Making groom for fab style!

Men are experimenting with various colours, fabrics, embellishments,
and even accessories, for their big day.

While it’s mostly the brides who are spoilt for choice
when it comes to their wedding attire, men aren’t far behind. Many
designers today are venturing into the menswear sphere and offering
choices in terms of cuts, colours and silhouettes. Grooms are getting
classy in their choice of garments and are no longer sticking to heavy
embroidered sherwanis, says Sandeep Khapra, head design, Blackberrys.
“One of the most popular style for grooms is a Nehru collar suit; and
for a younger stylised version of this, one can opt for an asymmetrical
front. A tuxedo is the hottest item in formal menswear today. While
black or dark grey, with a white shirt, is a classic combination, if
you’re bold you could go for a bu rgundy or teal shirt,” he says. Shoes
are also very important for your look — dark tan, burgundy or dark grey
are the new colours.
Designer Anita Dongre says while men are going experimental, the traditional bandhgala is still an all-time favourite. “A traditional look is preferred and most grooms stick to sherwanis because they are ethnic, functional and attractive. Rich fabrics like handwoven brocade add a royal feel to the attire while embroidery should be kept minimal. In fact, I often use light resham embroidery which looks like a part of the fabric to give an understated and stylish look,” she says adding, accessories are just as important as the outfit. The kamarbandh adds a dash of flamboyance while jadau buttons are an absolute must-have for that royal look. Other accessories like turban, sarpech, tie pins, cuff links, can complete your look. Grooms also coordinate their outfit with their brides’, says Mrinmoy Mukherjee of Raymond. “There’s lot of variation in terms of colour with deep wine, purple, cream and dull gold being popular choices. Grooms are styling their outfit with crystal cufflinks, traditional brooches and even colourful printed pocket squares that add a highlight to the garment and match with their bride’s attire.” |
