The Ultimate Clothing Guide for Men This Wedding Season: Drop Your Winter Wedding Woes and Check These 10 Wedding Kurtas for Men (2019)

With the wedding season just around the corner, your shelf is probably going to start getting flooded with invitations for wedding functions and receptions. The most Indian thing about our wedding is how we can not have enough of the party, and thus a single wedding function ends up having 4 mini functions, all filled with the must-have festive energy, age-old traditions and lots of dancing!

With each such function comes up the stress of picking out the right clothes and accessories to pair them with. So, looking at the pile of wedding invitations, we do not want you to face any dilemma, so here we have a complete guide for you on what to consider while picking out clothes for each function and the many outfits and accessories you can go for, to look your most chic self for the party.

Neither do we wish to overdo our outfit, nor want to look out of place and not appropriately dressed for the occasion, so, the confusion is indeed real. To portray one’s fashionable self without compromising on comfort is the goal for every millennial today, as they pick out clothes for any event. But apart from the trends and serenity, there are a few more things you should be considering to avoid any wardrobe mishap in your day to day life. These are the fabric you use, colour schemes, and colour coordination for your clothes and an essential factor – the accessories you carry with yourself.

You need not wear thick clothes in scorching heat in the summer or show that stylish shirt at the cost of freezing in the cold without a jacket on. Comfort is the new fashion trend for us millennials. So, go for a breathable and weather appropriate choice, and you will already be halfway done with being the most fashion-forward one in the room. For a summer party, shop for light coloured cottons, denim, linen, and blends, while avoiding polyester, rayon, and silk, especially if you don’t want those dreadful sweat patches. As for a winter event, it is always better to choose fabrics such as woollen, knits, which can keep you warm and protected.

As for a few accessories to carry for a wedding, obviously apart from your regular wristwatches, wrist bands and a smile, would be cuff-links and tie bars, pocket squares and cravats which go with your attire, sherwani brooches and kamarbands, royal looking dupattas and stoles, and so on, depending on your personal style and eye for fashion.

Looking for an edgy, western twist to your traditional full sleeved kurta, you can try pairing it up with a well-fitted sleeveless waistcoat. Wear these on a pair of pleated trousers, adding a simple, bright coloured pocket square or ascot tie or cravat around the neck, giving the entire outfit a formal, trendy and neat look. To kick it up a notch, you can try an asymmetrical waistcoat designed with a full button placket on the side and steal all the attention of the crowd with your chicness.
