While women are unashamedly
swooning over all things golden, men can safely dip their toes into gold
through the sober matte and rose versions of the metal
 |
| SHINY ACHKAN |
SHINY ACHKAN The achkan
is a traditional mainstay. Enhance its appeal by picking one in an
iridescent shade.Even better if it is subtly embroidered. Metallic
clothing is ruling the menswear runways and an iridescent will bring
that element of fusion. Keep the achkan open and wear a matching kurta
underneath for winter layering.
ROYAL EXCESS
This one's for men who are comfortable baring tradition and a rich sheen. Part Maratha prince and part Rajasthani royal, this look requires a golden pagadi and a three-piece heavy ensemble in rich winter fabrics like satin and velvet. Bring in a modern touch with a waistcoat decorated with oversized flowers.
MATTE AND ROSE GOLD
While women are unashamedly swooning over all things golden, men can safely dip their toes into gold through the sober matte and rose versions of the metal. Think golden jootis and a rose gold sherwani, offset with white churidar pyjamas. Stick to animal and nature motifs for the embellishments on your sherwani.
BLACK AND GOLD
The striking combination of jet black as dark as the night and stunning gold has trickled into men's festive wear too. Keep the pants simple, black and flowy and let the dupatta tie the look together through all-over jaali work. A pair of black-and-gold Jodhpuri jootis to go with the sherwani will be a match made in sartorial heaven.
GET WAISTED
Those waist cinchers that us Indians have been advocating for ages, and that westeners have taken to as cummerbunds, are back in the male domain. This is the accessory to wear at your nuptials if you want to go all out. Kalamkari, kantha, sequins, use any or all of these for a three-piece ensemble that could outdo the bride even!
HEAD-TO-TOE WHITE
Fans of India's first PM, Nehru sahab, could opt for this pristine look, since it reflects his simple traditional-meets-modern style and love for the colour white. Combine the reigning head-to-toe white clothing trend with the brogue shoe fetish currently gripping international celebrities, to create a striking look. The pagadi is the icing.
ORIENTAL SUIT
The fashion world is bringing Oriental motifs and cuts into formal attire in the form of samurai pants and kimono jackets. Make your wedding outfit a Japanese space-age entity even Mr Spock would envy through an A-line silhouette and rhombic motifs. Keep the pants fitted and the hair gelled and side-parted for a sleek finish.
RETRO IN MONOCHROME
For the groom of refined taste, whose actions speak louder than words, and personal sense of style whispers louder than brands, an elegant black-and-white ensemble is a clear winner. White or beige Jodhpur trousers that hark back to the 50s era and a sleek black bandhgala made of velvet, sparkling only at the collar is perfect.
