To perfect a traditional outfit, appropriate ethnic footwear is essential. This choice depends on the occasion, season, personality, comfort level required and other aspects. To select the most appropriate footwear, the occasion and season are a matter of prime importance.

Khussa is completely made by hand, embroidered and stitched using white thread. Men khussas have an extended curved tip, it covers some part of the foot front, the rest remains uncovered. It is further embellished by ceramic beads, mirrors, bright threads and such.

They are must-have footwear as they complete your look in any casual or formal outfit.

• Oxford shoes: Oxford shoes, in my opinion, are the most elegant looking among all formal shoes. They have a closed lace system and low heel available in specific colors with design variations. If you seek class and comfort, oxford shoes are what you are looking for. Black patent oxford shoes although expensive but well worth the value look fabulous and catchy with white kurta pajama.
