The wedding guest's guide to wedding dressing.
Now that the wedding season is upon us, it’s time for all of
you gentlemen to revamp your ethnic wardrobe. And we know, dressing for a
wedding which isn’t yours in not an easy job to do! So we’ve compiled a short
list here to help you dress for your friend’s/Sister’s/Aunt’s big day, without
outdoing the groom.
First, the Mehendi:
Go all traditional for this one. Wear a classic Kurta-Pyjama
set with a simple, but stylish Bandi. Natural fabrics would be the best for
this event. So think: Jutes, Linens and Cottons. But of course, bright colours;
Or at least, a hint of bright colours. Try a Pathani or a Patiala bottom with
the kurta, instead of the regular churidaar.
Sangeet Ceremony:
Sangeet Ceremony:
The Sangeet is usually THE MOST photographed event of the
wedding week, even more than the wedding day. And since we’ve already done
traditional for the Mehendi ceremony, time to make this outfit a little
Indo-Western. Opt for stylish Bandhgalas, with big metal buttons in bronze or antique
gold tones. Add other designer details like a zipper opening, or play around
with the cut of the collar. Match this with sleek, slim-fit trousers or
semi-jodhpuri pants and you’re set!
Wedding Ceremony:
Now this is one event where you MUST keep things
traditional. Since the groom will be culturally restricted in terms of the
colours he can wear, it gives you the option to try a variety. And just because
it’s tradional, doesn’t mean it can’t be stylish! You can go for a long open
jacket in tradional silks, matched with a bright coloured dhoti. Printed
velvets are all the rage right now and they make for very stylish Nehru
Jackets!
Reception:
While this event is almost strictly western for the groom,
you can try an indo-western look, if you didn’t already wear something similar
for another event. Which means both Bandhgala or a classic suit is suitable for
this day. Avoid wearing a waistcoat, as you may look overdressed. Match this
with a nice, bright pocket square, you’re all good to go.
Happy Weddings!
