Men, especially the grooms, are making the shifting from kurta-payjamas to sherwani-dhoti which gives a more regal look and feel.

We went ahead and researched about this shift in wedding attire trends in India and unearthed several interesting facts. Read on to know more about the sherwani-dhoti combination, the best options to buy off the internet and some tips on how you can complete the look with accessories and footwear.

Who Should Opt for a Sherwani-Dhoti Combination?

While the sherwani with dhoti combination is a really good one, it is better when it is opted by specific people only. It is so because the combination gives a very heavy, designer feel and should mostly be sported by people closely involved in the wedding. It wouldn’t suit someone who is not closely related as it might see a bit too overdone. So, the three kinds of people we think would absolutely rock the sherwani dhoti combination, are –

#1 Groom

Obviously, the groom is the first choice here. The royal feeling of the sherwani-dhoti combination is definitely one that will look fab on the groom, the man of the hour. There are formal options as well for the main events like the wedding itself or even the Sangeet and casual options that would look good in smaller events like Haldi or Maayera.

#2 Close Relatives or Friends of the Groom

Close relatives of the groom or even his close friends can opt for this wedding attire. It will also help them stand out from the crowd. The brother of the groom, his father and first cousins can opt for this look. Nowadays, if you are willing to go the extra mile, you can also find similar sherwani and dhoti combinations for the entire groom squad.

Just like the groom, the family of the bride and her close friends can also choose to wear a dhoti-sherwani combination. Especially, if the wedding party of the bride has several men involved apart from just the bridesmaids, then a dhoti-sherwani combo would help them really look the part.

What Can Be Paired with Sherwani-Dhoti?

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 –

#1 Mojri (or Jootiya)

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.

#2 Stole

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.

#3 Turban

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.
