Tuxedo

A tuxedo is more appropriate for a wedding reception than for a party, but you can wear it to your wedding as well. Wearing a tuxedo to a wedding is not recommended in Western countries, but it is acceptable in India if no other option is available.

A Formal Suit

A classic suit over cotton vests is more appropriate for a board meeting, but this is also a popular choice for grooms at Indian weddings. If you decide to wear a suit to your wedding, make sure it is stitched or altered to fit your size.

Three Piece Suit

This is similar to a regular suit, but it is accompanied by a waistcoat or an inner jacket. This outfit is ideal for wedding receptions and engagement ceremonies. Make sure your outfit complements your partner's outfit.

Shawl Lapel Suit

This suit has a jacket with a lapel rather than a collar. It is usually made of a different fabric than the main fabric of the jacket.

Indo-Western Suits

These are Indian interpretations of western-style suits. Indo-western suits, which resemble a Jodhpuri suit, look rich and give you a more casual look if you want to avoid the traditional Indian wear look.

Suits are a timeless look that can be worn to a wedding, engagement, or reception. Nothing says class like a well-fitting suit that complements your personality.

Best Traditional Wedding Dresses for Men In India:

The look that most Indian men prefer for their wedding is traditional wedding wear. There are numerous traditional outfit options available for your D-Day, as listed below:

The Quintessential Wedding Sherwani

According to legend, the Sherwani first appeared in India in the 1820s in Lucknow. It has always been associated with Kings and Princes. The most common type of Sherwani is the 'Achkan' sherwani, which is worn with a Churidar as the bottom half of the outfit.

Sherwanis are now available in a variety of styles and sizes, ranging from basic cotton to authentic gold embroidery and even diamond studding. If you're looking for the ideal wedding dress for men in India, the Sherwani is the way to go. In India, the cost of a sherwani can range from a few thousand to a couple of lakh rupees.

Depending on the time of your wedding and the weather, you can accessorise the sherwani with a stole or a shawl. To finish the look, add some royal jewellery, such as necklaces, a brooch and pin, and an amazing pagadi.

The Royal Jodhpuri

As the name implies, a Jodhpuri suit originated in Jodhpur, Rajasthan. It has a similar illustrious history to the sherwani. Its classic Indo-western appearance makes it a very appealing design not only in India, but also around the world.

Jodhpuri dresses are the choice of Rajasthani royalty and consist of a coat and trousers, sometimes with an inner vest. It resembles suits worn in Western countries, but its collar, known as Bandhgala, distinguishes it.

The Humble Yet Elegant Kurta

If you prefer to keep things simple, opt for the traditional Kurta pyjama. Don't believe those who say it's 'too simple' for a wedding. Men's kurtas come in thousands of designs that you can wear to your wedding. However, don't skimp on the fabric and material. A premium silk kurta in a colour that flatters you will look great on you, and you can pair it with matching pyjamas.

Along with the kurta, you can wear a stole or scarf. You can also complete the look by wearing a Nehru jacket. Of course, a matching pair of men's juttis is required.

Jacket Up With Nehru Jackets

If you can pull it off correctly, a jacket will add a nice personality to your wedding outfit. Contrast the colour of your jacket with your kurta pyjama. Wear it with a silk pocket square or a brooch to add small details.

Jackets come in a variety of styles, including Nehru jackets, bandhgalas, waistcoats, and the now-famous Modi jacket. They make an excellent outfit for Indian grooms and can be worn during any ceremony, such as an engagement, reception, or any of your traditional ceremonies.
