    Groom Styling: Beyond the Sherwani

    Jan 15, 20265 min read

    The modern Indian groom has more options than ever. Our groom styling service helps you find the perfect look beyond the classic sherwani.

    The Bandhgala Jacket

    Think of it as the Indian tuxedo — structured, elegant, and incredibly versatile.

  1. When to wear: Engagement, reception, or cocktail party
  2. Fabric choices: Velvet for winter weddings, linen blends for summer, raw silk for the ceremony
  3. Styling: Pair with tailored trousers and a pocket square. Skip the tie — the nehru collar is the statement

    4. The Indo-Western Suit

    A hybrid that works brilliantly for fusion weddings or multi-cultural celebrations.

  4. Key elements: Western-cut jacket with Indian embroidery, or a kurta paired with tailored Western trousers
  5. Best designers: Raghavendra Rathore, Kunal Rawal, Shantanu & Nikhil

    6. Perfect for destination weddings where you want a modern yet culturally rooted look.

    The Cape Kurta

    Dramatic, fashion-forward, and perfect for grooms who want to make an entrance.

  6. How it works: A full-length or cropped cape worn over a simple kurta
  7. Best for: Sangeet or reception
  8. Tip: Keep the rest of the outfit minimal — the cape is the hero

    9. The Classic Kurta, Elevated

    Sometimes simplicity wins. A beautifully tailored kurta in luxe fabric with thoughtful details can be more impactful than any embellished outfit.

  9. Details that matter: Quality buttons, subtle threadwork on collar and cuffs, perfect fit
  10. Fabric: Chanderi silk, tussar, or fine cotton

    11. Footwear & Accessories

  11. Juttis: The traditional choice — opt for hand-embroidered mojaris from Jodhpur
  12. Brogues: A polished option for Indo-western looks
  13. Safa/Pagdi: Even for non-traditional outfits, a styled turban adds instant regality
  14. Watch: One luxury watch is the only accessory a groom needs beyond the pagdi

    15. Color Guide for Grooms

  15. Ceremony: Ivory, gold, maroon, or matching/complementing the bride
  16. Reception: Navy, emerald, charcoal, or black
  17. Sangeet: Experiment! Pastels, prints, or even florals
