The bride is not the only one who is involved in the wedding day. When the moment comes to say I do, every groom should stand tall, and he should exude a regal and personal presence. At Suvidha Fashion, the right sherwani for men wedding is the key to unlocking that flawless look. It is more than an outfit; it is a statement of tradition, style, and future promise. 

But where do you go to find that perfect piece in the luxurious world of men's ethnic wear? Everything begins with the basics. 

1. The Principle: The Knowledge of Fabric and Feel

The sherwani fabric determines the shape, comfort, and formality of your sherwani. The first step to finesse is to make a wise choice: 

Silk & Brocade

This fabric is the ultimate choice for a grand, traditional wedding. Their natural shine and lavishness automatically express wealth. A heavy silk or brocade sherwani for groom is an heirloom-worthy choice, often featuring intricate Zari or Zardozi work. 

Velvet

Velvet is an excellent winter wedding or evening reception colour, a rich and deep hue with a most royal touch. It is a fabric that needs minimal embellishment to appear magnificent. 

Art Silk and Cotton-Silk Blends

These are very comfortable and well-balanced. They are also lighter and thus suited to the daytime events, such as the Haldi or Sangeet, without losing out on a classy appearance. 

Georgette/Linen

These fabrics are a flowy, contemporary drape, which is used in modern or destination weddings. They are breathable and can be cut in a more modern way, such as asymmetrical hemlines. 

2. Colour: Co-ordinating Your Vows

The colour of your wedding sherwani will determine the kind of appearance you will have, and hopefully, the colour should match that of your partner. 

Timeless Classics

Ivory, cream, and classic gold remain favourites for the main ceremony. They are a symbol of grace and purity, particularly when they are embellished with a heavy ornament of gold or silver.

 

Daring and royal

Maroon, deep navy, and forest green are bold and commanding colors that are royal and confident.

 

The Modern Palette

Pastels are in their time. A sherwani for men in blush pink, mint green, or soft lilac will provide a cool, modern appearance that is ideal for a day wedding or pre-wedding events.

  

3. The Details: Embroidery and Embellishment

The detailing of a sherwani is the real art. And do not merely consider the density, but also the style: 

Zardozi & Resham

These thick threadworks are the trademarks of the traditional wedding attire, which gives a three-dimensional and beautiful finish. 

Minimalist Detail

To the modern groom, a smooth, straight-cut sherwani with just a bit of embroidery at the collar and cuffs says a lot. 

Sequins & Stones

To create a glamorous effect during an evening party, a few sequins or mirror-work can be used, but placed with care so as not to cause any sort of glare when the lights are on. 

4. Silhouette: The Ideal Fit to a King

The fit is paramount. A sherwani that is well-made will ensure that you feel comfortable and confident throughout the day. 

Traditional

Knee-length (or longer) with a full, royal fit, and usually worn with a churidar pajama.

 

Achkan/Jodhpuri

A jacket that is shorter and more fitted with a sharper and cosmopolitan look. The style is commonly used in reception or cocktail parties.

Indo-Western

These sherwanis are a combination of traditional designs with contemporary cuts, like asymmetrical layers or cowl drapes, which give them an edgy and contemporary look.

FAQs 

Q1: Which is the most conventional sherwani colour of a groom?

A: Deep reds, maroons, gold, and ivory are conventionally regarded as the most traditional and auspicious colours of the main wedding sherwani of a groom. 

Q2: Is the sherwani of the groom supposed to match with bride's?

A: It is not supposed to be the same, but is supposed to be a complement to the dress of the bride. This is normally done through matching one major colour, fabric detail, or embroidery shade (e.g., the dupatta of the groom to one of the shades of the lehenga of the bride). 

Q3: What is the best sherwani to wear during a summer wedding?

A: Blended silk, cotton-silk, linen-silk blends, or raw silk are the most appropriate options when it comes to a comfortable sherwani that men wear during warmer seasons. 

Q4: What is the difference between an Achkan and a Sherwani?

A: An Achkan is generally shorter and tighter, and more tailored, and may look like a coat. The conventional sherwani is also usually longer (usually below the knee) and more voluminous and heavily embroidered. 

Q5: What do you think are the accessories to the sherwani?

A: Necessary accessories are a turban (safa), a patterned stole or dupatta, a statement brooch or kilangi, and traditional Indian shoes such as Mojaris or Juttis.
