THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO INDIAN WEDDING OUTFITS FOR GROOM

This year, due to COVID, a lot of weddings have restricted guests. But when it is your close friend's or relative's wedding, you cannot possibly skip it. So once you receive the wedding car, the first question that pops into your head is: What will I wear for the wedding guest outfit? Yes, even guys think about their wedding outfit’s days prior. We all know how many options women have when it comes to wedding outfits. But Karma Place is here to tell you that even though men think they do not have a lot of fancy outfits to wear at the wedding, they could not be more wrong! Let us tell you about the amazing options men can flaunt at an Indian wedding function.

Maybe during the last decade, men did not have a lot of options in ethnic clothing, but since then, the fashion industry has evolved a lot, and now there are loads of options available for men so that they can show off their style at the wedding festivities. If you are one of the guys who is confused about what to wear or whether an outfit will be overdressed or underdressed, then this blog is a must-read for you. You can opt for a dashing bandhagala, a royal sherwani, a designer Indian suit, or a kurta pajama with a fancy Nehru jacket, depending on the function and your closeness to the people getting married.

First of all, check the wedding invitation for the dress code. You should ideally be wearing ethnic attire for the wedding functions and Indo-western or western outfits for receptions. Gone are the days where men would walk into the festivities wearing a simple kurta pajama or a common sherwani. So here is the list of styles you can wear to the next wedding function you attend. The new generation of men loves to experiment with their style and coordinate a great ensemble, which not only makes them look stunning but also makes them stand out in the crowd.

FLORAL JACKETS

We have seen a lot of color-blocked Sherwanis and embroidered jackets. But floral-printed jackets are a new trend in town. We are sure most of you have seen this trend on television, in magazines, and, of course, all over social media, but are skeptical to try the floral prints. Well, my friend, it's all about experimenting with your style statement this decade.

GEOMETRIC PRINTED JACKETS 

This is for all those who do not like floral prints, even though they are much in trend, or who think everyone is going to be wearing florals at the function and they want to stand out. Just because you do not want to wear florals does not mean you should be wearing simple color-block kurtas. You can pick up jackets with geometric prints. And it is counted as one of the best Indian wedding outfits for grooms.

PRINTED WAISTCOATS OR NEHRU JACKETS 

If you have kurtas at home that have been worn earlier at functions and have been clicked in, and you do not wish to repeat the same look, then a printed waistcoat is the perfect option for you. You can just put on a waistcoat with any of your kurta sets and achieve a completely different look. Prints are in this season. The best way to look stylish and yet spend very little time styling yourself is by adding a printed waistcoat over a plain kurta pajama set. This ensemble can be worn for your sibling's or friend's Haldi or Mehandi ceremony.

PATHANI SUIT

Pathani suits are a very old trend but are still definitely a head-turner. It is sure to grab some female attention at the functions and the after-party. Also, we are sure you know how comfortable they are to be in all day. In addition to being comfortable, they also add some amount of masculinity to your overall personality.

BRIGHT KURTA SETS

Indian weddings call for wearing bright and bold colors in shiny fabrics. Wear these beautifully colored kurtas for your Mehandi and Haldi ceremonies. If you want to wear a completely traditional ensemble for the functions, then you can wear a pre-stitched dhoti along with a bright-colored kurta and a contrasting simple Nehru jacket.

SHERWANI - INDIAN WEDDING OUTFITS FOR THE GROOM

If you know the wedding is going to be extremely glamorous and everyone’s outfits are going to scream royalty, then go all out and pick up a glam sherwani made of silk material. Your sherwani need not always be embroidered. It can look equally dapper, even though it is a simple sherwani with no prints or embroidery. We are in love with this white and black sherwani. It’s so simple yet so elegant! In case you would like to go even heavier on the sherwani, why not opt for a nice printed one? Or you could also opt for a self-printed sherwani.

DESIGNER ACHKAN KURTA

Can anyone go wrong with the designer knee-length achkan? Not!!! Men's Indian wedding outfits for grooms look best when they are bright and catchy yet not too overboard with the detailing. What better way to celebrate the joyous occasion than wearing a dapper, bright-colored designer kurta, which is extremely comfortable to wear and appealing to the eyes?

Lastly, let us give you a few pointers to remember while attending an Indian wedding.

1] Avoid overdressing and overaccessorizing yourself.

2] Make sure you are comfortable in your outfits, as you will be wearing them for at least 6–7 hours, maybe even longer!

3] Say no to funky informal dressing. You cannot attend a wedding in flip-flops and shorts and your other casual outfits.

4] Add some bling to your outfits by wearing a classy watch or some cufflinks, or even opt for a fancy broach on your jacket.

5] We hope the doubt of where to buy the best and most trendy Indian wedding outfits for grooms is now clear.
