Wedding season is the only time when men get to flaunt their best ethnic side. From a sherwani to suits to kurtas and dhotis, there are so many traditional outfits for men to style. But if you think a sherwani is the only traditional outfit that a man can wear during traditional festivities, you need to check out the latest styles in men’s ethnic wear.
If you’ve been wearing your sherwani for every traditional event and begging for a change, you simply need to revise your look. Did you know that you can style sherwanis in different ways for a unique look? Check out this fashion guide, which will help you pull off traditional wear in unique ways.
- Sherwanis: A regular sherwani comes with a short stole or a dupatta, and you even get the option to wear it with or without the dupatta. But if you want to pull off a more regal look, say for a destination wedding happening at a palace hotel, you can accessorize your look with a longer, embroidered shawl. You can have a customized shawl to complement your sherwani. You can also check out the different ways to drape the shawl to create a majestic look. You can try this look if you are the groom or the best man.
- Short kurta with dhoti pants: If you want to wear something nobody will be wearing during traditional events, you need to opt for dhoti pants. While traditional dhotis can be difficult to drape and maintain, dhoti pants are hassle-free to wear. A pre-draped dhoti pant can perfectly blend with your short kurta. From a festival to pre-wedding festivities, this look is an ideal one to pull off. You can even add a layer to your look with a long Nehru jacket. Go with or without the jacket; it’s all about styling to pull off this dapper look.
- Printed bandhgala suits: A bandhgala is a timeless suit for traditional events such as pre-wedding festivities. But instead of opting for solid colours, you can stick to floral and quirky prints for a unique look. For an offbeat vibe, you can try out different prints to match your trousers.
- Draped kurtas: Wearing regular kurtas can become boring, which is why draped kurtas can give you a unique look at weddings. In this kurta, the draped fabric starts from the hemline, giving the illusion of an attached dupatta. You can also try out a unique look, such as wearing a kurta with the drape on just one side and leaving the other half plain, for an asymmetrical look.
- Asymmetric kurtas: To break free from the routine of wearing simple kurtas, asymmetric kurtas will give a modern twist to your ethnic look. In these types of asymmetric kurtas, the hemline is slanted instead of straight. You can even wear an angarakha asymmetric kurta where the buttons are placed on the side instead of the center. You can pair this look with trousers, churidars, and even dhoti pants.
These are the best ethnic wear for men to try out this festive season.
