Top 7 Yellow Kurta Pajama Styles for Men 2025 | Nawab Parker

The yellow kurta for men has held its ground for generations. But in 2025, it’s not just a ceremonial default anymore. It’s a statement. It’s modern. It’s rooted. And it works across a hundred different moods, from turmeric-stained haldi mornings to spotlight-heavy wedding evenings.

We know this not because we read it somewhere, but because we design them. Fit them. Wear them. And yes, sometimes stain them with marigold petals or spilled chai.

This post isn’t about what’s trendy. It’s about what works, from printed cotton blends to embroidered silk sets, from haldi heroes to wedding staples. We’re walking you through our Top 7 yellow kurta pajama styles for men this year.

Why Yellow Is Trending in 2025

Yellow isn’t behaving like a seasonal favourite anymore. It’s taking up permanent space.

And honestly, it’s easy to see why.

Culturally, yellow brings joy. Spiritually, it’s aligned with purity, beginnings, and ritual energy. Visually? It lifts you. Especially during Indian ceremonies, where chaos, colour, and candid photography meet in one blur of moments.

This year, we’ve seen mustard yellow kurta sets rise fast, especially among groomsmen and elder brothers who don’t want to steal attention, but still need to look like they matter.

At the same time, traditional yellow colour kurtas are still ruling haldi ceremonies. The brighter, the better. Add white pajamas, let the sunlight in, and let the chaos begin.

Prints are getting more thoughtful. Embroidery more subtle. Even jackets have started playing nicer with yellow.

So no, it’s not a passing shade. In 2025, yellow kurta pajama for men is here to stay, and do the heavy lifting quietly.

Printed vs Embroidered Yellow Kurta Pajamas: What Fits Where?

This is the question we get asked the most, and truthfully, the answer is never as simple as “this or that.”

We’ve worn both. Designed both. Stared at both for hours during sampling rounds. And every time we try to simplify the printed vs embroidered debate, we end up saying the same thing: It depends on the room you’re walking into.

Printed

Printed yellow kurta pajamas are the versatile ones. They don’t ask too many questions. You throw one on and it’s almost always a good decision, especially if you’re heading to a haldi ceremony, a daytime sangeet, or a semi-casual event where you need to show up without showing off.

Most of our printed pieces are done on art silk or cotton blends. These fabrics hold colour brilliantly and keep the structure relaxed. That’s key, because prints move. They breathe. They say, “I’m here to celebrate,” but never say, “Look at me more than the groom.”

They’re also easier to re-wear. A printed yellow kurta set can move between events without feeling overdone.

Embroidery

Embroidery is… heavier. In presence, not necessarily in weight.

A well-embroidered mustard yellow kurta set says something before you speak. It carries formality. It carries gravity. It shows effort. This is what you wear when you’re on the stage, near the pooja thali, or expected to deliver a toast before dinner is served.

The catch? Embroidered kurtas demand better posture. Better shoes. Sometimes, even better lighting.

Most of our embroidered pieces are built in silk blends. They hold the thread without sagging. They hold the gaze for a little longer.

So… Which One’s Right for You?

• If you’re going to get turmeric thrown at you, pick prints.
  
• If you’re going to give a blessing, wear embroidery.
  
• If you’re buying for repeat wear, start with print.
  
• If you’re anchoring the event, don’t be afraid to shine a little.
  

What matters is intention. Not price. Not even detail.

And once you’ve decided what you need your kurta to say, choosing becomes much easier.

Now let’s show you 7 styles that answer that question in different ways:

Our Top 7 Picks (With Details & Styling Notes)

We’ve personally picked, tested, and styled each of these. Some are ceremony-ready. Others are repeat-wearables. All of them belong in the rotation.

1. Traditional Festive Yellow Kurta Pajama for Men

₹2,199 | Art Silk | View Product →

This one was designed for yellow lovers who want some depth.

The mustard art silk fabric carries weight, visually and physically, which makes it drape better. A subtle white motif print repeats through the body, giving it a soft pattern without screaming for attention.

Where it really stands out is the textured placket and cuffs, contrast elements that elevate the look without breaking tradition.

