The menswear fashion industry is currently at its peak in terms of dynamism and design – and this includes wedding wear at the forefront of change. Departing from the ancient notion of restrictive styling, modern Indian men refuse to take a back seat when it comes to making a sartorial statement. Fueled by increasing global influences, menswear now is all about innovation and norm-defying statements.
Kurta Set – Mahima Mahajan Men
Whether you are the groom or a groomsman, vibrant bundi jackets paired with solid kurta sets are a fail-safe and charming option. Pick breathable fabrics like cotton and chanderi to combat the heat and ensure maximum comfort. Complete the look with kundan or silver neck-pieces and a brooch to make the ultimate style statement.
Sangeet & Mehendi Picks
To rejoice in a night of music and laughter, opt for charismatic kurta sets in pastel shades, as they exude a timeless aura of romance. To amp up the look, go for pieces with dazzling mirror-work or tonal embroideries, and match it with old-school salwar pants. For an ethereal look, add a lightweight scarf to the fit – ideal for dancing to joyous tunes.
The Groom’s Brigade
Mark your arrival in style and panache, as you deck up for the baarat. Command attention in imperial designs dipped in shades of gold, ivory and pastels. To make the most of your looks, opt for silhouettes with nuanced details and heritage embroideries like gota patti and chikankari. Add a pop of colour with an eclectic safa and a heavy dupatta for the perfect finishing touches.
Vow-Worthy Wonders
For the Man of the Hour
Gearing up for the main wedding is undoubtedly the most anticipated and essential part of all! Heritage-inspired silhouettes like sherwanis and achkans are the ultimate picks for the grooms, but that doesn’t mean the look can not be avant-garde. Add a contemporary flair to regal designs with a waist belt and edgy footwear, keeping the overall look classic yet eclectic.
For the pheras, most grooms like to go for colours that complement their bride’s ensemble but no matter what your better half is wearing, classic shades like beige, ivory and gold lend a timeless allure to traditional ceremonies.
Groomsmen’s Closets
Supporting the man of the hour, the groomsmens’ style is equally important! If you are the groom’s best friend, do not be afraid to explore and experiment with your options to charm the crowd. While there is an expansive range to choose from, it is best to trust cultural staples like bandhgalas for standing by the groom during his nuptials.
In case your crew wants to get the perfect wedding photos, we suggest going for a coordinated colour palette. Accessorise your outfits with fail-safe elements like matching safas and embroidered shawls to look effortlessly opulent.
After-Hour Glam
Once all the wedding rituals have been completed, feel free to dial up the glam quotient for the cocktail or reception party. Set the tone for the night with dark tones and luxe textiles laden with dense embroideries that add a bit of sparkle. This will not only ensure a sensationally dapper look but also offer comfort throughout a night of gala. Fabrics like velvet and silk are ideal for such occasions, especially if it is a winter wedding, as they add a touch of grandiosity to night-time soirées.
Whether you are the groom or a part of his trusted crew, when curating a noteworthy wardrobe, stay true to your personality. We suggest seeking designs that are timeless and will go a long way even after the wedding. Investment pieces like kurtas and sherwanis are both closet must-haves that never go out of style. But no matter what you and your groomsmen choose to wear for the wedding celebrations, don’t forget to have fun while serving those suave looks, and choose comfort above all.
