Fashion always plays a big part of any wedding, but
especially an Indian one. Many of our clients travel many distances to find the
perfect outfit for there special day. One would think that fashion is only
important to the bride, but you would be surprised how many groom's are also
into the latest trends.
Trends
"Zardozi,
Gota work, Resham and Dori and Pearl embroidery are very
traditional and always in style. Trellising, a texturing technique for fabric
is also used a lot. This season the dhoti is an extremely chic option and so
comfortable!" says Master couturier Tarun Tahiliani
Dress
according to size
Short:
Avoid a very long achkan, it should end just below the knees. Go for
monochromatic colours; if you are wearing a black top then wear a black bottom
as well to give height. Wear asafa and pre-pleated stoles with a slight
heel.
Tall
and well-built: You lucked out. Almost everything looks good on you but
ensure your garments are fitted in a way that highlights the shoulders and
chest. Also select a piece that highlights the embroidery on the garment. Maybe
wear a kamar bandh.
Skinny:
Stay away from dark colours. Choose lighter-coloured garments like beiges,
ivories and creams that should not be completely fitted but have a good shape.
Accessories
There
are very few acceptable ways for men to wear jewellery - dressing for a
wedding, however, is one of them. Whether you’re the groom, the drunk cousin or
the single friend hoping to score, you can anchor your look with some solid
accessories. A fine, gleaming pair of cufflinks or a slightly more ethnic
brooch on a dark bandhgala is just the right amount of bling, that says you’re
gentlemanly, stylish and do rather well for yourself.
Tahiliani
advocates going all out with traditional accessories, “safa, kamar bandh,
tanni, sarpech, heavy pearls or emerald necklaces, matching embroidered juttis,
Jamevar st
Experiment
with modernity
Don’t
just stick to a classic sherwani, experiment with modern cuts and mix the
traditional with the classy. “Try a bandh gala with dhoti or jodhpuri trousers,
a short sherwani with Swarovski buttons, or a Nehru jacket can be quilted and
worn with a shirt and trousers.”
Follow
these trends and no matter what part you play in the wedding, you will be sure
to stand out!