We’ve seen this worn by brothers of the groom, cousins at daytime sangeets, and even first-time kurta wearers at haldi. Paired with a white pajama, it photographs brilliantly. And the art silk has enough stiffness to keep you upright through four hours of photo ops.

Perfect with tan sandals, or go sockless with mojaris if you’re indoors.

2. Festive Wear Silk Blend Yellow Kurta Pajama for Men

₹2,099 | Silk Blend | View Product →

Now this one’s got elegance baked in.

With a radiant yellow silk blend, this kurta balances shine and sophistication. The subtle embroidered or woven motifs feel traditional without looking like something borrowed from your uncle’s closet.

The magic is in the geometric placket design, it frames the neckline without demanding too much from the rest of the outfit. Pair it with a neutral jacket and it transforms instantly into a full-fledged reception look.

You could also wear it solo with a white churidar and polished brown footwear. We’ve even seen this pulled off with off-white trousers and a silk pocket square.

Great for those who want to be noticed quietly.

3. Designer Motif Style Yellow Kurta Pajama for Men

₹2,199 | Premium Blend | View Product →

This one’s for men who like structure in their style.

The intricate motif pattern on this yellow kurta adds detail without texture overload. The cut is sharper than average, and that shows up in the way it holds its shape around the shoulders and torso.

It’s paired with a light cream pajama, elasticated for comfort, but neutral enough to let the kurta take centre stage.

We love this one for haldi pre-functions, college ethnic days, even on-stage emcees who need to look polished from head to toe. If you accessorise lightly, think silver watch, no chains, it carries modern simplicity with confidence.

4. Festive Special Cotton Blend Yellow Kurta Pajama for Men

₹1,699 | Cotton Blend | View Product →

This is the haldi MVP.

Soft cotton blend, breathable fit, and a yellow tone that looks beautiful under daylight. With a straight hem, mandarin collar, and basic placket, it keeps things minimal, which is exactly what you need when turmeric starts flying.

Paired with a clean white pajama, this one has function written all over it. And because of its simplicity, you can wear it more than once, not just for haldi, but casual festive lunches, rakhi pujas, or even a visit to the temple.

Add a vibrant dupatta or a printed stole if you want a twist. Otherwise, let the colour do its thing.

5. Golden Yellow Silk Party Wear Kurta Pajama for Men

₹2,099 | Silk | View Product →

This one is rich.

The golden yellow silk has a sheen that doesn’t look flashy, it looks expensive. You can feel it when you hold it. There’s weight. Drapability. It moves slowly, like it knows it doesn’t need to prove anything.

The subtle texture and placket detailing give it a refined look, great for cocktail nights, evening ceremonies, or even reception dinners where you’re sharing a spotlight but not owning it.

Wear it with embroidered loafers or patterned mojaris. Keep the jacket optional, the kurta speaks well enough on its own.

6. Men’s Yellow Kurta Pajama Set with Handloom Pattern

₹1,599 | Woven Fabric | View Product →

One word: texture.

This handloom pattern kurta offers a tactile experience, it feels traditional but looks quite current. It’s lightweight, breathable, and easy to wear across long ceremonies without having to constantly adjust your silhouette.

It’s been a favourite for sangeets, temple functions, and even performance stages. The craftsmanship feels rooted. You’ll find it pairs nicely with both sandals and dressier shoes, depending on how far you want to take the look.

Definitely one of our quiet heroes.

7. Premium Festive Wear Kurta Pajama for Men

₹2,199 | Golden Fabric with Sequins | View Product →

When you’re required to show up sharper than usual, this is the move.

With a luminous golden tone, subtle embellished sequin detailing, and a refined texture, this kurta is what we call “stage-ready without being flashy.”

Full sleeves, a structured neckline, and a wide size range make it inclusive without sacrificing fit. It comes with a beige pajama, which keeps things formal without drowning out the shine.

We recommend it for night weddings, engagement ceremonies, and even as a second outfit for grooms who want a lighter change after the pheras.

Quick Fit & Fabric Guide

A yellow kurta is only as good as the fabric carrying it.

And we’ve learned this the hard way. You could have the most gorgeous yellow kurta design, but if it clings wrong or breathes poorly, it won’t last two hours at a haldi. That’s why fabric isn’t just preference. It’s a strategy.

