The sovereign robe of men's sherwani has come a long way since its inception during the period of British India in the nineteenth century, when it was considered the court dress for the nobles and Mughals of the time. Since then, it has established itself as the "Classic" ethnic wear for men, and in the modern era, it has undergone numerous transformations to keep up with the emerging ultra-modern fashion trends.

We will show you how to smartly match your sherwani over premium vests to your personality and body shape as you present yourself in the most spectacular form for the grand event.

Wedding Sherwani:

Designer sherwanis are an important part of the groom's wardrobe for big fat north Indian weddings. This magnificent attire is anticipated as the precious treasure outfit, and it must be picture perfect for the royal wedding ceremony.

Six important considerations should be made when selecting a sherwani:

  • Not to compromise with the fabric quality, this should be the finest.
  • The embroidery & embellishments on it should be the work of expert craftsmanship.
  • Should be of perfect body fit.
  • Accurate color pick as per the skin tone.
  • Right accessorizing.
  • Co-ordinate your sherwani with your bride’s outfit.

Four important tips towards perfect wedding sherwani as per your body structure:

If you have a muscular build, choose a sherwani with churidar pants or nice fitted pants, or an Angarkha sherwani with churidar bottoms. These sherwani silhouettes will accentuate your strong body frame, giving your overall personality a bold look.

If you have a normal structure and are short in stature, avoid sherwani and instead opt for well-fitted suits/tuxedos or dhoti kurta and accessorising with a nicely tied satin turban/safa with jewelled brooches to add inches to your height. Avoid wearing too many accessories.

If you have a bulky frame, you can wear a Patiala bottomed sherwani or a Jodhpuri bottomed sherwani with a waistcoat or Modi jacket. Choose monochromatic colours for the bottom, especially darker tones that contrast with the sherwani. The sherwani should be a perfect fit rather than baggy. Avoid using panels in your outfit.

If you are tall and slim, opt for an Indo-western sherwani or kurta with Patiala pants or white lungi with golden border and a well-fitted jacket. You should avoid wearing slim-fitting pants or churidar because they will make you appear leaner. Avoid monochromatic tones in favour of vibrant dual tones. Avoid vertical designs in favour of horizontal ones, which will give you a wider frame.

Indowestern Shervani / Achkans:

The introduction of "Indowestern sherwani" has given a boost to the traditional men's ethnic attire of sherwani. With its intriguing fashion development, this popular type of sherwani has gained a significant amount of recognition in modern times. The creative fusion of traditional and contemporary style has given the attire a fantastic look.

Five short tips to style your Indo western sherwani/achkans:

  1. Classy brooches, contrasting perfectly placed pocket squares, smart gold cufflinks, and stylish handcrafted footwear complete the look.
  2. If you are short in stature, avoid overlayering and instead focus on accessories and the right pair of shoes.
  3. Display your statement style by wearing a shawl or safa for the occasion.
  4. You can choose printed achkans, but keep prints to a minimum. Make sure it complements your personality.
  5. Make sure you're dressed comfortably enough to dance with your family.

As we come to the end of this blog post, we hope that all of the men out there are ready to make their wedding wardrobe look stunning with the style tips provided above. Best wishes!!!
