When it comes to weddings, the bride is often the centre of attention, and rightly so! However, this does not preclude the groom from participating in any way. The groom must be well-dressed and stand out from the crowd. While men in the western world are usually limited to Suits and Tuxedos, Indians can have the best of both worlds in this regard. The possibilities are endless, with so many different colours, styles, and fabrics to choose from.
So, here are four tried-and-true trends that will undoubtedly make you look dapper and turn some heads on your wedding day.
Jodhpuri Suit
The Jodhpuri suit is a type of traditional wedding attire that originated in Rajasthan. Its stand-up collar distinguishes this garment. Royalty oozes from Jodhpuri suits. Jodhpuris are breathtakingly imperial, with a classic touch to bring out the prince in you. They are the ideal blend of Indian and Western attire. A western-style jacket with Indian-style embroidery on the sleeves and collars, as well as a jodhpuri suit, will add a new dimension to your look.
Pair your Jodhpuri Suit with a pocket square, contrasting trousers, and leather shoes for the perfect wedding look.
Churidar Kurta
The Churidar Kurta is a simple yet elegant wedding attire option. The term Churidar was derived from the creases (churis) that form below the knees. Churidar Kurtas are an unavoidable part of traditional Indian men's clothing. Silk kurtas embellished with embroidery work add a touch of luxury to your look. For an impeccable eye, add a layer by wearing an ethnic Nehru Jacket. You can wear churidars that are the same colour as your kurta or choose a contrasting colour for a more modern look. To complete the look, pair your Churidar Kurta with a pair of embroidered silk mojaris. A Churidar Kurta is a safe bet for any wedding, with a wide range of colours and designs to choose from.
Sherwani
The Sherwani can be traced back to 19th century British India as the dress of the Mughal dynasty's nobles and royals. It has become a tried and true outfit for Indian weddings over time. The Sherwani is a groom's best friend, with a wide range of exquisite colours, fabrics, and styling options. It can help you achieve an elegant appearance while still maintaining your traditional aura. Combine your Sherwani with silk embroidered mojaris, a silk turban, and a pearl mala to complete the look.
Suits & Tuxedo
A suit is a classic piece of wedding attire. A suit allows you to mix and match colours to your liking while also providing you with the cutting edge that you deserve on your special day. Whatever you choose, a well-fitted suit or tuxedo will undoubtedly highlight your personality. Let's face it; rising temperatures are no one's friend. High temperatures cause everyone to opt for a cotton or linen suit. While these materials are always in style, wool is still the best fabric for suits, contrary to popular belief. Because wool is a natural fibre, it breathes and can help keep you cool in the summer even as the temperature rises. However, that is not the only benefit that this material provides. Unlike linen and cotton, wool does not wrinkle and does not retain odours because it allows sweat to evaporate quickly. Furthermore, a woollen suit will allow you to focus on your beautiful future wife rather than worrying about the appearance of your suit. Finish off the look with a pair of leather oxfords.
So these are the fashion trends that will help you look dapper on your big date. Feel free to add your flair to your outfit by adding accessories to elevate your status from elementary to regal.