We usually recommend cotton blends for anything involving movement, stain risk, or sunlight. It holds colour beautifully, feels light on the skin, and forgives turmeric accidents. It’s the fabric equivalent of “don’t worry about it.”

Silk and silk blends are another world entirely. They’re stiffer, shinier, and definitely a bit more demanding, but in the right setting, say a reception or stage ceremony, they can do things no cotton ever could. These are the ones you wear when you know people will be watching. When the camera matters. When the light matters.

Art silk sits in the middle, it mimics the sheen of real silk but carries itself a bit more casually. Great for prints, great for day-to-night wear. It’s what most of our festive printed yellow kurta pajama pieces are made from.

Then there’s handloom, and we say this without exaggeration: once you wear it, it’s hard to go back. The texture, the fall, the sense of handmade detail, it all comes together in a way that feels older than fashion. These are the kurtas we wear to temple functions, family pujas, even intimate wedding setups.

As for fit, our golden rule is: let the kurta do the talking, not the tightness. If the shoulder pulls even a little, size up. If you’re wearing a jacket, go with a cut that stays close but not clingy. Longer length feels more formal. And please, always go full sleeve unless you’re heading to Goa.

Styling Tips: The Yellow’s Good, Now Don’t Mess It Up

We’ve seen too many good yellow kurta pajama looks ruined by overthinking, or worse, under-thinking.

Let’s start with the bottom half. A white pajama is classic because it works. It tones down the yellow, balances brightness, and makes the overall look feel intentional. But there’s room to play, off-white, beige, even a very soft gold churidar can elevate a mustard yellow kurta set without clashing.

Want to go sharper? Add a jacket. Not another yellow one (please). Go for contrast, bottle green, navy, maroon, or a neutral like stone grey. Floral jackets on plain kurtas? That’s a good look. Plain jackets on motif-heavy kurtas? Even better.

Footwear? Mojaris or Kolhapuris are still king. No shiny loafers. And if you’re doing socks, they better be invisible, or non-existent.

Accessories? Keep it simple. One thing. A leather-strapped watch. A silver brooch. Maybe a pocket square if there’s a jacket. But never all three. Yellow doesn’t need help. It needs space.

Yellow Kurta for Haldi – Do’s and Don’ts

The haldi function is chaos, in the best possible way. If there’s ever a time to wear yellow and not worry about the outcome, it’s now.

Do pick a cotton or cotton blend kurta that breathes. You’ll be sweating, laughing, dodging turmeric, and being pulled into awkward cousin photos. Stay light.

Don’t wear anything embroidered or silk-heavy, it’ll either get ruined or make you nervous about sitting on the floor.

Do go bold with colour. Bright yellows shine best under daylight and with the marigold décor all around.

Don’t wear closed formal shoes. This is a barefoot, sandal, or Kolhapuri situation, trust us.

How to Style Yellow Kurta with White Pajama or Jacket

Pairing a yellow kurta with white pajama is the cleanest move you can make, but that doesn’t mean it has to be boring.

For day functions, especially haldi or poojas, the combo works best with minimal accessories. Add tan sandals or brown leather mojaris. Roll up your sleeves if the vibe’s informal.

For formal evenings, layer a Nehru jacket in a contrast tone: forest green, wine, navy, even pastel florals. Embroidered jackets on plain kurtas always win.

And if you’re going all white below, keep the footwear strong. A boring shoe flattens the entire look.

Conclusion

The truth?

You don’t wear a yellow kurta pajama for men because it’s “trendy.” You wear it because it knows how to behave when the moment matters.

From loud haldi mornings to quiet temple visits, from embroidered evening elegance to handloom calm, yellow shows up. Every time.

And here’s the thing: you don’t need to be the groom to dress like your presence matters. You don’t need to overdress to be remembered. All you need is a kurta that fits your role, your rhythm, and your day,  not someone else’s Instagram reel.

If we had to give one rule? Choose based on feel, not flair.

Pick cotton when the ceremony needs movement. Pick silk when the evening demands stillness. Pick mustard when you’re anchoring tradition. Pick bright when joy needs an outfit.

Whatever you pick, make sure it’s you, in yellow.👉 Explore Nawab Parker’s Full Yellow Kurta Collection at our kurta pajama for men page.
