Stylish Ethnic Wear Ideas for Men to Get a Fashionable Makeover

For obvious reasons, women are notoriously known as shopaholics! And, let's face it, all that shopping zeal pays off in the end when those eyeballs are directed your way. But we all know how relaxed the men in the house are when it comes to shopping! While some people aren't crazy about shopping, others just don't seem to have the time. We can't change their ways, but we can give you some trendy tips to follow this season that your men can try to make them look just as stunning as you do. And for all the fashion-conscious men out there, we've compiled a list of designer-approved trends in Indian menswear that you can try this season to give yourself a fashion makeover:

Take-it-easy daily styles

We all know men who aren't fans of kurta pyjamas or dhoti or cotton lungi, but we can assure you that there is nothing more comfortable and stylish than a fabulous Indian silhouette. For one day, swap out your shirts and polo t-shirts for this amazing Indian outfit, and you'll be surprised at how versatile it is! If you're not comfortable with such a drastic change, you can also wear kurtas with your regular denims for a subtle Indo-western look. A monotone that looks like a Punjabi suit is your go-to style for any occasion, from a casual day out to a formal occasion.

Casually formal

The majority of people mistakenly believe that women have more clothing options than men. We are determined to change your mind because that is completely false! Indian styles such as kurta pyjamas, sherwani, achkans, and Jodhpuris are just a few examples; there is a plethora of options available for men as well if you look a little harder. Embellished kurta pyjamas with Nehru jackets, sherwani with contrast dhoti, a long kurta with churidar and dupatta are some great formal Indian attires that will definitely woo those lovely ladies!

Festive mode on!

Who hasn't struggled with choosing an appropriate formal outfit for those festivities and celebration nights? The obvious choice would be shirt and trousers, but we strongly advise you to go Indian! For a traditional festive look, make a dramatic entrance to those get-togethers in an Indo Western sherwani. A long achkan with churidar is a very royal ethnic outfit that you should try on. Achkan, as we all know, were worn by royal emperors and still exude the same elegance that they did centuries ago. So grab one and see how many heads turn your way!

Eye turning grooms wear

This section is for aspiring grooms who want to go above and beyond to complement their lady love with their own glitz. Because the wedding is all about compatibility and understanding, why not let it shine through in your attire as well? After all, your wedding is the most important event for just the two of you. With so many Indian designers introducing stunning ethnic styles on a daily basis, you will never be short of options. You can experiment with styles that complement your bride-to-be, ranging from a low-key kurta over cotton vest and churidar to a high-end sherwani. While you don't have to be drenched in the same colours, a little mixing and matching is never a bad thing. Because many men are breaking colour taboos, you can experiment with unusual colours such as golden, yellow, purple, and blues.

While this is just a basic list of the most popular men's styles, you can always experiment and develop your own unique look. In this day and age of fashion blogging, there are numerous instant style guides available with the click of a button!
