While the sherwani with dhoti combination is a really good one, it is better when it is opted by specific people only.

Styling a dhoti-sherwani combination is of prime importance because if you don’t do it right, the entire attire will be a misfit. While styling a dhoti-sherwani look, it must be kept in mind that the real essence of the dress is maintained.

Whatever footwear or accessories you choose must complement the royal feel of the dress. We suggest you choose one (or all) of these three things depending on what you prefer to go with your attire for the day –

When choosing footwear, we would always recommend opting for a pair of mojri or jootiya. The handcrafted, old-world charm of this particular type of shoe is perfect to be paired with a sherwani and dhoti.

The best part is that unlike regular shoes, there are hundreds of options in mojri and jootiya. You can choose from all shades of colours and even choose the kind of design (often called embroidery) you want on it.

A stole is something that can replace the normal fabric that you often pair with a kurta payjama. However, this is best when sported by the groom because the rest of the people mostly have a lot of running around to do and managing a stole while it might be a tad bit difficult. There are several options in stoles as well with a range of fabrics, colours and designs. You can also opt for colour coordinated stoles or standard golden or black ones.

To round off the royal look and feel for the day, a turban is the best thing. Often also referred to as a ‘Safa’, this will give a very old-world charm to the attire. The groom and his squad can opt for turbans or even the close relatives of the bride can opt for turbans.

You might not be aware, but, in certain parts of the country, the turban (or the ‘safa’) is tied in a small ceremony of its own to pay respect to the elders of the family. It is seen as a mark of respect and the turban is often equated with one’s pride.
