Grooming the Groom

Wedding Fashion isn’t only for the women folk, now is it?

Indian Weddings has its own perks and one of them is not leaving a man behind on the sartorial quotient of the whole “sha-bang”. Be it tailor-mades or downright ethnic, the orient provides an enormous walk in closet for every man today.

Tarun Tahiliani, simply the king of combining traditional Indian ethnic-wear with European silhouettes, mentioned in this year’s Vogue Wedding Show, that the groom certainly has a lot to look forward to. “Embroidered and tailored to perfection, in sherwanis, kurtas, bandhgalas” are the points to follow, he said.

If your man is a lover of the blatant traditional, sherwanis are the perfect go-to option. Velvet is in for the winter and going minimal on the top with an innovative silk dhoti is an fool-proof look for those simple receptions or those sangeets. POCO & JACKY offer a new edge to sherwanis with their velvet piece in indigo. Short in the front and a longer trail in the back is completely fresh for the season

Match the piece up with a white kurta inlay and their silk dhoti with a golden patchwork border and this will save you a little on the wallet. Also, don’t be surprised when you face a little competition for attention against your groom-to-be.

2016 beckons for an edge this season. In recent wedding shows around the peninsula, the want for the “India Modern” campaign shows off what a man is missing in his wedding wardrobe this winter. “Traditional is alright”, says Ayush Mehra, director of Studio by Janak. “But, [a suit] coupled with impeccable taste, bespoke outfitting services and flawless fabric, makes for a wardrobe that expresses comfort, luxury and fashion in equal measure.”, he adds.

It’s the age of the classic: menswear silhouettes are going sleeker in a neutral color palette.

Timeless pieces are the focus of the season such as charcoal grey suits and Nehru jackets with hints of embroidery.
