Indian weddings are colourful, beautiful and extravagant consisting of lots of ceremonies. Just like anybody, even the groom wants to look the best on his big day. However, more often than not, men stick to the old-fashioned wedding dresses instead of looking for something new, the reason being either laziness or lack of knowledge.
Don’t worry, if you are also a would-be-groom and searching for the best sherwani for your wedding day, here is our top 10 pics for you. Choose from these and see yourself looking absolutely great on your wedding day.
- Velvet Sherwani
Being the latest in trend, velvet can be seen almost everywhere these days. Not just bride but groom also wears velvet Kurta which looks absolutely stunning. However, this velvet sherwani looks good only in dark colours. If you are comfortable with velvet fabric and if the wedding function is taking place in evening, this is the perfect dress for you.
Dark blue, navy, royal green, maroon, crimson and vine these are some of the colours that look absolutely stunning. However, if you have dusky complexion, try to stick to maroon or crimson color (basically the darker shades of red) as blue and green can make you appear duskier. For those with fair complexion any colour looks fine, the best one being royal green.
In the bottom wear, a silk churidar or a Jodhpuri pant is just perfect, which can be paired it with Indian jutti. Make sure the jutti either has the tint of the same colour as your sherwani or has embroidery of that colour. You need not carry a dupatta with velvet sherwani as the patch work on these sherwanis leaves no need for the same. Accessorize it with a light-coloured turban and a golden watch and you are good to go.
- Chipkan Sherwani
Known as the reflector of the royalty, chipkan sherwani are inspired from contemporary era especially the Mughal period. This is the reason why it gives a royal look, the look of kings, emperors and rulers. Grooms are often seen carrying a sword with this sherwani. Apart from the cultural significance that the sword holds, it also gives the impression and aura of an emperor.
Since these sherwani are already very heavy, the accessories should be kept to bare minimum. You can use a turban matching the dupatta. These Kurta come in light colours so it is advisable to accessorize it with dark turban and dupatta. For footwear light coloured Indian juttis are the best.
- Indo-western Sherwanis
Coming in various colours, patterns, styles and length, non-western sherwani is creating a buzz in the market. Due to their ethnicity with a touch of modern style, these have recently become popular among youth. A short length sherwani with salwar is one such style you can wear. Apart from this, long sherwanis with dhotis also look great.
The choice of colours varies according to complexion, bottoms, fabric and your length. If you are dark in complexion follow the golden rule of sticking to natural shades. For fare complexion, dark colours are the way to go. In case of fabrics, velvet and silk are mostly in trend for these Kurta, though you can also try linen.
The embroidery and embellishments can be according to your choice. However, silk sherwani with self-design fabrics and block prints are in trend this summer. If you want to go for embroidery, pastel base with same coloured embroidery looks fine for day function for night you can stick to the dark and heavy patch work.
Although these sherwanis look good with salwar and dhotis, if you are not comfortable wearing them, you can always go for churidar. However, make sure if you are sticking with short length sherwanis, choose only salwar or dhoti and don’t make the blunder of wearing anything else.
The main problem of indo-western style is deciding which style will suit you the best and where to buy them from (considering the new presence in market). Make sure you are doing little bit research online for the styles and stick with some good website such as Nihal Fashions to get value for money.
- Coat-style Sherwani
Achkan has been there in the men’s wedding wear for decades. However, this time it has come with slight variations. Instead of typical skin colour, the latest trend is other pastel colours such as sea green and mob. Coat style sherwani gives a modern twist to royal style wedding Kurta.
If you want to pair it up, the best style would be going with a colour slightly lighter than the sherwani. Although churidar might look good with these sherwanis, the best way to go is narrow pajamas or straight pants. Another thing to keep in mind for achkan style sherwani is that unlike other sherwains, the bottom of this one should be made of the same fabric as the coat.
An Albert chain adds charm and elegance to this style. Make sure you are going with some beady work for Albert chain and it should match your turban and Jutti. If needed, you can take a dupatta and the best look would be matching accessories of same colours with sherwani of a contrasting colour.
- Sherwani with Angrakha
Since old times, several emperors are seen wearing angrakha. This was prominently worn because of the enrichment it used to give to a man’s physical appearance. However, with time the reason changed but the style did not. Even today, sherwani with angrakha is one of the best choices for a man with good physique.
