Our Indian kurta just made it through fast fashion, as H&M released a chocolate brown kurta shalwar in its latest collection. They named it a jersey shirt dress to make it fancier.
However, netizens soon called out this product. As it was typical kurta payjama, we Indians often wear it while visiting majid or at home.
Why is it hip for H&M to sell kurta payjama as loungewear but when Desis wear kurta payjama it is “omg I love your ethnic costume” 🤨 pic.twitter.com/26sp9JAKLk

The dress (our desi kurta) is priced at $34.99 (Rs 2,605), and we Indians obviously cannot take this.
Here’s what Twitteratis have to say about it.
If they wanted to be authentic they could have made the model put their hands behind their back.

I honestly think HM is just getting lazier every season. This doesn’t even fit properly.

They are just copy our designs and give fancy names.

For a moment I really thought H&M have started designed the Masjid Outfits.
