You Want to Look Nothing but Your Best on Your Wedding: 10 Mesmerising Sherwanis for Grooms and Tips on How to Pick One That's Best for You! (2020)

This is one of the essential aspects that you need to consider. When you are selecting a sherwani for your wedding, you might hear a lot of suggestions – you will wear the sherwani very rarely, you can spend the money elsewhere, everyone only looks at the bride in a marriage, etc. Don’t listen to any of it. It is your marriage (a once in a lifetime occasion), and you need to look as radiant as the bride. You should choose a sherwani with a high-quality fabric (preferably brocade or silk) with heavy embroidery and embellishments. Your sherwani should be stylish, elegant, classy, and something that makes you stand out in the crowd so that all the guests can identify the groom from afar. You should not end up looking like the groom’s brother because of a cheap low-quality sherwani and feel miserable throughout your own wedding!

Once you have finalised the quality of the sherwani, you need to take great care about its fitting. An Indian wedding is not a single ceremony affair; there are several ceremonies and a lot of movement involved – you need to ride a horse, stand on the stage, sit on the throne, sit on the ground in the mandap, have dinner on the table, play games with the bride and sometimes, even dance. Consequently, the fit of your sherwani should be such that it should neither be too tight which creates discomfort in the movement of your limbs nor should it be loose and ill-fitting which does not do justice to your well-toned muscular body achieved after spending so many hours in the gym. Your sherwani needs to be just the right fit which accentuates your height and body.

Once you have decided on the sherwani, you need to pick up the right lower garment and other accessories. You can go in for a churidar pyjama or a dhoti or Jodhpur breeches. The colour of the lower garment should complement the sherwani. You also need to choose and select the right footwear (jooti or mojris), turban (safa), scarf and any other accessories (like a sword, necklace, brooch, etc.) which highlight your masculinity. All the accessories should be in complete synchronisation and compliment each other. You need to look like a prince, and your elegance should not be compromised by a poorly chosen accessory. At the same time, your accessories and lower garment should not make you feel uncomfortable during the wedding, after all, you will be wearing it for a long time.

Sherwanis come in various designs, patterns, colours and trends. You should do meticulous research of the latest trends in sherwanis and only then decide which design and pattern would suit your skin tone and body type the best. For example, if you are short and thin, you should go with padded shoulders which will give you a more well-built appearance. If your skin tone is dark, avoid brighter shades. If you are healthy, you should avoid large patterns. It is always prudent to seek the advice of a professional when deciding the style and pattern of the sherwani. A classic colour which never goes out of fashion is always a safe choice.

In the 21st century when everyone aspires to have “The Big Fat Wedding”, where even the smallest of ceremonies are rehearsed and choreographed under the expert guidance of professional event managers and wedding planners, to make them look perfect, you cannot take chances with the actual wedding ceremony. The groom and the bride should look magnificent together, like a match made in heaven, not only in the actual ceremony but also in the images and videos which you will be sharing in your social circle for a long, long time. You can speak to the bride about the colour and pattern of her bridal lehenga and then decide the sherwani which will suit best. You can also choose to do your marriage shopping together so that you get the advantage of each other’s opinion on what will look glorious on both of you.