If the wedding fashion experts are to be believed this one sherwani fails the need for other accessories as it is complete in itself. The neckline, cuffs and collars, all are beautifully embellished and embroidered and leave no space for anything else. Just choose the sherwani which you find most attractive and pair it with a churidar and jutti and you are ready for your big day.
Since this is a traditional dress and new innovations did not happen to this style, the options are limited. You will find only a few colours that are various hues of cream shade. Therefore, if you are not comfortable wearing cream shades, this sherwani is not meant for you.
- Slit- Sherwani
Slit is a new trend in the town. Talk about anything, cotton Kurta, a silk long sherwani or long overcoat, everything looks good with a slit. The only difference these sherwanis have is change in the pattern of slit. Instead of mid or side slit they come with a mid-hem slit now. Not only does it give a new fresh look but also creates an illusion of a being tall.
While selecting slit sherwani you should keep a few things in mind. First of all, the colours should be light for long length sherwani and dark for short length ones. Second, the sherwani should be printed and not embellished. An embellished side slit is obviously a fashion blunder that you wouldn’t want to commit on your special day.
A silk kurta with self-print is one of the best styles. Floral prints are in trend this summer and give you a whole new refreshing look. However, if you want to try something different some quirky patterns are also look good. Make sure you are pairing them up with the right kind of bottom, pants being the best option for you.
- The Nawabi Sherwani
This Pakistani style sherwani is a perfect mix of contemporary design with modern fashion. Take the trendiest pastel colour and do heavy embroidery on neckline and sleeves and your nawabi sherwani is ready. Made especially for weddings, these sherwanis are not only comfortable as they are light-weight but are also ultra-fashionable as the sleeves give you a royal feel.
Pair them with churidar of contrasting colours unlike other sherwanis and you will get a perfect look for your wedding day. However, do not commit a blunder by pairing it with something other than the churidar.
For footwear, stay away from anything embellished and dark in colour. A plain or lightly embroidered jutti is the best option for you. You can also match the colour of jutti with your dupatta and style it by keeping it on one of your shoulders (you don’t want to hide the beautiful embroidery, do you?)
- Golden Sherwani from Golden city
Often known as the golden city of India, Jodhpur is famous for its golden sherwani. The kings and rulers of Jodhpur kingdom used to wear these sherwanis, since then, even when that era died, the fashion made it to the books of groom fashion. Due to its association with royal weddings, it is considered one of the elitist classes of sherwanis.
The golden sherwani gives you an all-golden look, where everything from turban to jutti is covered with golden fabric. However, you can choose from different designs of fabrics and patterns of golden sherwani. For example, heavy golden embroidered Kurta were in trend till last year but this year, light golden thread work has replaced it in the market. Golden brocade sherwanis are also the buzz in groom fashion industry.
- Sherwani with plates
If you thought anarkali dresses were meant only for girls you are wrong. Often known as the anarkali sherwani, sherwani’s with plates are also in trend these days. They give you both a royal yet a modern look in one dress. Given the uniqueness and charm that it holds, anarkali sherwani is also considered the sherwani of sultans.
The number of plates and heaviness of embroidery sets the price of these sherwani. Though this sherwani can be a bit on heavier side when compared to others, this is sure to give you a handsome look for your wedding. However, if you do not prefer really heavy clothes, you can select from the options of less plates and less embroidery.
Another version of anarkali sherwani is the anarkali with heavy jacket. You can try light plain anarkali kurtas in chiffon, georgette, silk or net fabric and pair it with some heavy coat or bandi. The pastel coloured plain anarkali looks great with dark coloured bandi and can be paired with pajami, churidars and Indian Jutti.
- Bandi-Sherwani
A waist coat or a jacket has been in trend for quite some time now but they were often seen with normal cotton kurta. This time bandi has made it to the sherwani’s market. Any look ranging from heavy on heavy to light on heavy appear good in this style but the best one is heavy bandi on light sherwani.
Talking about the length of bandi, you have options of short, mid and long length coat. All of these styles are unique and give different look. If you are looking for something really classy and ready to shed some extra bucks, you can go ahead with a plain pastel kurta with full length embroidered (small embroidery) long coat.
The long coat is one of the looks that are liked by all and a lot of celebrities are also seen wearing the same. You can make changes to this style by selecting the pattern and design of print and embroidery on the coat. Though light colours are the best one for these sherwanis, dark coloured coat will also look great especially on the wedding evening.
