Looking for Traditional Outfits for Men in 2019? We Have the Best Sherwanis and Kurta Pyjamas that You can Grab Online!

If you are thinking that a man’s fashion wardrobe is limited to a few pants and a few shirts only then you are mistaken. Men’s fashion industry has evolved over the current years with more and more designers creating fashionable garments for men in various niches, different fabrics and for various occasions. From beach wear, sleep wear, sportswear, casual wear, semi-formal wear, ethnic wear to suits, the choice is endless. In this segment, we shall throw light on men’s ethnic wear. Although the list in men’s traditional wear is quite long, we will discuss Sherwanis and Kurta Pyjamas, the two more common options men adorn during festivals, traditional gatherings, weddings, ethnic ceremonies and such other events.

These traditional wear garments have been dominated by pants and shirts most of the time, with their importance being reduced to traditional events only. Here are some basic questions about Kurtas and Sherwanis, which will encourage you to don these attires outside your ethnic or wedding gear.

Ethnic wear is not only comfortable but can also make you look elegant and classy. There are various types, fabrics and lengths of kurtas to adjust to different comfort levels and occasions. Short kurtas also double up as semi casual shirts that need not be tucked in. They are the most preferred traditional wear by men, who want utmost comfort and yet want to look smartly dressed. Short kurtas can be paired with jeans, resulting in a trendy mix. These can also be worn anywhere and at any time.

Long Kurtas, on the other hand, look better for a formal look. They can be worn in casual or small Pooja ceremonies at home, casual get togethers with relatives at home or such regular events. The dressier the fabric or the work on the kurta, the more formal it gets.

If you are confused as to when to wear a Nehru Jacket with your kurta pyjama or sherwani, we will help you out. A Nehru Jacket or a Modi Jacket is quite versatile and can be worn for semi-formal or formal occasions, while a shawl is more bounded and needs to be worn only for certain types of ethnic formal occasions. Another point to keep in mind is that shawls look good only on Bengali or Kashmiri attire.

As our traditional dress is a kurta pyjama for men, you can easily wear it anywhere, but since some offices have dress codes, you need to abide by those rules. If your office is not too strict about your dress code, then you can wear short kurtas with jeans or even a T-shirt paired with jodhpuri pants for that extra comfort. Other than work wear, you can wear ethnic attire anywhere. If you are casually meeting friends, you can dress up in solid colored kurtas, but sherwanis are only for very formal events.

Churidars have been prevalent in the Indian traditional scene since quite long. It was worn by men with kurtas even before Independence. But later, churidars became more synonymous with the Indian women wear. Churidars are a type of skinny pyjamas with multiple churis or creases formed at the ankle. Salwars are more common with Pakistani attire for men.

Indian men wear salwars under their kurtas too. Salwars are pleated trousers which taper towards the bottom and are fitted around the ankles. Salwars are typically worn by Indian men under their Sherwanis.

Matching footwear with traditional kurtas and Sherwanis is equally important as these do not look good with the regular oxfords, formal shoes, loafers, moccasins or slippers. Kurta Pyjama or Sherwanis look good with juttis, Kolhapuri chappals and leather sandals. However, today, men have started experimenting with different modern styled footwear like sandals, boat shoes or espadrilles.

Blingy, heavy embroidery or dark shades on your kurta Pyjama or Sherwani look great, but these heavy dresses should be worn only for events happening late in the evening or at night. Pastel shades or light colored shades either in solid or little design, look best for occasions taking place during the day.
