For the office, your kurta neckline should be polished, professional, and subtly stylish. The Asymmetrical Mandarin Collar is a huge trend that fits the bill perfectly. It’s modern, elegant, and far from boring.

Classic Office Wear Kurta Neck Design: Cutting and Stitching

Cutting & Stitching Guide:

Draft the Pattern: Instead of a symmetrical collar, draft a collar piece that is higher on one side (say, 2 inches) and angles down to be lower on the other side (1 inch). The front neckline of the kurta itself will follow this same angled curve.

Cutting: Cut two mirror-image pieces of this asymmetrical collar from your main fabric and two from a light fusible interfacing. Iron the interfacing to the wrong side of your main collar pieces for structure.

Stitching: With right sides together, stitch the two collar pieces together along the top and outer edges. Trim the seams, turn it right side out, and press carefully. This gives you a sharp, clean collar.

Attaching: Pin the raw edge of the collar to the kurta’s neckline, right sides together. Stitch it on, then understitch the seam allowance to the collar to help it lie flat and not roll outward.

This design is professional enough for any meeting but has that unique, fashion-forward edge that sets your outfit apart. It’s a detail that shows intentionality and style.
