its own measurements, which is what actually cuts returns across a varied catalog.
FAQs
How do I choose the right kurta size?
Match your chest (men) or bust (women) to the chart, then choose the length you want — short, regular, or long. Chest/bust is the primary measurement; length is a style choice.
Do men's and women's kurtas size differently?
Yes. Men's kurtas are sized mainly by chest (38–46), while women's follow bust-waist-hip. Cut also matters — A-line and straight women's kurtas differ at the hip.
How do I add a kurta size chart on Shopify?
Use a per-product size chart app so each kurta shows its own chest/bust and length, and pair it with a fit recommender to reduce sizing-related returns across different fits.
